The Uruguayan government has welcomed six former Guantanamo detainees, including four Syrians, a Tunisian, and a Palestinian, to settle with their families. These men, detained since 2002 as suspected Al-Qaeda militants but never charged, were released after years of searching for a host country. Abdel Hadi Omar Faraj, one of the refugees, expressed gratitude to Uruguay and its president, promising positive contributions while adapting to life in Uruguay. This transfer reduces Guantanamo's inmate count to its lowest since 2002.
