Ahmed al-Sharaa, once an al-Qaida fighter, now as president of Syria, met with Donald Trump in Riyadh to discuss normalizing ties with Israel and US access to Syrian oil. This signifies a striking transformation over two decades. Following the downfall of Bashar al-Assad, Syria's status has shifted from a global pariah to a country of new promises, particularly after Trump announced the lifting of all US sanctions, stirring hope among the war-weary Syrian population for a potential brighter future.
The transformation of Ahmed al-Sharaa from an al-Qaida fighter to the president of Syria, sharing the world's stage with leaders like Trump, is staggering.
Trump's sudden announcement to end US sanctions on Syria gives them a chance at greatness, leaving many Syrians unexpectedly hopeful after years of oppression.
