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].
Tom Rollins is a Cairo-based freelance journalist. His work has been published by the Independent, New Statesman, Vice, Mada Masr, Dazed & Confused, Egypt Independent and others.

Druze factions in Syria have largely stayed out of the complicated conflict, but recently protest movements have started to grow against the Syrian government in the Druze-majority city of Sweida in the country’s southern province.
After repelling an offensive led by two hard-line Islamist groups thought to have ties to ISIS, rebels outside the southern city of Daraa are preparing to “finish off” what they see as a possible ISIS attempt to open another front in the war-torn country.
