Summary:
This article calls for a just, inclusive transition in Syria—one that rejects singular narratives and centers plural voices, public accountability, and forward-looking justice. It urges civic dialogue, structural transformation, and locally grounded legitimacy, warning that external normalization alone cannot rebuild trust or prevent the return of authoritarian reflexes.

الخلاصة
مقالة تدعو إلى انتقال عادل في سوريا، يرفض السرديات الأحادية ويُعلي من شأن التعددية والمساءلة العامة والعدالة المستقبلية. تشدد على أهمية الحوار المدني والتحول البنيوي والشرعية المحلية، محذرة من أن رفع العقوبات والتطبيع الخارجي وحده لا يكفي لإعادة بناء الثقة أو منع عودة النزعات السلطوية.

سورية بلا عقوبات غربية: التحديات المحلية التي تنتظر

This episode, Grade 12 Student Hasham Renjbal dives into the rise, reign, and fall of ISIS, one of the most violent terrorist organizations in modern history. From their origins in post-war Iraq to their global media machine and brutal tactics, we look at how they gained power, ruled through fear, and what their legacy means today.

This episode was researched and produced by Hasham as part of his CHY4U World History course RST - where students were challenged to research a topic from 1950-Present that was either in Billy Joel's or Fallout Boy's "We Didn't Start the Fire" (1989 or 2024)

Episode 435: CHY4U - RST - The Rise, Reign, and Fall of ISIS

This week, Ukraine conducted multiple sabotage operations across Russia, including attacks on Russia’s strategic bomber fleet and infrastructure, while representatives from both countries agreed on a prisoner exchange. In the Indo-Pacific, China’s slow resumption of rare earth elements exports has led industries to warn of potential shutdowns. U.S.-China trade negotiations continued, and the U.S. doubled tariffs on global steel and aluminum imports. In the Middle East, Iran rejected U.S. terms for a nuclear deal, while Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to assist in negotiations during a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump.

In this edition of The New Lines Institute Middle East Center’s Post-Assad podcast series, New Lines Senior Director Nicholas A. Heras sits down with Senior Resident Fellow Murad Batal Shishani to analyze the opportunities and challenges for Syria after President Donald Trump’s meeting with interim Syrian President Ahmad Al Sharaa. Shishani also provides a detailed debrief on his recent trip to Syria; assesses the progress of post-Assad Syrian society, politics, and security dynamics; and explains where Sharaa might take Syria next.

It’s Sharaa’s Syria Now

Yon chante pou zèl limanite, soti Gaza rive Ikrèn, kote doulè ak espwa rankontre. Melodi sa ap plonje w nan kè batay pou lapè, ak yon rèv pou mete moso mond kraze yo ansanm. Soti nan sann Palestin pou rive nan lannwit Afganistan, chante sa se yon apèl pou inite ak yon benediksyon pou yon demen miyò.
