Whether the two blocs can agree on the division of the strategic locations seized from Kurdish forces - or across Syria more broadly - remains uncertain, particularly as HTS continues to push for complete unity, clearly under its own leadership.IS, which remains active in Syria through both operatives and sleeper cells, has declared its ongoing jihad in the country and denounced the HTS-led rebel authority as "apostates" allegedly brought to power by "infidel" forces.

With the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) weakening in the northeast,on the prisons and camps in Hasaka that hold IS-linked fighters and their families. A mass release or escape from these facilities could significantly bolster IS's ranks and ability to destabilise Syria.in 2011 - and Assad's brutal crackdown on the uprising - the country has attracted a wide range of foreign fighters, clerics and transnational jihadist groups, facilitated by porous borders, particularly via Turkey.

To consolidate its control over Idlib, and possibly as part of deals with foreign powers to contain the jihadist threat in northern Syria, HTS crushed some local and foreign factions and co-opted others, integrating them into its own structures, renaming their units to obscure their foreign origins. These include smaller factions from Central Asia, the Caucasus (Chechens) and China's Uighur minority.Many of these smaller factions, including independent jihadist groups like Ansar al-Islam and Ansar al-Tawhid, actively participated in the latest offensive, which highlights their potential vested interest in shaping the future of the new Syria.

as well as more moderate Islamist figures and scholars have reminded HTS about its "obligation" to ensure the set-up of an Islamic system in Syria, distinguished by a strong Sunni identity."We do care work because we actually do care, you have to have a lot of care courage and you have to be committed to it.

"Dementia patients can be a challenge but if a resident wants something, we try and give it to them," said Ms Rieta.Nadra Ahmed, the chair of the National Care Association, said: "The reality is that we can't recruit local people to undertake this critical role, so we have had to choose the more costly route of using the foreign visa scheme, which was put in place to tackle the workforce crisis we faced in the sector post Brexit and Covid.

"Without [the visa scheme] we will have to limit what we can deliver, and in some cases that will mean the services are not viable."They will have no options but to close and this will impact of those we support."
