Around one year ago, Ahmed Al-Sharaa had a U.S. bounty on his head. However, today he got the opportunity to walk into the United Nations in New York as Syria’s president. Al-Sharaa addressed world leaders and according to the Associated Press, this was the first time any Syrian president has done so in almost 60 years. Benjamin Radd, a lecturer of global studies at UCLA, is speaking with LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall as world leaders react to the speech.
“The most important issues he will raise include the need to lift all forms of unilateral sanctions that continue to hinder Syria’s recovery, the importance of combating terrorism in all its forms, the return of displaced Syrians and refugees, and the advancement of a genuinely inclusive political process rooted in the will of the Syrian people,” a high-ranking Syrian government official said.
