There have been so many more cases like this. The previous UK government actually destroyed records of them in an attempt to keep them secret.

The United States has granted approval for Syria to integrate thousands of foreign takfiri militants into its new army, according to a report.

The US has granted approval for Syria to integrate thousands of foreign takfiri militants into its new army, after the leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led regime expressed readiness to normalize relations with Israel.

On Monday, the British news agency Reuters quoted three Syrian military officials who indicated that, under the new administration's plan, approximately 3,500 foreign militants who fought alongside the Syrian opposition against former President Bashar al-Assad would be incorporated into a newly created unit called “the 84th division of the Syrian army”.

Asked by Reuters whether Washington had approved this move, Thomas Barrack, President Donald Trump's special envoy for Syria, replied, “I would say there is an understanding, with transparency.”

Barrack asserted that it is preferable to keep these militants, many of them “very loyal” to the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led administration in Syria, within a state project, rather than exclude them.

Washington had opposed this initiative, but its position on Syria changed radically following Trump's meeting with Abu Mohammad al-Golani, leader of the HTS regime, in Saudi Arabia in May.

During his visit to Riyadh, Trump announced the full lifting of U.S. sanctions against Syria.

According to the report, thousands of foreign takfiri militants fought against the government of former President Bashar al-Assad during the thirteen-year armed conflict.

Some of these fighters formed their own groups, while others joined established organizations such as the Daesh terrorist group.

Al-Golani has stated that these foreign militants and their families could obtain Syrian citizenship due to their role in fighting the former regime.

Abu Mohammad al-Golani, a former commander prominent in both Al-Qaeda and Daesh, is currently the de facto president of Syria.

In December, armed groups led by HTS militants announced the complete takeover of the Syrian capital and the fall of President Al-Asad's government.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently revealed how the Israeli military facilitated the HTS takeover in Syria in December.

The security situation in Syria under the control of HTS - a splinter offshoot of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group - remains fragile. Incidents of sectarian violence, including the massacre of hundreds of Alawites in March, have intensified minority fears vis-à-vis the now-dominant militants.

The Venezuelan government released information for its nationals planning to visit or living in the United States, as a result of President Donald Trump's fierce campaign against the migrant community, especially those in an irregular situation.

“The U.S. is a dangerous country, where human rights do not exist for migrants. If you are thinking of traveling, cancel your plans immediately. If you already live there, consider leaving immediately,” said the Venezuelan Ministry of People's Power for Foreign Affairs.

Similarly, the Foreign Ministry of the nation headed by President Nicolás Maduro stressed that U.S. authorities have carried out arbitrary detentions and deportations.

“We recall the case of Maikelys Antonella Espinoza Bernal, torn from the arms of her family by U.S. immigration authorities, as part of their criminal policy of separating families,” it pointed out.

Venezuela also criticized that the U.S. does not follow international laws on immigration protection and human rights.

“If you plan to travel [to the US], don't do it. There is no 'American dream' there, only nightmares. Our duty is to denounce this reality and demand respect for our compatriots,” he asserted.

Previously, the US Supreme Court gave the green light to Trump's strategy to withdraw protection to 500,000 migrants.

Following the ruling of the highest court, the US government has the power, for now, to revoke the legal status that protected people from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti who entered during the Joe Biden Administration (2021-2025).

In January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order instructing the Department of Homeland Security to “terminate all categorical parole programs” that he believed were “contrary to U.S. policies” set forth in his orders.

Two months later, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the end of the CHNV program.

Arms provided to Kiev by Western allies are being transferred to groups destabilizing the Sahel region, according to a Russian Foreign Ministry official

Ukraine is training jihadist fighters and supporting terrorist groups in Africa’s Sahel region, a Russian Foreign Ministry official has said, accusing Kiev of funneling Western-supplied weapons to militants operating across the continent.

Tatyana Dovgalenko, deputy director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Department for Partnership with Africa, made the remarks on Thursday at the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Moscow. Representatives of 104 countries, including African delegations, have gathered at the event to discuss a new global security architecture.

“The Kiev regime continues systematic efforts to destabilize the continent, collaborating with terrorist networks in the Sahel, particularly by training and organizing militants,” Dovgalenko said, according to TASS.

“There is evidence that the arms delivered to Ukraine by Western states are being transferred to terrorist factions operating in various global regions, including Africa,” she added. Moscow has made terrorism and counter-extremism a central focus of its security cooperation with African states, particularly those in the Sahel, which have been embroiled in a decade-long jihadist insurgency.

[...]

Ukraine has been at the center of a growing diplomatic storm in the Sahel region since an ambush by Tuareg rebels in July 2024 left dozens of Malian soldiers and Russian Wagner Group contractors dead. Reports have claimed that Ukrainian military intelligence supplied information used in the deadly attack.

Moscow and the Alliance of Sahel States made up of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have jointly denounced Kiev’s “criminal alliance” with extremist groups. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov earlier accused Ukraine of openly abetting terrorists in the region.
