Immiserated, humiliated, yet resilient: how Syrians survive America’s economic siege HEKMAT ABOUKHATER·MAY 16, 2023

Good article on what life is like for the man-on-the-street in Syria. Yet the Shia-Sunni split continues. Yesterday I read an article by a Sunni Syrian who was outraged that Assad’s Shia government had been readmitted to the Arab League. He cited all the atrocities committed by Assad’s forces while failing to mention any of the atrocities committed by Sunni forces. Just a sad story and, as this article points out, these religious differences, backed up by international powers, are just creating misery for all the people who live in Syria, whether Sunni or Shia.
