Statement from Jolani

Here's the latest statement released by Ahmed al-Sharaa, the rebel commander also known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, since the ousting of Bashar al-Assad this morning:

"Pray to Allah in gratitude for the victory He granted through your efforts, and enter Damascus in prostration, lowering your heads in humility. Be gentle with your families and loved ones, lower to them the wing of kindness, and be the best of soldiers, as described by the Messenger of Allah Prophet Muhammed. 

"Fear Allah regarding public institutions and their properties. Protect and preserve them, for they belong to the great Syrian people, and you are their protectors. Let us together complete the masterpiece of this victory of the greatest revolution known to modern history."
