Syria’s soaring electricity prices are deepening daily hardship and exposing how the government’s economic strategy is failing the masses, writes Joseph Daher.

Despite a ceasefire between al-Sharaa's government & SDF, the president is not providing enough assurances that Syrian Kurds are protected, argues Joseph Daher.

Syria’s post-Assad leadership is failing its people, igniting protests over poverty & inequality. Joseph Daher reflects on a year under Ahmed al-Sharaa.

Al-Sharaa’s meeting with Trump isn’t diplomacy — it’s a transaction that boosts US power & tightens his grip, with Syrians left behind, writes Joseph Daher.

As al-Sharaa leads Syria further towards normalisation with Israel, Joseph Daher argues that alignment with the US & its allies won’t bring lasting stability.

Sharaa’s gamble on centralising Syria by force rather than democratic consensus building gets a deadly reality check in Suweida, writes Joseph Daher.

A month after sectarian violence erupted on Syria's coast, the Syrian state has yet to recognise the importance of transitional justice, says Joseph Daher.

Israel has a vested interest in keeping Syria weak and fragmented, especially now that the people can openly show support for Palestine, says Joseph Daher.

Joseph Daher argues that progressives must build a pluralistic Syria that recognises the freedoms of Kurds.

After Assad, any alternative economic plan that will benefit all Syrians is likely to come from a progressive & organised base, not HTS, argues Joseph Daher.
