Ahmed al-Sharaa: “The point is, let's look at what's happening now, regardless of what was said in the media.”

What we are living today is an exceptional, historic and rare opportunity.

The world must not be complicit again in the killing of the Syrian people by slowing down or preventing the lifting of sanctions and preventing them from reconstructing their nation.

Syria, which shaped its recovery and reconstruction priorities by the hands of its own people, opens its doors today to an equal partnership.

I urge armed groups still loyal to the former government to surrender their weapons.
