From early childhood, I was always told that when it comes to international law, there were four countries to watch: Ireland and South Africa for justice, and the US and Israel for injustice. Almost four decades in, that seems to hold pretty well - maybe add England & Germany to the "bad" list.

The Syrian revolution started off as a bottom-up, working class uprising from the peripheries organised through local coordination committees. They set up local councils throughout the liberated areas that coordinated to provide services in the absence of a state. 🧵

Even the deaf and mute community now have a voice in Syria.

The city of Homs today - on the first Friday following the fall of the regime

I’m subscribed to a lot of Middle East-related podcasts, as well as some general news ones, from many standpoints. Below is a thread of links to podcast episodes analyzing the recent fall of the Assad regime in Syria. They represent a range of perspectives.

An image from in front of the grave of dictator Hafez al-Assad in Qardaha.

In the city of Sahnaya, located in the countryside of Damascus, Syrian Christians are celebrating the fall of Assad: “One, one, one the Syrian people are one” as the church bells rings.

Yes person on the internet Syrians are aware that everything isn’t perfect and that there are challenges ahead. I think they didn’t need you to tell them that given that it’s been 5 decades of tyranny and no country ever emerged from tyranny without challenges ahead.

Amazing nature🌅🍀🏞️🌸🏔️❤️

Sharing a new image from dad. A month after his five skin cancer surgeries, including a graft under his left eye, he can remove his eye shield, drive and walk along the beach. Most importantly, he can get back to his photography!

Older. Maybe. Happy. I’d say.
