Hey fam! Canada just shook things up this week by dropping Syria from its state terrorism list and delisting Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). 😮
Here's the 411:
- What went down? On Friday (Dec 5, 2025), Canada aligned with the UK and the US, praising steps by Syria’s transitional government toward stability.
- Sanctions still in place: Canada continues to sanction 56 Syrian entities and 225 individuals tied to the old Assad regime.
For you techies and global citizens in South and Southeast Asia, this move shows how major powers tweak policies as situations evolve—kind of like when ASEAN updates its trade rules to match fresh economic trends. 🤝💡
Stay curious and keep an eye out for more updates as these global shifts shape our world. 🌍✨
