It's wild to sign in on here to find former Assad supporters arguing with current Jolani supporters, and despising both.
Feels great to have nuance and actually have morals. BYE

In responding to massacres in Syria, we've seen a "sequence of containment, narrative management, selective prosecutions, and constitutional and legal moves designed more to legitimize a new governing order while protecting the architecture of coercive power." -@SaraHunaidi

[The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy @TimepDC]

@SaraHunaidi Raising very serious concerns about social cohesion in Syria, @SaraHunaidi says: "The incitement, the massacres, the selective accountability, and legitimizing ceremonies has produced a depending social fracture. Many Syrians now question whether they are fully Syrian."

[The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy @TimepDC]

@SaraHunaidi @JustinSalhani @JosephDaher19 We need "security sector reform, an elected constitutional body, diaspora and victim participation, an independent transitional justice architecture, reparations, restitution," says @SaraHunaidi. "No country can do this alone. We need to learn from other countries."

[The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy @TimepDC]

@SaraHunaidi @JustinSalhani @JosephDaher19 We've seen administrative triage, opening of civic and media space, re-engagement with intl institutions, but "we did not pay all of this during the revolution, only to become a little bit better than during Assad." @SaraHunaidi emphasizes need to build foundations for democracy.

@emanabdelhadi @nytimes Aaron Maté doesn’t see Syrians as humans either with his denial of atrocities in Syria the past 14 years. Don’t let people like him use the legitimacy of the Palestinian cause to whitewash his image.

[Sarah Hunaidi @SaraHunaidi]

@nthinggness3e3 @samfreesyria777 I can’t see this. Says the account was suspended. What is it?

[QantaraEN @QantaraEN]

Together with @Kulturaustausch we asked ourselves: will #Syria once again fall into civil war—or is a new beginning possible after decades of dictatorship? Our joint issue will be out September 6! @SaraHunaidi @AhmadKatlesh @r_aldoughli @FerasFayyad @DanniMakk @kristin_helberg

[Sarah Hunaidi @SaraHunaidi]

This. This is what we’ve been living with for more than a month.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

UN experts sounded the alarm over a wave of armed attacks on Syrian Druze communities in Suweida since 13 July, with reports of killings, enforced disappearances, abductions, looting, property destruction, and sexual violence against women and girls. https://t.co/JuFmU7bqAI

[Sarah Hunaidi @SaraHunaidi]

Resharing this because today is the anniversary of Ghouta’s chemical attack.. how I wish Samira was here.

All this death should have never happened again… but here we are.
Our memories will continue to shape our future, unless we face them and process them together.

Practice what u’r preaching here & learn to differentiate btw traumatized/idiotic calls frm Druze barely waking frm a massacre blessed by the interim gov u blindly support, &revolutionary druze who eventually overthrew assad. Stop generalizing & being sectarian. Not a good look.

[Karim @Idlibie]

Once the Lebanese Christians start learning to differentiate between the kleptocratic Assad regime who occupied them and the Syrian people who eventually overthrew it, they will know peace with us.

[Sarah Hunaidi @SaraHunaidi]

@thoughtflblonde @AstroRamiEmad The interim president, Ahmad Al Sharaa. Google it in Arabic.

[Sarah Hunaidi @SaraHunaidi]

This is the type of BS “ME experts” share: “While the gov send in aid truck” lol more like while the government sieges Sweida & thanks the attackers for killing thousands of people & displacing +30 villages, it sends breadcrumbs. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Aaron Y. Zelin @azelin]

While the Syrian government sends in 11 more trucks of humanitarian aid into Sweida today, individuals in Sweida and Shahba hold a demonstration calling for independence from Syria, describing the government as IS, the governor as a spy, while holding the Israeli flag.

[Sarah Hunaidi @SaraHunaidi]

Rage and disappointment and so much grief. No room for anything else.

[Jehad Abusalim @JehadAbusalim]

Anas Al Sharif was born in 1996.

He was 4 when the Second Intifada began in 2000. He was 11 when Israel imposed the blockade on Gaza in 2007. He was 12 during Cast Lead in 2008–2009. He was 18 during the 2014 assault on Gaza. He was 29 when Israel assassinated him in 2025.

[Rami Jarrah @RamiJarrah]

Al-Sharaa’s $14B in MOUs are non-binding, long-term proposals with no timelines, because no actual deals have been signed. Forget how this is being sold: MOUs are not “signed deals.”

And to top it off, the two companies shown in the images are shell entities (basically fake).

[Yaman يمان @YamanAmouri]

بدو يحكي مع الإسرائيلي، ويسمع كلمة الأميركي، ويداري التركي، ويجامل السعودي، ويدهلز للقطري،…
بس إنو يعمل حوار وطني حقيقي وصادق مع السوريين بكل مكوناتن، لاء!
هدول مصنفن بين "خونة" و "إنفصاليين" و "فلول" و "مجموعات خارجة عن القانون" و "وين كنتو وليش ما طلعتو"…
إدارة فاشلة وجمهورا مطبلجي ومرقعجي…

[Sarah Hunaidi @SaraHunaidi]

If you look at the interim gov, you’d think there are no women in Syria.

[Rami Jarrah @RamiJarrah]

The inclusion of more women in Syria’s governance and leadership, must go beyond tokenism or meeting quotas. Their presence will bring balance and restraint, create spaces that are calmer, more thoughtful, and less driven by ego or impulse. It's an advantage not a burden.
