Never thought I'd enjoy a deposed dictator's funk album. But it turns out President Alain ("Ali") Bongo of Gabon, who was just ousted in a military coup, dropped this 🔥 in 1978. I once read Turkmenistan's leader DJ'ed in a yurt. This might take the musical cake, though.
Assad decrees that “non-commissioned officers and reservist soldiers who have completed six and a half years of actual service up to the date of July 31, 2023” will be released from service. • En. sana.sy/en/?p=313231 • Ar. sana.sy/?p=1933704.
For the UN to accept such an arrangement with a government whose track record in weaponizing and co-opting aid has been proven time and again is incredible.
As long as it is “in full cooperation and coordination with the Syrian Government.”
Seems like a rewarding b day present. Think I’ve planned to read it for a decade or longer

@jihadyazigi @TheSyriaReport An article came out last year on the 1822 Aleppo earthquake. Aleppo was the third largest city in the Ottoman Empire then.
