While I couldn’t celebrate holding my book in person amid the fall of the #Assad regime, I’m proud to share the culmination of 10 years of research: 📖 Romanticizing Masculinity in Baathist Syria: Identity, Gender, and Belonging This is the first book on masculinity in Syria,…
Reshaping my recent journal article on #Sweida protests, resilience and security dynamics⬇️ My analysis attempts at highlighting the historical trace of #druz resilience against #Assad; previous dictator, and how this has transformed them from securitised subjects into…
⚠️New #article online! 🛡️From Subjects to Agents: Spatialising Security and Reverse Securitisation in #Sweida's Uprisings 🔍How does the case of Sweida challenge the state-centric understandings of securitisation theory?shorturl.at/XG9ba ✒️@r_aldoughli (@LancasterUni)
في ظل متابعتي للاشتباكات الجارية منذ سقوط نظام الأسد وحتى اليوم، سواء كانت بين أطراف حكومية أو جماعات مسلحة ترفض نزع السلاح، من المهم أن نُذكّر بما تقوله أدبيات الصراع: حتى وإن لم تبلغ هذه الاشتباكات مستوى الحرب الأهلية الكاملة (التي تُعرّف في دراسات النزاع بأنها تتطلب أكثر من…
Miscommunication in Baku: The road to escalation in Suwayda Syria in Transition has learned from well-placed sources that the recent escalation in Suwayda is the result of a consequential misunderstanding between Syrian and Israeli officials during a face-to-face meeting in Baku…
الاعتداءات يلي عم تحصل بحق البدو في الجنوب السوري هي جرائم انتقامية يجب ايقافها ومحاسبة مرتكبيها
Western scholars reporting on #Syria. Kindly, refrain from reinforcing sectarianism and reductionism even more among Syrians. #Sweida is bigger than the stupid Hijri. Don’t be part of securitizing a whole Syrian city!
Since the U.S. & regionally-mediated deal entered into force overnight, things have again turned ugly in #Suwayda. Hikmat al-Hijri's military council (& aligned militias) have swept back into territory lost in previous days -- amid reports of killing of Bedouins & displacement.

It is official 😊 I am signing my third book contract with Cambridge University Press. This book aims to trace the life trajectories of Syrian fighters and their pathways into “nation-builders” in post-Assad Syria.
العصابة…! كلمة مقتبسة من حديث السيد #الشرع اليوم كأوصاف لمن ارتكب جريمة #الكنيسة. لا بد من وضع توصيف حقيقي وشفاف لخطاب هذه الفئة الفالتة من كتل مُعسكرة تحمل ارث مظلومية مشحون طائفيا وتواقون لتطييف نزاعهم الايدولوجي مع تغير الحكم في سوريا. هذا مطلب أساسي لوقف الانفلات الأمني…
MER issue 314 'New Gender Frontlines' is my 10th issue for @meriponline and the 5th put together amid an ongoing genocide and the ever-shifting and worsening circumstances for everyone connected to our region. Grateful for our writers, who keep us going. merip.org/magazine/314/
Happy to see my piece “Syria’s New Men” republished in the latest issue of @meriponline . It’s been a long journey with this one/thinking through what new forms of power, masculinity, and survival look like in post-Assad #Syria. Huge thanks to @MaryaHannun for her brilliant…
I am resharing my report on the complexity of integrating armed groups and rebranding war criminals such as Fadi Saqr. Saqr is just one figure among thousands of war criminals. Rebranding these figures because they were controlling illicit networks is building another…
(اسفة للنشر مرتين ولكن اليوم طلعلي بحثين محكمين) هذا البحث تحديدا هو للمقاتلين العلقانين بليبيا والنيجر ومحاولة تسليط الضوء حول دوافعهم للقتال خارج الحدود السورية. رفضت استخدام مصطلح "مرتزقة" كمحاولة للتشابك النظري والعلمي مع هذا المصطلح الذي يبني نظرة احادية عن فاعلية هذا…
My latest Fighting beyond borders: unravelling the complex drivers of Syrian fighters in foreign conflicts. I refrain from using “mercenaries” but rather situate their drivers to fight in North Africa as part of the interplay of gain&despair. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Thrilled to share my latest piece: “From Subjects to Agents: Spatialising Security and Reverse Securitisation in #Sweida’s Uprisings” with International Spectator. Deep gratitude to colleagues and interviewees who inspired this analysis. The Sweida case pushed me to theorise…
