This is so depressing. It isn't a liberation if the revolutionaries are being re-arrested. Free Amer Matar now.
Amer Matar from the Syrian Prisons Museum was arrested by the Syrian authorities.
Freedom for Amer!

#Israel: Die Regierung in Jerusalem beschränkt die Pressefreiheit weiter. Journalisten müssen künftig Beiträge über Kampfzonen absegnen lassen - ein Verstoß dagegen gilt sogar als Straftat. Grundlage ist ein Notstandsgesetz aus der Zeit britischer Besatzung.

The clearance of Syria's arrears by Saudi Arabia and Qatar (and the lifting of sanctions) has already paid off: the World Bank just approved a non-repayable grant of $146 million for the rehabilitation of the Syrian electricity grid, including reconnecting it to the Jordanian and Turkish grids.

If this news is confirmed, the payment of $15 million by Saudi Arabia would make Syria eligible for up to $1 billion in World Bank funding. Possibly even on grant terms (non-repayable) depending on the debt sustainability analysis.
Saudi Arabia is set to pay Syria's $15 million debt to the World Bank. This payment will allow the approval of multimillion-dollar grants for Syria's reconstruction, which were previously blocked due to unfulfilled financial obligations to international institutions.
Exclusive: Saudi Arabia plans to pay off Syria's World Bank debts, sources say
Saudi Arabia plans to pay off Syria's debts to the World Bank, three people familiar with the matter said, paving the way for the approval of millions of dollars in grants for reconstruction and to support the country's paralysed public sector.

It is tragic to see that it took dramatic cuts in humanitarian funding - forcing the UN into brutal decisions about which lives to save - for the head of OCHA to announce plans to "shift power" and "prioritize local and national partners for funding". It still remains the right thing to do.

Defining moment for humanitarian community. We must regroup and renew on basis of 3 priorities: best possible crisis response with resources we have; reform and reimagine how we work and shift power to people we serve.

Wir @freiheitsrechte.org wussten, dass mit Schwarz-rot viel Arbeit auf uns zukommen würde. Deshalb bereiten wir uns längst auf die neue Regierung vor. Wenn Behörden die ersten Menschen an Grenzen zurückweisen oder wegen „Umgehung“ der Bezahlkarte verfolgen, werden wir klagen, was das Zeug hält.

On Friday last week, the UN Security Council decided to indefinitely extend the humanitarian exemption to its ISIL & Al-Qaida sanctions regime, which was introduced on a trial basis in 2022. This decision became even more important with the overthrow of the Assad regime over the weekend:
