— For those unaware, on the left is Ahmed “al Jolani” Al Sharaa, the Salafi Emir of Syria who recently sent his jihadists to massacre up to 2000 Christian and Alawite Syrian minorities
He was an Al Qaeda member throughout the Syrian Civil War until he “moderated” himself in 2019 to receive Turkish support for his faction which ended up winning the Syrian Civil War last December.
He got invited to Brussels and the EU sent him money, money out of the taxes of European citizens.

Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had carried out a similar exercise in 2017 in a matter related to circulation of messages through WhatsApp. The S&P 500 fell 1.3% to 4,204.36, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.7% to 32,943.33. The Dow posted a fifth straight weekly loss — its longest losing streak since 2019. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81. Though all three indexes opened in the green, stocks took a turn after a new report showed U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated more than expected in early March as consumers' inflation expectations soared to the highest since 1981. Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site.
