Ukrainian journalists and human rights activists, together with members of the Syrian Emergency Organization (@syrianetf), raised both the Ukrainian and Syrian flags in Umayyad Square in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
The Ukrainian delegation included Nataliya Gumenyuk (@ngumenyuk) , Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviychuk (@avalaina), Leniie Umerova, and Maksym Butkevych.

"One photograph shows an infant who died in 2017, swaddled in a green blanket, said in a caption to be the son of a female detainee in the notorious Branch 235, a military-intelligence-run detention center also known as the Palestine Branch."

UM @larsloekke: “Besøger i dag Syrien som første danske minister i 15 år. Situationen er stadig skrøbelig, men Assads fald har skabt et håb om en ny start. Den udvikling vil vi engagere os i. Blandt andet gennem nyt stabiliseringsprogram for Syrien og Irak på 420 mio.”

Russia is eager for Ukraine to make mistakes. We won’t make any. Our work goes on. Our struggle goes on. We have no right to fall short, no right to retreat or turn on one another. If we lose our unity, we risk losing everything – ourselves, Ukraine, and our future. We must stand together. We must hold our ground. There is no other choice. There will never be another Ukraine. We defend Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!

This afternoon in Latakia, Sunnis, Alawis, and Christians stood side by side, raising their voices for unity and a free Syria, a moment filled with hope, dignity, and the warmth of shared humanity.

Thank you Mehdi for being “pleased”
Syrians are ecstatic their butcher is gone and they get a chance to maybe rebuild the 60% of the country that’s rubble.
Or maybe find their loved ones in the mass graves. Or maybe get electricity for longer than 2 hours at a time.
Anyways.

'Sudan’s war is described as forgotten, but in reality it is tolerated and relegated. Because to reckon with the horror in Sudan is to look into the abyss of regional and global politics.'

Det her er baggrundstæppet for besøget i Det Hvide Hus. Historisk øjeblik for Syrien
Jeg har lige besøgt Jobar på vores besøg i Damaskus denne uge. Og så et totalt sønderbombet område. Synagogen, moskeer og alt var ødelagt og i ruiner. Syrien har behov for en massiv genopbygning- og for at alle bidrager til den genopbygning.

I’ve just returned from a week in #Syria, alongside a large delegation from @MiddleEastInst leadership & Board.
Month on month, #Syria's transition is building in internal capacity, strategic vision, external messaging & foreign relationships. But huge challenges remain.

Russia is not a friendly country.
Russia killed our Syrian people, destroyed Syria, and was the mastermind behind the sieges on civilians to force them into displacement, a military policy it has followed since the days of the Tsarist wars.
Russia ensured Assad’s regime survived all these years, crushing Syrians beneath it.
Russia created ISIS, bombed schools, hospitals, and civilians across Syrian lands.
This is the same Russia that killed Chechen and Caucasian Muslims, expelled entire peoples like the Circassians, Crimean Tatars, Ingush, Volga, Baltic, Bulgars, Greeks, and many others.
And today, Russia is killing and targeting civilians in Ukraine, displacing its people, and occupying its lands.
The Syrian president’s visit to Russia doesn’t mean we’ve become allies. Russia remains an enemy of the Syrian people, a state sponsor of terrorism in our eyes.
Politics may rise above morals and operate based on interests,
but our human stance should be guided only by humanity, ethics, and noble values.
Russia is not a friend.

A Historic Day for Syria !!
The U.S. Senate’s vote to repeal the Caesar Act marks a turning point in Syria’s modern history.
This decision paves the way for the end of an era of sanctions and the beginning of a new phase of reconstruction and economic revival.
After long years of hardship, Syria is confidently re-emerging onto the world stage — charting its course toward stability, opportunity, and a dignified life for its people.

28 of Syria’s senior Christian clerics, from every denomination, signed this statement calling for the repeal of CAESAR.
