I help you understand Syria's political economy, Ph.D.

- Breaking: Excellent speech by al-Sharaa announcing there will be no mercy with former Assad regime members inciting violence against the state and attacking members of the armed forces, the punishment of whoever commits violations against civilians, criminalizing the calls forكلمة رئيس الجمهورية العربية السورية حول المستجدات الأخيرة في الساحل السوري #رئاسة_الجمهورية_العربية_السورية
00:00 - I daydream I may soon be able to visit our home in Aleppo after twelve years of exile by the Assad regime and its allies. How I miss it!
- I'll engage and help the caretaker government in Damascus for the country's sake.
- Excited to start a new role as Chief Economic Consultant to the Office of the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Syria. My work will focus on developing the UN’s plan for Syria following Assad’s downfall, in collaboration with the government, and leading on key economic
- Twelve years on, my family that used to live in Aleppo now lives in six countries, our house was barrel bombed, and I can't return to see the bits of my country left standing. Yet I don't feel I regret shouting, "long live Syria and down with Bashar al-Assad" in March 2011.
- مبروك لكل اللي اشتغلوا على هاليوم. مبروك لسوريا إعلان رفع العقوبات. إعلان ترامب، ما له وما عليه، وليش لازم نكون سعيدين بكل الأحوال.
00:00 - See these aid planes that landed in Damascus following the earthquake? None of them applied for sanctions exemptions: simple load-fly-unload operations. Regime-held Syria doesn't receive a fraction of the aid to Turkey, not because of sanctions, but because Assad is a thief.
- I'm so traumatized by Assad that I quit my job at the New Zealand Treasury four years ago to work exclusively on Syria. My life has since revolved around nothing but Assad and his networks to the point I see him frequently in my dreams. I can't believe this might end soon! Wow!
- You can't be pro-Palestine and pro-Assad at the same time if your stance is ethical. Unless you're simply thick, that is.Syria has crucial supply lines for the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance. This proxy war on Syria is not about fighting a mean dictator or bringing freedom and democracy to Syrians. The US proxy war on Syria destabilized the country, destroyed lives, split the region , and
- I know this is controversial, but we should explore taking Jolani off terrorism sanctions lists. He's undergone a spectacular verbal and behavioral transformation that warrants testing. Don't alienate him and a broad segment of Syrian society. Victimhood only radicalizes them.
- Let the world remember that the UN airdropped supplies over 100 times on besieged and regime-held Der Ezzor in 2016 alone. But didn't send any aid to the millions trapped in opposition-held Syria in the first and most critical 72 hours following the earthquake. 1/2
- Syria's conflict is so frozen, it's become an ideal playground for global and regional powers to settle their scores In one week: Russia shelled northwest Syria, Turkey bombed the northeast, Jordan bombed the south, and Israel bombed the north. Us? Syrians? Who gives a shit!
- Only if you knew how many Syrians would love to see your reaction today as the country turns a new page, moving away from the sanctions and ostracization that you brought on all of us.
