Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Syria Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on May 15, 2018, and transitioned some of our coverage to Peacebuilding Deeply, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on the Syrian conflict. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].

The PYD and its YPG and YPJ militias regularly, and often forcibly, recruit child soldiers and deploy them to the battlefield, writes Eva Savelsberg. The U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State group, which has closely partnered with the PYD, should not allow a war against extremism supersede child rights.
