Former Al-Qaeda operative Abu Mohammad al-Jolani considering Syrian citizenship for foreign Wahhabi fighters
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, who now goes by his real name Ahmad al-Sharaa, the head of Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS) and Syria's new de facto ruler, has stated that foreign fighters who helped his organization topple the Syrian government may be allowed to receive Syrian citizenship.
He started in Al Qaeda in Iraq, and founded the Syrian branch that is now Al Nusra. This looks like returning to his roots.
Media outlets reported that al-Jolani stated that foreign fighters who entered Syria to fight against the Syrian government were part of the movement that led to the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, and they should be celebrated, as he expressed.

Thousands of Salafist religious extremists from dozens of countries, including Britain, Belgium, France, China, Chechnya, Tunisia, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia came to fight with Al-Jolani against Syria. # id) ?>
