HTS is not al-Qaeda, but it is still an authoritarian regime to be reckoned with
(2021) In Middle East Institute- Abstract
- This article argues that while HTS’s transformation and split from al-Qaeda is real, al-Jolani must be pressured to share power over Idlib and loosen his group’s authoritarian grip, which is causing grievances that in the long term will push locals into the hands of radical groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda.
