Hani Alagbar was beaming with joy and packing his bags on Sunday morning soon after Bashar al-Assad’s government was toppled by former al Qaeda affiliate Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). He moved to Lebanon in 2012 at the height of the Syrian uprising and hasn’t been home since, not even to attend his father’s funeral. All these years he has worried he might be randomly arrested by the regime.
Algabar, like Syrians elsewhere, celebrated Assad’s unexpected but much awaited ouster. But he wasn’t yet sure what to make of the extremist rebels who will now call the shots. “It’s too early to say how they will operate,” said Algabar.
