10 Key Takeaways from Syria

Insights, after time in Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia, Tartus, Damascus, Suwayda & al-Salamiya

Dear readers,

As many of you will have gathered now, I’ve just returned from an extraordinary trip to Syria, which brought me to Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia, Tartus, Damascus, Suwayda and al-Salamiya. It’s hard to summarize the enormous amount of insight gleaned from meetings with civil society, local residents, the interim government, armed factions, and both regional and Western diplomats in-country, but I’ve put together ‘10 Key Takeaways’ here, for your interest.

The weekly newsletter will resume as normal from Tuesday Feb 18.

Best, Charles
