HBD! Bassel Khartabil would be 45 today. Open‑hardware pioneer, Wikimedia contributor, and co‑founder of New Palmyra — with unreleased letters, drives and notes that could still reshape heritage preservation and open tech. Honor him: edit, share, build.

🇸🇾🇪🇺 The EU has restored full trade relations with Syria, for the first time since 2011.

Syria's new government, which took power after Assad's fall, is trying to rebuild a country devastated by 13 years of civil war.

China and Gulf states are already moving into Syria.

For Europe, it's an opportunity to build influence in a strategically critical region before others do.
