Dear subscribers,

I hope you’re well. Now that I’m back, this ‘catch-up’ newsletter covers conflict & security developments over the past two weeks. Prioritizing this means the Syria Weekly datasets will remain fully up-to-date with no gaps — and a full Data Update will come later this week, as normal.

Next week’s newsletter will resume full coverage, including all transitional developments: in terms of diplomatic engagements, and economic, judicial, political, infrastructure, humanitarian, security, education, and health developments.

The weekly ‘Your Questions Answered’ videos will also resume at this week.

Thanks as always for your engagement.
