DAMASCUS, Dec 21, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Qatar reopened its embassy in Damascus on 
Saturday, 13 years after it was shut early in Syria's civil conflict, as 
foreign governments seek to establish ties with the country's new rulers.

An AFP journalist saw Qatar's flag raised over the mission, making it the 
second country, after Turkey, to officially reopen its embassy since 
Islamist-led rebels drove president Bashar al-Assad from power earlier this 
month.
