Kabir Taneja on The Syrian Crisis | The Rising India Podcast

Syrian Crisis Explained | The Syrian Crisis and Mohammed al-Jolani: A Closer Look at Conflict and Leadership | In this The Rising India Podcast, we delve into the Syrian crisis with a special focus on Mohammed al-Jolani, a pivotal yet controversial figure in Syria's ongoing conflict. As the leader of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), al-Jolani has played a complex role in shaping the dynamics of the civil war, especially in northwest Syria.

We explore:
The origins of the Syrian civil war and its devastating impact on the region.
Mohammed al-Jolani's rise to prominence, his early affiliations with ISIS, and his transition to leading HTS.
The role of HTS in Idlib and its complicated relationship with local populations, international actors, and rival factions.
The broader implications of al-Jolani's leadership in the context of the Syrian conflict and global counterterrorism efforts.
Why has al-Jolani become a symbol of both resistance and controversy? How does his narrative shape the future of the conflict in Idlib and beyond?

This Podcast provides an in-depth analysis of one of the most complex figures in modern Middle Eastern history. Through a blend of historical context, geopolitical analysis, and humanitarian insights, we aim to present a balanced and comprehensive understanding of Mohammed al-Jolani’s impact on the Syrian crisis.
