Tag: Ahmed al-Sharaa

Ahmed al-Sharaa’s administration in Syria marked its first anniversary by achieving diplomatic milestones and facing internal strife post-Bashar al-Assad’s fall. Key successes include gaining Western backing, with the U.S. and U.K. removing Sharaa from terrorist lists, and normalizing relations through significant meetings, notably with President Trump. These diplomatic efforts led to sanctions relief under the Caesar Act and Syria’s return to SWIFT, fostering prospects for economic recovery amid challenges in asserting control over the diverse sectarian landscape.
