Al-Bashir appointed caretaker Syrian PM

Al Arabiya :

The Syrian opposition now in power in Damascus appointed Mohammed al-Bashir as head of a transitional government that will be in place until March 1, state media said Tuesday.
On Sunday, the Military Operations Administration seized the capital Damascus in a lightning offensive, toppling president Bashar al-Assad who fled the country.
“The general command has tasked us with running the transitional government until March 1,” said a statement attributed to al-Bashir on state television’s Telegram account, referring to him as “the new Syrian prime minister.”
Before being tapped for the role, he had been head of the opposition’s Salvation Government in northwest Syria and previously held the role of its development minister.
The Salvation Government, with its own ministries, departments, judicial and security authorities, was set up in the Idlib bastion in 2017 to assist people in the opposition-held area cut off from government services.
It has since begun rolling out assistance in Aleppo, the first major city to fall from government hands after the opposition began their offensive.
