This is how the Big Boys bully in the school ground and in geopolitics.

Less than 6 months after the ousting of Al Assad,
Saudi Arabia and Qatar have paid off Syria’s outstanding debts of about 15.5 million dollars to the World Bank, allowing the resumption of operations after a 14-year pause. The World Bank highlighted that Syria is on a path to recovery, with its first project aimed at improving electricity services.

This development follows US President Donald Trump’s announcement of lifting long-standing sanctions on Syria during his visit to Riyadh. The move signals a significant shift in international policy toward Syria.

Syrian Transitional President Ahmad Al-Shar’aa praised the decision, calling it historic and courageous. He emphasized that Syria will no longer be a site for foreign influence struggles and praised the unity and sacrifices of the Syrian people, which have influenced global opinion.
