Change "[...] Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad during a state-visit to Syria [...]" to "Syrian politician" (in the image caption at the section "Second term (2001–2006)"). That's a more neutral denomination, used in the Bashar al-Assad article. Europeanism (talk) 14:34, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
