The two most important (and conventional-wisdom busting) articles in understanding the recent evolution of the Hayat Tahrir al Sham group that has seized control of Aleppo are below. Must read for every journalist, and every analyst inside and outside government, focused on the

Who are HTS, the rebels who captured Aleppo from the Russian-backed Syrian regime? Institute scholar Aaron Y. Zelin literally wrote the book Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. A must-read for anyone watching or reporting on Syria's rapidly shifting battlefield this weekend. washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

Excellent piece on Hayat Tahrir al-Sham by Aaron Y. Zelin: "Although many still view it through the old lens of being part of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, the group and the government it has built in northwest Syria have changed tremendously in the past four and a half years"

Moammar has been searching for his brother for 39 years, arrested by Syrian soldiers in Lebanon when he was 18. He hadn’t heard anything from him since. Until Thursday, when his brother emerged from Hama prison as an old man, 39 years later. theguardian.com/world/2024/dec…

Griezelige burgerspionage-archieven van Assad's geheime dienst, dit alleen al in #Suwayda #Syria Meer dan genoeg bewijsmateriaal voor onvermijdelijke (..?) tribunalen Maar ook van onnoemelijk leed van Syriërs, waarvan dit nog maar het topje van de ijselijke berg zal blijken.. 💔

HTS's Political Affairs Department warns the International community that the regime may kill remaining political prisoners that are in its prison system before the offensive takes Damascus. And notes the potential for destroying evidence of its crimes (as I alluded to in an

Syrians have the right to celebrate the fall of the House of Assad without being lectured by non-Syrians about the reality of their future. Maybe some of you need a reminder, but Assad wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill dictator. Not only did he run a police state of a frightening

Kan me niet aan indruk ontrekken dat de cynische commentaren over het mislukken van revolutie op termijn een vleugje orientalisme aan vastzit. Syrie is een van de ergste soorten dictators kwijt en het volk heeft daar een zware prijs voor betaald

If you are to watch one thing about the Assad regime, make it this 4:20 minutes. Note: The rebels found this little kid in the same prison he’s talking about.

Unbelievable writing from the incomparable Kareem Shaheen on the intense emotions swirling around Syria. Absolute must read. For New Lines Magazine. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/dawn…

Read the book "Syrian Gulag" by researcher and survivor Jaber Baker, in which we examine the history of the prison system from 1970 to 2020. Detainees are now being freed from Assad's underground torture dungeons, but the #Gulag will cast a long shadow. bloomsbury.com/uk/syrian-gula…

Imagine diving into icy waters to save a drowning person, only to have someone on the shore shouting, “But how do they keep warm once you pull them out?” Such is the cynicism many voice about Syrian liberation from Assad. The good is already done. The evil is already gone.

Laten we ajb aandacht hebben voor mènsen i/h M-Oosten en niet over hen berichten in termen van zelfverdediging, terrorisme, ongewenste migranten.. Deze zwaargetroffen vader bezoekt na 30 jaar(!) gevangenschap in Sednaya #Syria het graf van zijn omgekomen zonen in de revolutie..💔

This is the kind of stuff you see when visiting holocaust museums. Sednaya was just that, a brutal, barbaric slaughterhouse of unspeakable cruelty and suffering.

The scenes coming from #Sednaya are haunting — this wasn’t just a prison & torture center, it was a concentration camp. A true horror. Mountains of bodies. Rooms full of disposed clothes & shoes. Skeletons. Bodies partially destroyed by acid.

Mazen Hamada, misschien wel de meest bekende Syrische vluchteling in Nederland is zojuist dood gevonden in de Sednaya gevangenis in Damascus. Het lijkt erop dat hij in de laatste uren van het Assad regime is geëxecuteerd.

Ahmad al-Shar’a puts out a statement congratulating Trump on his inauguration. Don’t think this would’ve been on anyone’s bingo card even a few months ago.
