Beyond capturing criminals on the run, the government is also detaining dangerous psychopaths who should be locked up because they’re a menace to humankind. How can someone have participated in the atrocities of the Assad regime and not be seriously mentally ill? I’m not even.
#Syria: in just one week, 5 high-ranking Regime officers were captured:. - General, commander of Air Force Intel on the Coast - caught in #Latakia.- General & Pilot, commander of 20th Air Division - caught in #Damascus.- Colonel & vice-director of Saydnaya prison - caught in

The U.S. got our memo. In this below tweet, I mentioned how vital it was for sanctioning bodies to rename their Syria-sanctions frameworks. This is what the U.S. just did. It replaced the “Syria Sanctions Program” with the Promoting Accountability for Assad and Regional.
I want to point out that lifting sanctions is far more complex than simply expressing the will to do so, for at least two key reasons. (1) In the case of the EU, the sanctions package includes both sectoral measures and individual listings. The EU cannot simply let the sanctions.

"Experts and officials told The National that while the lifting of sanctions is a milestone, the path to recovery remains long. For Mr Feve, the reintegration of Syrian banks into the global financial system, a necessary step to manage the expected flow of billions in.

"“This is really a vote of confidence from the US government towards the Syrian government. It also shows that the American administration – even its most senior figures, including those most opposed to [Syrian President Ahmad] Al Shara – were unable to convince Trump to reverse.

The World Bank is back in Syria! . For the first time in nearly four decades, the World Bank has approved a project in Syria—a $146 million grant to restore electricity and kickstart economic recovery. Read the details 👇. It’s a critical milestone, but only a fraction of what’s

🇪🇺🇸🇾 The EU has a strategic opportunity to support Syria’s recovery: grant tariff-free access to Syrian goods and help reignite local production. That’s the core argument I make in my latest article, “Why the EU Should Grant Syria Tariff-Free Access,” published in the newest.
🚨 Trade, Not Aid: Why the EU Should Grant Syria Tariff-Free Access. Now that Syria is slowly reconnecting to the rest of the world, the EU has the opportunity to support economic recovery through Autonomous Trade Measures (ATMs) that grant free access for Syrian exports to

As we explain in Syria in Figures, redenomination would offer the Central Bank of Syria (CBS) a unique opportunity to redesign the national currency, not only as a technical adjustment but as a symbolic rupture with the legacy of the Assad regime. Introducing a new series of
❓Cutting Zeros, Restoring Trust: Could Redenomination Address Syria's Monetary Woes?. The Syrian pound has lost over 99.5% of its value since 2011. Today, an SYP 5,000 note is worth just 50 US cents, and carrying the equivalent of $1,000 requires two kilos of cash.

I couldn't agree more 😉.
As always, @KShaar_Advisory's latest "#Syria in Figures" is excellent -- full of incisive analysis on the electricity sector, taxation, liquidity & re-denomination & more. As #Syria opens up, it's this economic analysis that's so important.
