An obvious disconnect here at this NATO summit: 🇺🇸Hegseth tells defence ministers that Europe should take control of its own security. 🇪🇺Then he tells Europe to step aside while Trump takes control of their security for them through bilateral 🇺🇦negotiations with Putin.

Although I returned to Damascus—a city where I have personal roots—I must admit: I was among the people inexplicably reticent to go. In my circles, quite a few Syrian exiles have found reasons, like me, to dither and delay. Part of my trip was an attempt to understand why 🧵

How could Western media so systematically misrepresent Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon? Were these wars ignored, or censored, or misunderstood? No quite. They resonate deeply, in fact, with a resurfacing of our own xenophobic and colonial past. mondediplo.com/2025/02/02midd…

NEW -- #Trump's global aid freeze has cut the salaries paid to many of the prison & camp guards responsible for securing 9,500 #ISIS militants & ~40,000 associated women/kids in northeast #Syria. Many are no longer turning up for work.

Five weeks after Bashar al-Assad’s fall, the US and EU still have no policy on Syria’s transition: a seismic change which they have demanded for over a decade, and in which they have much at stake. So far, most responses range from incoherent to wildly counterproductive. 🧵

Good -- #Syria's Arab Red Crescent has dismissed all "advisors" previously hired by the #Assad-picked Khaled Hboubati (a nightclub & casino businessman who made money off sieges).

Hours after Damascus fell, Abu Mohammed Al Jolani headed to his childhood home, which the regime had confiscated and handed to sympathisers, rang the doorbell, and asked the tenants: "Would you mind vacating?" thetimes.com/article/ead248…

The @SyriaCivilDef have lost so many colleagues, worked for years under bombs and double taps, faced vicious and endless disinfo campaigns… I cannot think of a more fitting new chapter than for them to receive a heroes welcome in their own country from their own people.

Never thought we’d see a technocratic government in Syria before Lebanon — & never thought I would ever report from my hometown. 1st byline from Damascus, 1st byline with @rayajalabi. New world. Our read on the most bonkers meeting we’ve ever sat in on: ft.com/content/7efc20…

To understand the collapse of Syria’s army, we must understand the plight of Syrian conscripts: Young men forced to fight against their will, often for over a decade. Below, edited excerpts from a colleague’s heartbreaking, eye-opening interview with one such man (in 2023) 🧵

Today is a day for celebration, despite the uncertainty about what lies ahead. A cruel regime has fallen. So excited to see what Syrians will do in this new era.
