“The factions will be disbanded and the fighters will be trained to become part of the Ministry of Defense and all will be subject to the law,” said al-Sharaa, according to a statement on Telegram.

Trudeau’s finance minister quits
Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s finance minister and deputy prime minister, is leaving the government. Thus, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau loses one of his closest confidants.
Freeland says a resignation was her only “honest and possible” choice after Trudeau last week offered her another cabinet portfolio.
The Prime Minister passed a no-confidence vote in September but has received growing criticism even within his own Liberal Party, and voices are being raised that he should not stand for re-election.
Trudeau wants to see Mark Carney, former central bank governor of both Canada and Great Britain, as finance minister. Carney, for his part, is said to be aiming to replace Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party.
