If you want to understand why there was a war in Syria -and why Assad prevailed - read this devastating account of the torture in Syria’s prisons by @ABarnardNYT. 128,000 people have disappeared into this nightmare over the past 8 years. https://t.co/Cqu0AbfLbz
The Assad regime & Russia are responsible for 90% of the strikes on health facilities in Syria according to a new tally of Physicians for Human Rights

Save these images preciously, and keep the memory alive.
One day, “they” will re-write history, and try to tell you that it was doomed from the start, that it has never been a sweeping, popular, peaceful, civil, genuine uprising...

Wonderful review of Khalid Khalifa's new book: Death is Hard Work. I teach from Khalifa's novels. Look forward to the chance to share this one with students.

Will it be weird if I don’t have a photo of myself 10 years ago because I had to run away leaving everything behind me ?
I left behind me memories and a lovely house got destroyed later, unfortunately I can’t show them to you but I have them saved in my mind

“A joke.”

The things diplomats say about Pompeo’s Cairo speech are much more fun than the actual speech. By the great @lrozen https://t.co/Vl0lqMfh9x
Sudan's genocidal dictator Omar al-Bashir, the first sitting president to be indicted by the International Criminal Court, arrives in Damascus to meet the man who will be the second.
If only the ICC could arrest...
I'm from the Middle East. This picture moves me nearly to tears - curiously, more than I find it moves young Europeans. Do young Europeans even realize what has been achieved? It's nothing less than sacred, because peace is sacred, because human life is sacred.
The pictures of Pompeo grinning, smiling, and laughing with the crown prince—as if a journalist wasn't just murdered—are remarkable. Not only is it bad policy; it's downright embarrassing. It makes Pompeo look like an unserious pushover. It's really indefensible on any grounds
JOB alert: I'm involved in a number of exciting research projects on Syria, and we are looking to hire a Syrian researcher. Ideally based in Turkey or Leb. Should have excellent interview and research skills. DM me if interested
"I didn't know what was happening to me except that I was screaming and I was in pain. I felt like my thoughts no longer belonged to my body and my body no longer to my soul. My soul was elsewhere and my body was in the hands of the monsters."

I'm sorry for these horribly graphic photos but this is what's happening in eastern #Ghouta (#Syria), nobody is doing anything to stop it.
Maybe I will get suspended for this but if we can't show the truth than why even bother being on here?
