"We should ask how a society fractured by violence and oppression can heal, confront its painful past, and address a litany of unresolved traumas: from the Hama massacre in 1982 (10,000–40,000 killed) and the 2013 Ghouta chemical attack (over 1,400 killed, including many children) to the more than 100,000 forcibly disappeared and thousands executed in Saydnaya prison, to say nothing of the Syrian regime’s brutal occupation of Lebanon."

Featuring Bassam Haddad on the historical and geopolitical origins of Assad’s rise and fall—and what might happen next. We think through the contradictions: honoring the joy felt by Syrians at Assad’s ouster while simultaneously taking stock of a truly bad geopolitical outcome.
"Prisons have been central to Syrian public consciousness for more than half a century. Some of the most notorious complexes, such as Tadmor (Palmyra) Prison, were constructed by the colonial French Mandate authorities. [..] The Syrian prison network in all its infamy, however, was assembled over two generations of #Assad rule."
