Who is Abu Mohammed al-Julani?

Al-Julani has also played a significant role in shaping the governance structures in areas controlled by HTS. The group has sought to establish a semblance of order in the regions it governs, implementing local councils and providing services to the population. This approach has garnered some level of support among local communities, contrasting with the brutality of the Assad regime. However, this governance model is often accompanied by strict enforcement of Islamic law, which can lead to tensions with more secular or moderate elements of the population.
