Vor knapp sechs Monaten stürzte das Assad-Regime. Auch in Deutschland feierten viele aus Syrien geflüchtete Menschen das Ende der Diktatur. Und nun? Wollen sie zurückkehren? Oder bleiben sie in Deutschland, wo sie sich mittlerweile zu Hause fühlen? Sammann, Luise www.deutschlandfunk.de, Das Wochenendjournal

Newshour reports from Syria again, as the country tries to emerge from the ruin of civil war and dictatorship. Tim Franks has met a man whose job under Bashar al-Assad was to collect bodies from a military hospital: "the hardest part to see was how they were tortured". Also in the programme: Canadians elected Mark Carney to see off Donald Trump's ambition to annex Canada - today they met at the White House; and Germany has a new Chancellor, after a rocky start.

Zweihunderttausend Menschen soll das Assad-Regime die vergangenen Jahrzehnte gefoltert und getötet haben. Im Dezember haben Milizen die Regierung von Ex-Machthaber Baschar Al-Assad gestürzt. Nun befinden sich Land und Gesellschaft im Wiederaufbau. Die Strafver-folgung der Gräueltaten sei dabei zentral für Frieden, sagt der syrische Menschenrechtsan-walt Anwar Albuni. Wie und wo diese funktionieren könnte und weshalb dabei Koblenz eine Rolle spielt, beleuchtet diese Ausgabe des Radioreport Rechts. Nina Amin aus dem ARD-Studio Kairo schildert frische Eindrücke, wie es den Menschen in Syrien fünf Monate nach dem Machtwechsel geht.

How did a small offshoot of Al Qaeda overthrow a major country in the Middle East and establish a diplomatic dialogue with the United States? Dr. Aaron Zelin is one of the foremost experts on jihadist movements past and present. He joined Rep. Crenshaw to discuss the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and the rise of its vanquisher – the jihadist group known as Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Dr. Zelin analyzes the conditions that led to the shocking revolution in Syria, its geopolitical implications, and the “pragmatic” jihadism of HTS. A comprehensive overview of Sunni extremism, the complex motives of HTS leadership, and how it all fits on the global chessboard.   Dr. Aaron Zelin is the Gloria and Ken Levy Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, where he also directs the Islamic State Worldwide Activity Map project. He is the founder of jihadology.net, where you can find translations and analysis of jihadi source materials. Follow him on X at @azelin.

In a nation scarred by years of civil war, the rapid collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in December 2024 marked a pivotal turning point. The Islamist terrorist group, HTS - once linked to Al-Qaeda - led a swift eleven-day offensive that toppled the government seizing key cities, including Damascus.However, this power shift unleashed a wave of sectarian violence with reports indicating that over 1,000 people have been killed in recent clashes, predominantly from the Alawite minority. Christian communities, too, face heightened threats under the new liberated Syria, with incidents of violence and kidnapping causing widespread fear.As HTS consolidates its control, the nation teeters on the brink with international observers expressing deep concern over the escalating humanitarian crisis and the uncertain future of Syria. Independent journalist Collin Mayfield was in Lebanon with Hezbollah when he learned of the Assad regime's collapse. Collin grabbed his gear and crossed into Syria just as HTS seized control.Mr. Mayfield witnessed and recorded Syria during these initial chaotic days. He visited the Damascus Public Hospital and saw corpses with evidence of severe torture, presumably recovered from Sednaya Prison. He encountered survivors from Sednaya Prison at the Ibn Sina Psychiatric Hospital who were severely traumatized. And of course, he visited Sednaya Prison, notoriously known as the “human slaughterhouse,” where he encountered evidence of extensive torture, extreme abuse, and female birth control pills. Collin even documented the Far' Falastin Prison, notorious for sexual violence against women.Collin, thank you for taking the time to share your far-ranging Syrian experience, from Captagon drug factories to encounters with ISIS and HTS Militia at Assad's Presidential Palace. This interview is truly historic. Be sure to watch the video version on YouTube to see Collin's brutally stunning photographs.Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/Episode Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collin_mayfield/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@collin_mayfieldLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-mayfield-b4487a1b0To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

Wie bereits im Jahr 2022 und 2023 wurden im letzten Jahr erneut mehr schwere Gewaltstraftaten registriert. Dies geht aus der polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik 2024 des Bundes hervor. Fälle von schwerer Gewalt haben demnach um fast 20 Prozent zugenommen. Die Zahlen im Detail. Weitere Themen: Die Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner von Paris haben bei einer Bürgerbefragung mit klarer Mehrheit dafür gestimmt, dass in der Hauptstadt künftig rund 500 Strassen begrünt und für Autos gesperrt werden sollen. Allerdings war die Wahlbeteiligung mit vier Prozent ausgesprochen tief. Wie erklärt sich das? Gut drei Monate ist es her, dass das Assad-Regime in Syrien von islamistischen Rebellen aus dem Norden gestürzt wurde. Vor der Machtübernahme regierten sie die Provinz Idlib, nahe an der türkischen Grenze. Ein Augenschein vor Ort zeigt: Hier prallen Welten aufeinander.

Gut drei Monate ist es her, dass das Assad-Regime in Syrien gestürzt wurde, nach mehr als 50 Jahren Diktatur und 13 Jahren Krieg. Nun wünscht sich die syrische Zivilgesellschaft Freiheit und Demokratie. Doch was die neuen Herrscher wollen, ist ungewiss. «Wir sind wie Blinde, die einen noch unbekannten Raum ertasten müssen»: So schildert die politische Aktivistin Malak Shanawani die Situation, in der sich die syrische Zivilgesellschaft derzeit befindet. Lange Jahre hätten sie auf Veränderungen in ferner Zukunft hingearbeitet, und nun seien diese Veränderungen plötzlich Wirklichkeit, sagt Shanawani. Das ist herausfordernd: «Es gibt jetzt Millionen Dinge zu besprechen. Wo sollen wir nur anfangen?» Unter der Diktatur des Assad-Clans war politisches Engagement so gut wie unmöglich. Jetzt ist Syrien von der Last des alten Regimes befreit, und politisch interessierte Syrerinnen und Syrer beginnen, ihre Freiheiten zu erkunden. Doch wie frei ist das neue Syrien? Und welche Vision haben die neuen Machthaber unter Interimspräsident Ahmad al-Sharaa für das Land? «International» unternimmt eine Reise durch ein Land im Wandel.

Editors Jimmy Lovaas and Agnese Boffano discuss the recent fighting in western Syria that left more than 1,000 people killed, plus more on a U.S. airline resuming flights to Tel Aviv, mining permits in Mali, a court hearing over the White House ban on the Associated Press and Chinese tariffs on Canada..Subscribe to the show: Apple Podcasts, Spotify and many more. These stories and others are also available in our free weekly Forecast newsletter.This episode includes work from Factal editors Agnese Boffano, David Wyllie, Jess Fino, Jeff Landset and Hua Hsieh.

SYRIA: ASSAD REGIME LOYALISTS AND CIVIL WAR. BILL ROGGIO, AHMAD SHARAWI, FDD 1898 DAMASCUS

Visit us at Network2020.org.The fall of the Assad Regime marks a significant shift in the Middle East, disrupting the balance of power and creating new opportunities for regional influence. Türkiye, which supported the rebels prior to Assad's ouster and hosts millions of Syrian refugees, now sees an opening to achieve aims ranging from security to economic. What are President Erdogan's objectives in navigating the complexities of a post-Assad Middle East? In this episode, we unpack how Assad's ouster has impacted Türkiye's regional ambitions and its role in the Middle East, and explore Türkiye's evolving foreign policy in the region and its impact domestically and with countries like the U.S. and Russia.Music by Sergii Pavkin from Pixabay 

Für den Iran könnte dieses Jahr ein schwieriges werden, sagt der deutsch-iranische Politologe Ali Fathollah-Nejad. Das Land befinde sich in einem Zustand historischer Schwäche. Was heisst das für das Regime, die Bevölkerung und die Region? Ali-Fathollah-Nejad ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch. Das vergangene Jahr war für den Iran einschneidend: Die verbündeten Milizen, die Hisbollah im Libanon und die Hamas in Gaza, erlitten schwere Verluste. Das verbündete Assad Regime in Syrien wurde regelrecht weggefegt. Die sogenannte «Achse des Widerstands», der Verteidigungsring rund um Iran, bröckelt. Dazu kommen innenpolitische Krisen. Grosse Teile der Bevölkerung leben in Armut, die krasse Geschlechterungleichheit führt zu Missmut. Fathollah-Nejad sieht den Staat und die Gesellschaft auf Kollisionskurs. Das Regime steht unter Druck, auch von aussen: US-Präsident Trump spricht davon, maximalen Druck auf Iran auszuüben. Ali Fathollah-Nejad leitet das Center for Middle East and Global Order. Er veröffentlichte kürzlich das Buch «Iran: Wie der Westen seine Werte und Interessen verrät».

Die erste Euphorie ist verflogen nach dem Sturz von Assad. Jetzt geht es darum, eine langfristige Perspektive für Syrien zu eröffnen. Syrien hat eine Übergangsregierung, der neue Machthaber Ahmed al-Scharaa versucht moderat aufzutreten, ist aber bisher ein Dschihadist gewesen. Jetzt hat er die islamistische Kämpferkluft gegen westliche Anzüge getauscht und sagt: „Wir können Syrien nicht aufbauen, wenn die Gesellschaft nicht geeint ist.“ Ob die Islamisten eine offene Gesellschaft schaffen können, das fragen sich sowohl die Syrer im In- und Ausland als auch die internationale Gemeinschaft. Noch gelten Sanktionen, es gibt keine funktionierende Infrastruktur, kaum Strom und Nahrungsmittel, die Wirtschaft und die Gesundheitsversorgung liegen am Boden. Wie geht es jetzt weiter? Darüber sprechen wir mit der Syrien-Expertin Dr. Regine Schwab, mit unserem Korrespondenten in Istanbul Uwe Lueb, mit dem in Deutschland lebenden syrischen Journalisten Abdulah Al Samman und mit Oliver Hochedez von der Malteser Nothilfe. Podcast-Tipp: Weltspiegel-Podcast Syrien: Wie gelingt die Aufarbeitung der Verbrechen? Folter, Hinrichtungen, Giftgas gegen das eigene Volk. Die Liste der Verbrechen ist lang, nicht nur vom Assad-Regime, sondern auch von verschiedenen Milizen-Gruppen. Nach dem Umsturz ist die Hoffnung groß, die Täter zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Welche juristischen Möglichkeiten gibt es, die Menschenrechtsverbrechen aufzuklären? Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Weltspiegel Podcast Folge. ARD-Reporterin Kristin Becker und Ramin Sina, ARD-Korrespondent im Studio Kairo, berichten von ihren Eindrücken vom Foltergefängnis Saidnaja und von den Menschen, die selbst dort gefoltert wurden und nun zurückgekehrt sind. Und Patrick Kroker, Rechtsanwalt beim European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, erklärt, wie ein mögliches Sondertribunal aussehen könnte. *** Triggerwarnung: Diese Folge enthält Beschreibungen von Folter *** https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/weltspiegel-podcast/syrien-wie-gelingt-die-aufarbeitung-der-verbrechen/ard/14134087/

The fall of Syria's leader in December opened the doors to a vast network of detention centers and prisons across the country, uncovering further evidence of the true scale of killings under former president Bashar al-Assad. On this episode of The Sunday Story, NPR's Ruth Sherlock takes us to a notorious prison where thousands were detained and killed, and she visits a suspected mass gravesite outside Damascus. She meets former prisoners and those forced to play a role in what has been called the regime's "machinery of death."Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Over the last two years, intelligence organizations and analysts failed to anticipate critical events in the Middle East that would roil the region. The sudden collapse of the Assad regime and the opening of a new chapter in Syria's conflict-ridden story is the latest in a fraught period that has seen an of escalation of tensions in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. What explains the Assad regime's sudden demise and the ascendance of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other Sunni Islamist organizations? What do these events portend for Syria's governance and the policies of Iran, Russia, Turkey, and Israel in the region? And what would be the best policy on Syria for the incoming U.S. administration?  Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with Sanam Vakil, director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House, and Charles Lister, senior fellow and the director of the Syria and Countering Terrorism & Extremism programs at the Middle East Institute, to explore these and other issues.
