Celebrating 12 years of impactful work, amplifying #MENA centered policy discourse, deeply rooted in local expertise.
Inspired by the changemakers who peacefully took to the streets in 2011 across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and who have continued to take to the streets, online, and in diaspora and exile since, TIMEP was founded twelve years ago today, on February 14, 2013.

This year was a painful reminder that, far too often, policies about our region are decided upon without regard for their human cost to us.

@TimepDC works tirelessly to change that.

With your support, we’re getting ready to do even more in 2025.

Please give generously and share widely. Thank you!
Now, more than ever, it is essential our community have the power & resources to influence the policies impacting MENA. Deputy Director @tekaldas.bsky.social explains how TIMEP is making that possible.

“Several European countries have already paused asylum applications from Syrians, following the overthrow of the Assad regime.”

Many share René’s pain. As the world shrinks, walls close in. Be a lifeline, hold them dear. Human life surpasses any promised doctrine.

Instead of lifting sanctions or surging aid into Syria after Assad's fall, the first thing some European govts did was freeze the processing of Syrian asylum applications.

For @timep.bsky.social, Obai Kurd Ali and I explain why this was the wrong course of action to take timep.org/2024/12/18/l...
NEW: TIMEP's Obai Kurd Ali and @maitelsadany.bsky.social argue that the decision of some European countries to pause the review and processing of all Syrian asylum applications is premature, unethical, and not commensurate with facts on the ground.
