The incident in which a 17-year-old teenager named Nael M. was shot to death by the police in France sparked tension in Brussels as well. A group of young people around the Anneessens rail stop set piles of cardboard on fire, and the flames spread to a vehicle. The police blockaded the region with a large team. Ixelles police spokesperson said that the events started as a result of calls made on social media after the events in France and that the police had detained at least 10 people so far.
Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara visited the International Monetary Fund (IMF) headquarters in Washington during his talks with US President Donald Trump. He was welcomed by IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.
Georgieva said on social media, “It was a privilege to host President Al-Shara at the IMF. We discussed the economic transformation Syrians need and deserve, and I reiterated the IMF’s readiness to assist through technical support to key institutions.”
