  • Syria's New Men - MERIP

    1 week ago | merip.org | Marya Hannun

    Forthcoming in MER issue 314. In January, I returned to Damascus after 14 years in exile. The last time I had stood in the city’s streets, towering statues of Hafez al-Asad and Bashar al-Asad loomed over the squares. Following the collapse of Bashar Al-Asad’s rule in December of 2024, those statues now lay in fragments—some torn down, others left to decay. Turning a corner, I caught sight of a new Ministry of Defense recruitment banner hanging in the Umayyad Square.

    On September 17, 2024, pagers exploded across Lebanon, indiscriminately killing at least 32 people and blinding or otherwise maiming thousands.

The Axis has served a strategic purpose for Iran, functioning as a tool of deterrence in the wake of the 2003 Iraq invasion.

    Jan 15, 2025 | merip.org | Marya Hannun

    In Jordan’s Za’atari refugee camp, to pay for food at one of the World Food Programme (WFP)’s distribution centers, Syrian refugees must lean into an iris scanner that registers their biometrics. The scanner then logs their transaction onto the program’s blockchain network: Building Blocks. Za’atari is the site of the world’s first comprehensive biometrics system for refugees.
