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].

Hundreds of Syrian Kurdish refugees celebrated the holiday of Nowruz, marking the beginning of the Persian New Year, along Greece’s border with Macedonia. They have been stuck in Idomeni along with around 10,000 other migrants after Macedonian authorities sealed the border earlier this month.
Muhammad Faris was the first and only Syrian to be sent into space. Selected as part of a Soviet-led mission in the 1980s, he received a hero’s welcome on his return home. But the national hero now lives as a refugee in Istanbul, forced to flee the violence in Aleppo in the first year of the uprising.
