Outrage in Raqqa as ISIS Issues Fatwa to Cut Power During Ramadan
As the holy month commences, the extremist group is clamping down further on its Syrian stronghold.
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].
Karen Leigh is Managing Editor of Syria Deeply.
