Ahmed al-Sharaa: “Anybody who stands against the lifting of sanctions would be complicit in killing the Syrian people once again.”

President Trump took a big step towards Syria by lifting the sanctions with a quick, courageous and historic decision.

I believe 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 call on pro-government forces to avoid harming civilians or mistreating prisoners.
