Mohamad al Bashir was born in Syria in 1983. The Islamist politician graduated from Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Aleppo in 2007 and subsequently in Sharia (Islamic law) at the University of Idlib, the northeastern province that served as main opposition fiefdom of the Al Assad government in recent years and where he is from.
He made his leap into politics after a series of popular revolts of 2011 against Al Assad, within the framework of the so-called “Arab Spring” which then spread throughout Syria. Al Bashir was appointed last January as head of the Salvation Governmenta political branch linked to HTS whose headquarters are in Idlib.

War in Syria: Bashar Al Assad’s regime fell and rebels took Damascus
After almost 54 years, Syria will no longer have the Assad dynasty in government. The fall of Bashar Al Assad’s regime this Sunday brought a dramatic end to his almost 14-year fight to stay in powerwhile his country fragmented in a brutal civil war that became an indirect battlefield between regional and international powers. Meanwhile, the Government recommended citizens not to travel to the conflict zone.
The leader’s fall marked a stark contrast to his first months as Syria’s unlikely president in 2000, when many expected him to be a young reformer after three decades of his father’s iron control. At just 34 years old, the Western-educated ophthalmologist was seen as a gentle figure who came to power to twist the country’s destiny.
