Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Downing Street on Tuesday morning, on his first trip to London.

The landmark meeting reflects the enormous shift in UK-Syria relations since the fall of longtime autocrat Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.

Sharaa was previously head of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a rebel coalition that ousted Assad and was until recently a British-designated terrorist group.

Sharaa himself is a former member of al-Qaeda, which remains a proscribed terrorist organisation in Britain.

In

July, Britain fully re-established relations with Syria, 14 years after severing ties with Assad's government. Starmer's government then de-proscribed HTS the following October.

Sharaa's arrival in London is another landmark moment in the relationship between the two countries.

His visit is expected to lead to the full reopening of Syria's embassy in London and the British embassy in Damascus.

A terrorist who AGREES to let the West LOOT his country is NO LONGER a terrorist.

The moment he STOPS doing their BIDDING, they'll BRAND him a terrorist.

So its the west killing people in Jos, Kwarra, Venue,Enugu and Benin right?

If they can in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya and Somalia, why not in Nigeria? Since AL Qaeda and Boko Haram have same ideology and are allies
