107 Maghreb countries remain divided over Syria’s reintegration into the Arab League, though recent moves by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE have accelerated normalization. Algeria has long supported Syria’s return and used the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake as an opening for President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to reconnect with Bashar al-Assad after a decade.

If you have spent any time on a dating app in hetero-world, you’ve probably encountered the type: enthusiastic, communicative, “partnered” with someone but “open” and very eager to talk about it.
