While political progress stalls, those who attempt escape are killed and those who remain inside are starving. Experts believe t...

This article about the Elfashir siege is so illuminating, and at the same time infuriating & BAFFLING. It is beyond comprehension that *all this* is happening to a population, and no one in power feels any sense of urgency at all.

Nous sommes le 5 août, et la province de Soueïda, en Syrie, est toujours soumise à un siège imposé par le gouvernement, où seuls quelques camions du Croissant-Rouge syrien et d’ONG ont été autorisés à passer. Plus de 500 000 personnes sont assiégées,

🇪🇺Donald Trumps extortion racket comes back for Von der Leyen Ursula von der Leyen gave Trump $1.35 trillion in trade and energy concessions to avoid a tariff war. Now he wants more, and threatens 35% tariffs if we don’t pay up.

Rami says the interim government has made *both* Dec 25 and 26 public holidays. It has added the 26th as an additional public holiday. From what I can read, that seems to be correct.

X is a far-right social media platform.

Who still wants to hang out there?

It's about time not only to leave X but also to start calling it "the far-right social media platform".

You could also just have celebrated this historic day for Syria, and be overjoyed with the Syrians who became part of our European societies.

Europeans instead debate how to send people back most efficiently - that’s shameful.
