Seeing Gazans happy for Syrians is perhaps the best sight in all of this.
"Do you condemn al-Hijri?" is becoming Syria’s version of "Do you condemn Hamas?" in Gaza.
Sweida's under siege for the 8th day. Damascus-Sweida road is closed; no goods, medicine, or aid can pass through. About 600.000 ppl r trapped in their homes with no access to shelter, food, or water. Pls share the link & consider donating if you're able. justgiving.com/campaign/sweid…
Over 14 yrs, Assad enabled Sunni victimization. Now, al-Jolani is doing the same for Alawite, Christian, & Druze communities. These authoritarian & counter-revolutionary military regimes create conditions for the settler-colonial project to expand. The 2011 revolution continues.
تأكد تفضح حملة تضليل ممنهجة تسعى لتأجيج العنف الطائفي نشرت منصة تأكد المتخصصة بالتحقق من الأخبار المضللة، سلسلة منشورات ضحدت فيها سيلاً من الأخبار المضللة، التي تنتشر كالنار في الهشيم، وتحمل سياقاً تحريضياً واضحاً، وتلاعباً بالحقائق، في ظل الأوضاع المتوترة التي تعيشها المنطقة…
الادعاء بأن هذا الفيديو يُوثق قيام "عصابات الهجري" برمي مدني من أعلى مبنى بعد دخولها إلى السويداء هو ادعاء مضلل، إذ أظهر البحث أن نسخة مطابقة من المقطع نُشرت على تطبيق تيك توك قبل أربعة أيام.

Claims have been circulating, alleging that this photo shows the forced displacement of Arab tribal residents from Suwayda by armed Druze militias. However, this claim is misleading. The image actually dates back to 2020 and shows displaced civilians who were forced to flee…
Throughout my stay in Syria (Damascus, Sweida, Quneitra), ppl shared different views about al-Sharaa. Many agree he didn’t conquer the regime militarily. They believe the intl community no longer needs Assad, that al-Sharaa is in power because Israel and the USA approve of him.
Disappointing to see many Syrian diaspora & civil society competing to be part of the new Syrian government. This is what the aftermath of NGOization looks like. Our role as 2011 protesters & researchers is to pressure the government, not to join it. #Justice4CoastalMassacres
