Syria Reclaims Its Place on Global Stage
Syria's President Ahmad al-Sharaa addressed the UN General Assembly, the first Syrian leader to do so in nearly 60 years. This follows the end of the Assad family's 50-year autocratic rule, which collapsed in December after an insurgent offensive led by al-Sharaa, ending 14 years of civil war.

In a historic moment, Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa took the podium at the United Nations General Assembly, becoming the first Syrian leader in almost 60 years to address the world body.
Al-Sharaa's address marks Syria's re-emergence on the international stage, following decades of isolation under the Assad regime.
The fall of Bashar Assad's regime last December, led by insurgent forces under al-Sharaa's leadership, concluded a brutal civil war that spanned nearly 14 years.
