🇸🇾 "I'VE CHANGED - I'M NOT AL-QAEDA ANYMORE!" | Check Description

🇸🇾 "I'VE CHANGED - I'M NOT AL-QAEDA ANYMORE!" - says Syrian rebel leader Abu #Jolani, despite being on the international terrorist list & having a $10 million bounty on his head. 🤭

Jolani left no doubt that the ambitions of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) - a group that was formed out of a former al Qaeda affiliate - are nothing less than bringing an end to the Assad regime.

1:23 Given my level of awareness and my young age at the time, my actions evolved - innocent, moderate rebel Jolani.

In his first media interview in years, he speaks about plans to create a government based on institutions and a "council chosen by the people."

So, like the democracy spiel we've heard somewhere before? 🤨
