Will the real Syrian stand up? Abu Mohammed al-Golani, or al-Joulani, is now shedding his nom de guerre, asking instead to be addressed by his birth name, Ahmad al-Sharaa. Earlier he also renamed his militia to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham — “Levant Liberation Committee.” It used to be al-Nousra Front, the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda. Also, too, the likely next Syrian strong man has shed his fatigues for a blazer, and, notably, has trimmed his beard.
