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].
Ahmed shares his stories from running Radio Alwan, a talk radio station in the Syrian city of Saraqeb. .
Khalid is from Darayya, a rebel-held city on the outskirts of Damascus. He spoke about his work on the Local Administration Council, a committee that has built a new civic order in a city that now runs itself, without the government of President Bashar al-Assad. .
As summer ends and the school year begins, the Local Council of Aleppo, elected by residents in rebel-held areas of the city, is finding ways to schedule classes – sometimes held in tents, with students and teachers working through power cuts that can last up to 11 hours per day.
For two years Salamiyeh, the Ismaili-majority city 20 miles east of Hama, has skirted much of the violence unleashed on its neighbors despite hosting large anti-government protests. It’s created an environment of political tolerance that differs from Assad regime strongholds and territories held by rebels.
