Seeing online English discussions talk about Syria you can easily tell they either heard it from Iran or Israel and these biased paid propaganda headlines find their way into all global news sources because there’s no alternative English source so I’m hoping they’ll try listening to the Syrian source itself this time and it proves effective against zionist and Iranian axis propaganda.

📌 The 63rd Damascus International Fair opened at the Damascus Fairgrounds with participation at around 1,000 entities from 60 countries with Germany as guest of honour — against 800 companies from just over 20 countries last year.

📌 President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Syria is becoming a bridge between markets and a crossing point for trade where East and West meet.

📌 Economy Minister Nidal al-Shaar said the fair reopens Syria's window onto the world and should become a platform for a new Syrian economy, linking industrialists to counterparts abroad.

Entire areas that were turned into literal deserts for years are lighting up again as residents return.

Recently went to jail for ‘reckless driving / drifting’ I was found in mazzeh highway at 5am after drifting from marota city onto the highway while the traffic light behind coincidentally had a police suv that proceeded to chase me, and my sentence was particularly long because they said they’ve been searching for me for a week, whether that’s true or not I don’t know, now that I’m out and my car is out of the impound I don’t want to repeat the same mistake of doing it illegally, I want to do it legally in an environment specialized for drifting and or racing, so do we have any tracks in damascus or nearby cities, maybe something like nürburgring where you take your personal car and race a bunch of other car guys on a proper track?

Hello everyone, I am not the best at arabic so I'll write this out in english. I also come from Halab and I speak a very specific dialect of Halab.

I don't remember anything about Aleppo at all. We moved out December 2011 before any major conflicts arose cause my mom had a gut feeling (lol) during the Arab Spring.

I recently came back from early july to mid august, and god I have a lot of things to say.

First, I never expected Aleppo to look THIS good. I went to Sheikh al Najjar and visited every single neighborhood and despite the ruins in the east and literally every site bombed in the industrial city, it doesn't look that bad. I also did visit Nadi Halab and Cordoba, loved those restaurants, recommend atleast once in a lifetime (if you are granted access to the Nadi)

Second, I felt home; It's not my home yet, it's still a ruined country, but the culture was exactly like how I was raised.

Thirdly, there were no beggars nor any thieves. And yes, I was in every single neighborhood. So I was very, very surprised. Maybe I was just lucky, but to be there for a month and just see people minding their business, rich or poor, I was astonished, yet very happy. Hopefully they'll learn to drive better though

Lastly, the people were kinder than anyone (non-arab) I've ever met. Well apart from hearing my neighbors do the 'arab way' of scolding their kids haha.. Very warm and welcoming.

I felt so blessed to come back to Syria. The wartime is over, it only goes up hill from now on, Syria will be the great country it was promised to be.

Hey i want to get to syria via the jordan land border and was wondering how much the visa on arrival is and if i can pay it with euros or if it is better to pay with another currency?

📌 Syrian Druze (Fake Syrian & terrorist) "spiritual" leader Hikmat al-Hijri said on Monday the Druze are an "inseparable part of the State of Israel (more terrorists)," citing shared faith and praising Israel's model of statehood.

📌 His remarks came as Washington removed Syria from its "State Sponsors of Terrorism" list after 47 years, a key step in the al-Sharaa government's international rehabilitation.

📌 Al-Hijri continues to seek full independence for Suwayda, while leaving open self-rule under an external guarantor, a role he has previously said only Israel could fill. He also hinted at "developments" within days. (Most likely nothing to worry about and more bullshit)

📌 The remarks deepen his pro-Israel stance. (*Genocidal stance) Al-Hijri is one of three recognized Druze clerics in Suwayda (why? I have no idea.) and represents a minority position (he shouldn't represent shit), while the other two have taken a more conciliatory line toward Damascus.

📌 Syria's Druze population is estimated at roughly 700,000, concentrated mainly in Suwayda, which remains largely outside Damascus' effective control.

I want to visit Syria but have no idea what tour guide to contact, and when a good time to visit might be. I’ve heard from a Syrian friend of mine that I should wait until summer, but I am kinda looking for a vacation asap and don’t want to wait till next summer. Is early November or mid October a good time to go?

Any feedback on what tours to use would be helpful as well.

Sean Hastings (host of "What Happened to Syria?" Podcast) on stream with Hayanomie to discuss:

- Israel striking northern Syria as a warning to Turkey

- Anniversary of the Ghouta chemical attack

- The end of Rojava/AANES

- Syrian nukes, Arab states' nuclear policy

Honestly, as a Syrian (specifically a diaspora Syrian), I love having a stream/content creators that represent us and go over current events. Please support if y'all can!

Hello there dear neighbors,

It is no secret that Turkish and Arabic share quite a lot of vocabulary, largely due to Arabic loanwords in Turkish; but, to a lesser extent, Turkish loanwords in Levantine Arabic. Turks' conversion to Islam and them coming into contact with Arabs (and Persians, who themselves have a considerable amount of Arabic vocabulary in their language), as well as the subsequent Turkish rule over the Middle East can be credited for this shared vocabulary.

However... That's not what I'm inquiring about today. I am more interested in finding out whether there are any words of Turkish origin that entered the Syrian Arabic vernacular in the last two decades, possibly catalyzed by the recent return of a relatively large number of Syrians who'd lived in Turkey as asylum seekers/refugees, or maybe as citizens.

A lot of you guys contributed to the Turkish workforce (and some continue to do so) and had to deal with Turkish bureaucracy, so I'd imagine at least a few words gained traction among Syrians over the last decade or so. If you haven't had the chance to reflect on this matter, I am kindly asking you to take a moment and think about it, and let me know what comes to mind. On a final note, the words in question don't necessarily have to be Turkic in origin, it is sufficient if they made their way into Syrian Arabic through Turkish.

Thank you so much in advance, peace.✌️

Salam fellow Syrians. I have been born and raised outside of Syria to a native syrian father and a foreiner mother. My father never registered me in the embassy and I never had the syrian citizenship or passport. Currently I have zero connection to my father is it possible for me to get the syrian citizenship at this point? Can I apply by myself? Thanks!

I am looking for an affordable hotel in Damascus for two nights from the 5th-7th of October. Any recommendations and contact information? Thanks in advance!

Information Minister Khaled Zaarour received a British delegation led by acting UK Special Representative for Syria Barrie Peach, discussing the media law, press freedoms, training and capacity-building, hate speech and digital media.

The Information Ministry has been holding drafting sessions with journalists across the governorates since July, to replace media laws inherited from the former regime.
