Bombs in Damascus: A Security Wake Up Call for Syria's Return to Global Stage The recent bomb explosions that injured 18 people in central Damascus during French President Emmanuel Macron's visit serve as a stark reminder of the security challenges still plaguing Syria as it attempts to rebuild and reintegrate into the global community.
This incident is part of a disturbing trend of escalating violence that has been gathering pace over the past few months.
The placement of two explosive devices just outside the security perimeter designated for Macron's accommodation raises serious questions about the effectiveness of Syria's security forces in protecting its leaders and citizens.
