This article is part of a collaborative project between the Arabi Facts Hub (AFH) and the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP) on misinformation and disinformation in the Arab World. As Syrians marked the 11th anniversary of the August 21, 2013 deadly chemical attacks on the Damascus suburb of Ghouta, disinformation campaigns continue to obscure the deadly legacy of these events.

A year into the war, so much has been destroyed in Sudan making it impossible to quantify the personal and collective loss of what makes the country what it is: the institutions, the documents, the books, and artifacts. The Continent magazine described the war as “destroying not just the country’s future, but also the country’s past,” and this rings true now more than ever.

It has been 13 years since the Syrian revolution started in March 2011. In those 13 years, more than 350,000 civilians have been killed and more than 13.5 million—over 60 percent of the population—have been displaced. A staggering 155,000 individuals were detained or forcibly disappeared, 135,000 of which suffered this at the hands of the Assad regime. Still to this day, 112,000 people remain forcibly disappeared, leaving their loved ones without any answers.

When the protests first started in Syria in 2011, my father changed. He was very calm. He told me: “I had hoped my whole life that this would happen, but I never thought I would witness it. Even if I don’t get to see victory for the Syrian people, it is enough for me that I have been there at the beginning.”I can’t help but think of these words today.
