Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, has been invited to the next Arab summit in Saudi Arabia. This is the first such invitation since the country’s war began. The pan-Arab body had suspended Damascus in November 2011 over its crackdown on protests which began earlier that year and which spiralled into a war that has killed more than 500,000 people, displaced millions and battered the country’s infrastructure and industry. However, the invitation comes with a warning from the United States and Britain that they will not be in the business of normalising relations with Assad and his regime.
