What would you do to protect your freedom? Would you risk your reputation? Undergo interrogation, detainment, and abuse? Would you continue even when your friends and colleagues started going missing? Continue despite the threats? Would you leave everything behind, leave the only home you've ever known, before silencing yourself? In We Are Syrians, Naila Al-Atrash, Radwan Ziadeh, and Sana Mustafa share their harrowing accounts about working to protect freedom of expression under an authoritarian government. While these are individual stories of courage and defiance, together they tell the larger story of the Syrian conflict and the conditions that brought about the worst humanitarian crisis in recent history.

LONG-LISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL Reminiscent of the work of Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich, an astonishing collection of intimate wartime testimonies and poetic fragments from a cross-section of Syrians whose lives have been transformed by revolution, war, and flight. Against the backdrop of the wave of demonstrations known as the Arab Spring, in 2011 hundreds of thousands of Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom, democracy and human rights. The government’s ferocious response, and the refusal of the demonstrators to back down, sparked a brutal civil war that over the past five years has escalated into the worst humanitarian catastrophe of our times. Yet despite all the reporting, the video, and the wrenching photography, the stories of ordinary Syrians remain unheard, while the stories told about them have been distorted by broad brush dread and political expediency. This fierce and poignant collection changes that. Based on interviews with hundreds of displaced Syrians conducted over four years across the Middle East and Europe, We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled is a breathtaking mosaic of first-hand testimonials from the frontlines. Some of the testimonies are several pages long, eloquent narratives that could stand alone as short stories; others are only a few sentences, poetic and aphoristic. Together, they cohere into an unforgettable chronicle that is not only a testament to the power of storytelling but to the strength of those who face darkness with hope, courage, and moral conviction.

This book aims to tell the stories and struggles of and many wrong-known truths about more than 23.000 Syrian Refugees who started to live in Turkey as of year 2011 through the works and studies of a project group and a project leader who touched their lives between 2016-2020. Our project that we started with a dream of the project designer has finally come true. To make the world a better, more habitable place is in our hands. We have realized 3 million Syrians and 3 million trees project with the ideal and conscious to live like a forest all together in peace and Qualified Employment Project with the financing support of GİZ, the German Society for International Cooperation. In this project with the aim to make economic contribution to our Syrian guests and to make them take part in active business life, 3.800 Syrian people and 1.260 Turkish people have participated in sapling planting and vocational training. It was the primary goal of our project to plant one tree for each of 3.700.000 million Syrians who have migrated to Turkey, namely for each tree which was chopped down, and to establish emotional bond between the citizens on this country and to contribute to Green Europe Project. Another goal of our project is to contribute to sustainable employment. Within the scope of project works, we performed many field studies in different areas. In all academic studies carried out up until today, human subjects were selected generally from refugee camps and those studies remained as periodical studies. 2.560 human subjects selected for this study have been selected from among Syrians trying to live in Gaziantep and Istanbul and working within the scope of the project; this is a unique study in its field in terms of participants, same questions were asked in different periods of time within 4 years and relevant changes were observed. This study not only includes the evaluations of the Syrian beneficiaries but also reflects the views of our 1.260 citizens from Gaziantep and Kilis provinces about Syrian Refugees. We hope that our studies will contribute to ones who carries out studies about refugees and to NGOs which develop projects for them. Our study begins with an introduction which includes an overall assessment of Syrian Refugees. We have included some stories from the field between chapters. Some of them gives many information in brief and with full of emotion about the matters that we wish to tell and try to write reams of writings. Second chapter contains a determination of state and fourth chapter contains the evaluation of problems that we determined as a result of field studies in which the same questions were asked to different Syrians within 3 years. Sixth chapter explains “Wrong-Known Truths” evolved from individual judgment to social judgment within 10 years. Knowing the truth by every segment of the society of those wrongs mostly used in social conflicts will be the most realistic common ground de-conflict environment. Seventh chapter contains the contents need to be known about “3 Million Syrians –3 Million Trees” Project. Other chapters contain the outcomes of Istanbul Survey, Gaziantep-2018 (Syrian Beneficiaries) and Gaziantep-2019 Field Studies and “Our Citizens’ Perception of Syrian Refugees”. Sixteenth chapter contains the field studies carried out within the scope of Qualified Employment Project-2020. Last chapter of the book contains a return project. In all sections of the book, we explained the current conditions evenhandedly and in a way to cover all the relevant parties. The results of our survey study in which we have measured the perceptions of our citizens about Syrian refugees indicated the necessity of a vision regarding the repatriation. Large segment of the society expects the repatriation of the Syrian refugees. In our survey, only 8,6% of the participants believe that all the Syrians will return to their countries after the end of civil war in Syria and 43,1% believe that none of them will return. If they stay in Turkey, most of the participants, approximately 81,6%, object to conferring Turkish citizenship to Syrian refugees. Project outputs develop solutions not only for repatriation but also for many problems identified in problems section. “Swallows are refugee/migratory birds. They fly very fast. During the migration, hundreds of swallows are caught by the storm and die. While the swallows which healthily complete the migration process fly through the warm sky, they remember their deceased friends and scream with pain and anger. Syrians are not half as swallows. They cannot grieve for their lost lives in order not to disturb other people.” (Ahmet Ümit, Swallow Scream, p. 289-290)

From a Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist specializing in the Middle East, this groundbreaking account of the Syrian Civil War reveals the never-before-published true story of a 21st-century humanitarian disaster. In spring 2011, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad turned to his friend and army commander, Manaf Tlass, for advice about how to respond to Arab Spring-inspired protests. Tlass pushed for conciliation but Assad decided to crush the uprising -- an act which would catapult the country into an eight-year long war, killing almost half a million and fueling terrorism and a global refugee crisis. Assad or We Burn the Country examines Syria's tragedy through the generational saga of the Assad and Tlass families, once deeply intertwined and now estranged in Bashar's bloody quest to preserve his father's inheritance. By drawing on his own reporting experience in Damascus and exclusive interviews with Tlass, Dagher takes readers within palace walls to reveal the family behind the destruction of a country and the chaos of an entire region. Dagher shows how one of the world's most vicious police states came to be and explains how a regional conflict extended globally, engulfing the Middle East and pitting the United States and Russia against one another. Timely, propulsive, and expertly reported, Assad or We Burn the Country is the definitive account of this global crisis, going far beyond the news story that has dominated headlines for years.

"The dispossession and forced migration of nearly 50 per cent of Syria's population has produced the greatest refugee crisis since World War II. This new book places the current displacement within the context of the widespread migrations that have indelibly marked the region throughout the last 150 years. Syria itself has harbored millions from its neighboring lands, and Syrian society has been shaped by these diasporas. Dawn Chatty explores how modern Syria came to be a refuge state, focusing first on the major forced migrations into Syria of Circassians, Armenians, Kurds, Palestinians, and Iraqis. Drawing heavily on individual narratives and stories of integration, adaptation, and compromise, she shows that a local cosmopolitanism came to be seen as intrinsic to Syrian society. She examines the current outflow of people from Syria to neighboring states as individuals and families seek survival with dignity, arguing that though the future remains uncertain, the resilience and strength of Syrian society both displaced internally within Syria and externally across borders bodes well for successful return and reintegration. If there is any hope to be found in the Syrian civil war, it is in this history." -- Publisher's description

Syria as we knew it does not exist anymore. However, all conflicts change countries and their societies. Such an obvious statement needs to be unpacked in specific relation to Syria. What has happened, what does it mean, and what comes next? In order to consider the future of Syria, it is crucial to assess not only what has been destroyed, but also how it was destroyed. It is equally vital to address the structural and possibly enduring results of large-scale destruction and displacement. These dynamics are not only at play in Syrian society, but are tearing at the economic fabric and very territorial integrity of the country. If war is a powerful process of human and material destruction, it is equally a powerful process of spatial, social and economic reconfiguration. Nor does it stop at national borders—the unravelling of Syria, and of the idea of Syria, has affected and will continue to affect the entire Middle East. War-Torn explores these transformations and the processes that fuel them. It is an indispensable account throwing light on neglected aspects of the Syrian war, and a much-needed contribution to our understanding of conflicts in the twenty-first century.

Beloved Syria ¿ Considering Syrian Perspectives (Second Edition) presents both the voices of Syrians as well as those of Australians who have had respectful contact with Syria. There is particular focus on art, music, cinema, sport, cuisine, travel and renewal. Beloved Syria avoids contentious political issues; instead, it aims to reveal aspects of Syria that help explain the deep attachment Syrians have for `country¿ and for a Syrian identity. The love Syrians express for country might astonish many Australians who know Syria mostly through television images that present war and destruction. Beloved Syria aims to explore this love, which is clearly not an expression of an aggressive patriotism. Syria is located within a cradle of civilization. Syrians¿ attachment to country may party be explained by Syria's history and the physical reminders of it. Damascus and Aleppo, the two oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, are in Syria. Loving faiths could also help explain the inclusive nature of the attachment Syrians have toward their country. Since their country links continents, `Syrians¿ have borne occupations and wars for millennia, so there could be stories of heroism, treachery and grief embedded in their DNA. Many of us would have distant ancestors that passed through the land we now call Syria. Beloved Syria provides an opportunity for readers to connect to this land, its history and its resilient people. The magazine aims to simulate conversations. For example, what can lead people from diverse faith and ethnic backgrounds to feel a sense of unity, one that is charitable? What positive lessons can multi-cultural Australians glean from their story? The Beloved Syria team includes Syrians in Australia on humanitarian visas, an Iranian graphic designer on a humanitarian visa, a Korean web administrator, and non-Syrian Australians. What originally connected us was AMES Australia, a meeting place for many cultures as it provides English classes and settlement support programs to refugees and asylum seekers. The Second Edition of Beloved Syria is free. A successful crowd funding campaign has made its publication possible. Most of those working on the magazine are volunteers. We welcome both donations and sponsor requests.

Can we stop the bleeding in Syria without its becoming another Iraq? The United States is on the brink of intervention in Syria, but the effect of any eventual American action is impossible to predict. The Syrian conflict has killed more than 100,000 people and displaced millions, yet most observers warn that the worst is still to come. And the international community cannot agree how respond to this humanitarian catastrophe. World leaders have repeatedly resolved not to let atrocities happen in plain view, but the legacy of the bloody and costly intervention in Iraq has left policymakers with little appetite for more military operations. So we find ourselves in the grip of a double burden: the urge to stop the bleeding in Syria, and the fear that attempting to do so would be Iraq redux. What should be done about the apparently intractable Syrian conflict? This book focuses on the ethical and political dilemmas at the heart of the debate about Syria and the possibility of humanitarian intervention in today's world. The contributors—Syria experts, international relations theorists, human rights activists, and scholars of humanitarian intervention—don't always agree, but together they represent the best political thinking on the issue. The Syria Dilemma includes original pieces from Michael Ignatieff, Mary Kaldor, Radwan Ziadeh, Thomas Pierret, Afra Jalabi, and others.
