Lubna Albaset is an activist sharing this message from protests against the Syrian regime in Suwayda.
She’s calling on #COP28 organisers to #UninviteAssad’s brutal regime that has destroyed Syria’s landscape & the oak trees in her hometown. Support her: act.thesyriacampaign.org/sig…

On 29th July 2013, Paolo Dall'Oglio met ISIS in Raqqa to discuss the release of prisoners. He never returned.
On the 10-year anniversary of his kidnapping, NGO @Relief4Syria continues to remember Paolo and ask questions.

Another International #DayoftheDisappeared and the families of Syria's disappeared loved ones are still waiting. Syrians need answers now.

Today in my city. "We want the detainees!"
Syria has more than 130,000 detainees and forcibly disappeared persons. The vast majority of those detainees are taken by the Syrian government.
We want our detainees back!
#شاهد: بالحق بالدين.. بدنا المعتقلين. المحتجون في ساحة السير/الكرامة وسط السويداء، يطالبون بالإفراج عن جميع المعتقلين السوريين.

'Every single root cause & driver of 2011's uprising remains in place today, and most are worse than they were then.'
This is a line I make a point of saying every time I speak about #Syria. It's a reality that few policymakers want to hear these days, but it's still true.

Despite the "disorderly adjustment" now underway in the economy, without reforms, Lebanon will continue to see triple-digit inflation, and its public debt could reach nearly 550% of GDP by 2027, the International Monetary Fund warned in a report Thursday apnews.com/article/lebanon-i…

Pleading for realism & and welcoming the Arab "initiative to help solve the conflict", UN Syria envoy @GeirOPedersen's interview gives me the chills.
How can a 'step-for-step' approach materialize when the Syria gulag functions & 150.000 are disappeared?

The EU is morally bankrupt. Even as it claims to be fighting for democracy in Ukraine, it does deals with the racist conspiracy theorist who's restored dictatorship to Tunisia. Arab democrats pay in blood and tears for progress, then the west helps the tyrants roll progress back
We are here as Team Europe to mark an important milestone in the relationship between the EU and Tunisia.
We are working with Tunisia on a comprehensive 5-pillar package. nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1MnxnpQpz…

The news via @amnesty that one of the dozens of Syrian refugees forcibly deported by Lebanon in recent days has already been arrested is appalling. By raiding Syrian homes & deporting dozens of refugees the Lebanese authorities have violated int'l law & shown a shocking lack of humanity.
R&R Syria retweeted
Yesterday I wrote about Lebanon’s army cracking down on Syrians & deporting dozens in weeks, including a defector whose life was at stake.
The amount of hate I got simply for putting this info out, truly depressing.
Very concerned about this latest wave of anti-Syrian rhetoric.
Education has been an emergency for millions of #Syria|n #refugees in #Lebanon over more than 10 years. Now, it has also become an emergency for millions of Lebanese. Don't let this generation down! Help is possible. Help is needed.
Lebanon has for decades churned out highly skilled graduates who went to work in the Gulf and elsewhere, sending remittances that helped keep their families - and the country's economy - afloat. Now extended school closures amid the crisis are raising fears of a lost generation

Syria: today marks the 10th anniversary of the arrest by Assad's Intelligence of an entire family, Abdul Rahman Yassin (a chess champion), his wife & their 5 children. Their whereabouts are unknown to date. Fate of detainees in Assad's jails has long been requested, to no avail.
🚨 UPDATE EARTHQUAKE 🚨
Heartbreaking report from #Salqin in #Idlib Province. This is the place where we are supporting survivors of the #earthquake with food and shelter. Please share & help! Much more is needed.

Sad news.
What an incredible loss. Dr. Bassma Kodmani, an-ward winning Syrian French academic, author, and political activist has passed away at age 64. Dr. Kodmani was a co-founder of Syria’s first opposition coalition and a long time advocate of democracy and political reform in the Arab World as the Executive Director of the Arab Reform Initiative. She was the also the recipient of ‘the national de la Légion d'honneur,’ the highest French order of merit.
This morning, as I replayed the last audio message I received from her, which was on Nov 9, I felt as if she was talking to me from the beyond. I had urged her to come to the US for treatment but she was content with the medical care she was receiving in Paris.
Bassma, whose name means “beaming smile” will leave a huge void not only in the Syrian and Arab political and intellectual landscape but also in the hearts of people who knew her. #بسمة_قضماني
رحمها الله، غفر لها الله، آنسها الله، وعوّضها الجنّة.
