For more than 4 decades, the Assad family made sure the horrors it committed in Hama stayed unspeakable — killing tens of thousands in a savage month-long siege, then hunting those who carried the memory. Now, finally, the survivors can speak. apple.news/ApT9PZtDZTS2...
In Hama, survivors of the Assad family’s first massacre can finally speak — The Washington Post
Bashar al-Assad’s father brutally crushed an uprising in Hama, creating a blueprint for repression. Decades later, Syrians can now start to tell their stories.

An excellent analysis of why Assad's closest allies deserted him. "By the time rebels launched their offensive, neither Iran nor Russia saw sufficient value in expending further resources to prop up a regime that had become more liability than asset." carnegieendowment.org/middle-east/...
Why Did Iran Allow Bashar al-Assad’s Downfall?
Tehran may have assumed there would be opportunities to exploit in Syria’s likely instability in the future.

The insides of government jails, once known only to those who had suffered or served there, were broadcast on televisions across Syria. Videos showed freed inmates — exhausted, stunned, often barefoot — staggering out into the night. by @leloveluck.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/1...

Many TV ads on now for homelessness charities. I wonder if there's any reason why they don't all combine? The scale of the crisis (no pun intended) in the UK seems worse than Dickensian and radically needs addressing.

Four now confirmed dead in this strike, two of them World Central Kitchen aid workers
World Central Kitchen volunteers have been hit again, by an #Israel’i airstrike in #Gaza today. One of the only orgs successfully getting food to thousands of starving Palestinians is now pausing ops while they investigate what happened & figure out how to protect their staff under these conditions.

Idlib, Aleppo, Hama…nothing short of a complete regime collapse. Events moving so quickly it’s impossible to grasp what’s going on, let alone pontificate about what’s next. But unrest in Daraa and *something* going on Damascus suggest this isn’t stopping any time soon.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back.
I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.
