“Understanding the Syrian Tragedy” Bassam Haddad
Much of our understanding of Syria has been presented through various political lenses, obfuscating some very basic facts and factors related to Syria itself and its relations with regional and international players. This talk attempt to unpack the oft-cited complexity and clear the exaggerated fog that has been cast over most discussions and developments related to Syria, with current prospects in mind.
