Ahmad al-Sharaa
De facto leader of Syria since December 2024 and head of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Islamist faction that led the offensive toppling Bashar al-Assad. Also known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, he commands the transitional Syrian government and is navigating international pressure to broaden political inclusion and cut ties with jihadist networks. His trajectory from al-Qaeda-linked commander to head of state is one of the most unusual in contemporary politics.
