Syria's interim leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa, has reshuffled several key government positions, notably removing his brother, Maher al-Sharaa, from his role as secretary-general to the presidency. This move comes after Maher al-Sharaa's initial appointment drew accusations of nepotism, reminiscent of practices under the former Assad regime. The interim president also appointed new provincial governors and an information minister, Khaled Zaarour, an academic from Damascus University.
