Naše zářijové vydání pro @SyriaTransition je nyní venku. Tento měsíc v něm máme řadu zajímavých textů, včetně pohledu na novou měnu, recenze knihy o PKK a komentáře od dosavadního ředitele rozvojové agendy pro Sýrii na britském ministerstvu zahraničí
Přeloženo z jazyka angličtinaMůj nejnovější rozhovor s představitelem drúzského hnutí Rijal al-Karama v Suvajdě. Témata zahrnují: vizi zakladatele hnutí v protikladu k projektu „Mount Bashan“ Hikmata al-Hidžrího, vztahy s „Národní gardou“, situaci v Suvajdě a jednání s Damaškem
Přeloženo z jazyka angličtinaTo, o čem Gregory ve videu mluví, je v podstatě to, čemu by se v terminologii islámských frakcí říkalo ‚šaríʿatský kurz‘. Existuje jak v armádě, tak na ministerstvu vnitra. Může zahrnovat výuku islámu z hlediska věrouky a/nebo některých právních otázek.
Přeloženo z jazyka angličtinaMyslím, že to příliš interpretujete. Na syrských veřejných školách bylo běžnou praxí, dokonce ještě před pádem režimu, oddělovat dívky a chlapce po ukončení prvního stupně. Například tam, kde žiji, je to takto dodnes.
Přeloženo z jazyka angličtinaIslámský stát způsobil Sýrii obrovské škody, ale v mé oblasti je několik vesnic, které byly z velké části zničeny, a viníky — pokud jde o letecké údery a rabování — jsou Asadův režim a jeho spojenci.
Přeloženo z jazyka angličtinaMy latest post: on Syrian Turkmen activist complaints about the teaching of Turkish in Syrian schools, and what the recent controversy tells us about exaggerated portrayals of Turkish influence in Syria & Syria-Turkey relations https://t.co/B8YhsqDs8W
I agree with Reem. Why is anyone seeking out opinions on Syria from the likes of Daniel Haqiqatjou, 'Partisangirl', or Sulaiman Ahmad? They are ignorant and far removed from the country.
More cases of abuse of legal processes in Syria. A local Aleppo media activist who complained of corruption in the Aleppo city council says the head of the council raised a criminal complaint against him on basis of 'incitement to murder', and now he is wanted for arrest https://t.co/9U4y6ReZ0d
If you stay longer than 15 days in Syria you go to Passports & Immigration Directorate in Damascus or Aleppo, present your passport with a proof of stay document (normally signed & stamped by local mukhtar), pay a small application fee, & stay is extended to 90 days visitor visa.
That the new Syrian army has a religious dimension to it has been clear for some time: for instance, the fact that there are 'Shari'is' (including one Uzbek muhajir I know) working in the Ministry of Defence.
My latest: interview w/a Suwayda' resident on recent controversies including students in Suwayda' having to go to govt-controlled areas for exams,Hikmat al-Hijri's remarks on Druze ties to Israel,& claimed clashes btwn pro & anti-Hijri factions in Suwayda' https://t.co/mlIYFfAb9f
For @SyriaTransition, @LarsHauch argues current UN approach to Syria reflects continuity & risks repeating mistakes of 2011-2024,where access,presence & technical support substitute for advancing political principles of Resolution 2254 regarding transition https://t.co/AmCvjfCUVU
Full translation & overview(w/annotations) of Syrian Education Ministry's new decree on Kurdish language instruction in schools,& how it relates to balance of power between Syrian Democratic Forces & Syrian state amid the former's dissolution & integration https://t.co/lDGXDBQ662
Re-upping too the first post I did on my newsletter: a Ba'athist Iraq intelligence study on ethnic minorities in Baghdad, published in 1984 https://t.co/BL3g4ustxI
Very true. The majority of analysts, researchers & journalists who raise substantive criticisms do so because they care about the Syria's future & want to make constructive suggestions. Very different from sensationalist pundits on X who just cry 'terrorist/al-Qaeda government!'
I live in Syria & can recognise in some areas you have to acknowledge legacy of war. There isn't the money to rebuild everything in a rapid timeframe or supply the whole country with 24/7 electricity. But Gregory Waters' point on abuse of legal channels is entirely valid.
Wrong again 'Partisangirl'. I did in fact go to Syria while Assad was still in power and saw for myself glimpses of the personality cult around him, his family and allies. This equestrian statue of Basil al-Assad that I photographed is just one example. https://t.co/GcvJbuKVsW
'Egyptian Britt [sic]' is a new one...🤣🤣. Anyway, 'Partisangirl', anyone can look at photos, videos and testimonies from the Assad era & compare with the present situation & see the difference. It's not too late for you to rethink what you're doing & come back to Syria 😃😃
No. I live in Syria & the country's atmosphere now is nothing like the omnipresent personality cult of Assad and allies, even though there are people who are obviously 'drum beaters' for the state. You don't have Sharaa and Erdogan portraits & posters hanging all over the place. https://t.co/VqJP91zhrY
The latest crap from a Moroccan idiot whose shtick is: ‘I am a Muslim who supports Itamar Ben Gvir’ 😅😅
In case you missed it….on a new impressive Greek funerary inscription found in Afrin
In case you missed it…on the question of whether the Druze of Jabal al-Shaykh feel protected by the Israeli presence…
My latest: an impressive funerary monument recently found in Afrin has been transferred to Aleppo National Museum, but erroneous info is circulating on social media about the inscription's language, transcription & translation. I correct the errors here https://t.co/Do4JhxEKgE
New interview with a local from the Druze village of Hadhr in Qunaytra that lies opposite Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights. The Syrian state still remains largely absent and there are mixed feelings about the Israeli presence: https://t.co/KPCJh6Lcr4
Al-Sharaa is not the leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria. This description is nearly a decade out of date.
