The federal government has removed Syria from its list of states that sponsor terrorism, almost a year after the fall of former president Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
Syria had been put on the list in 2012 while Assad was still in power. The country was in the midst of a conflict that began in March 2011, killing nearly half a million people and displacing half the country’s pre-war population of 23 million.
Syria’s new government — headed by former Islamist insurgent leader and now interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa — has been putting effort into reintegrating the country into the international fold.
They’re all terrorists.
