بسقوط الأسد، أُدمج السلفيون في المؤسسة الدينية الرسمية، وصعد نشاط التيارات السلفية في المجال العام ونقدها بعض سياسات الدولة. يتتبع عبد الرحمن الحاج مسار السلفية السورية بين الاحتواء والتوتر، وحدود حضورها في المجتمع.

À Strasbourg, hier, la police a tabassé deux manifestants déjà blessés et les street medics qui les soignaient.
Le monde entier doit voir ce que la police française fait à son peuple.

Sur CNEWS Éric Zemmour n’a eu de cesse d’attiser la haine raciste contre la ville de Trappes et ses habitants.
Voilà le résultat.

J'en ai marre des explications simplistes de pourquoi ça casse en manif.
Depuis 13 ans, j'habite avec vue sur les cortèges, en plus d'en faire régulièrement, et je peux décrire exactement ce qu'il se passe à chaque fois. ⬇️

ظهور نادر للرئيس نور الدين الأتاسي وهو يخطب في دمشق بعد حريق المسجد الأقصى في آب 1969
يظهر الرئيس السوري نور الدين الأتاسي في هذا المقطع وهو يتوجه إلى الجماهير بخطاب حماسي يعدهم فيه "بتحرير كل شبر من الأرض المحتلة الطاهرة"، ويعلن أن "هذه المسيرة ستتحول إلى مسيرة مسلحة، مسيرة للتحرير والعودة".
كان الأتاسي يخطب في مسيرة خرجت في دمشق في شهر آب عام 1969 تنديداً بحرق المسجد الأقصى في القدس المحتلة، مردداً اللازمة التي عُرف بها وكان يفتتح بها كلامه: "يا جماهير شعبنا".
يذكر أن الأتاسي كان رئيساً للدولة ورئيساً للوزراء وأميناً عاماً لحزب البعث العربي الاشتراكي.

Formidable photo du reporter palestinien Jehad Alshrafi censurée au festival d'images du sport à Deauville.
La montrer partout est un acte de resistance, contre la censure, contre la tentative d’effacer la realite du genocide de Gaza.
Et pourquoi pas, un acte de resistance pour le sport et le Foot aussi! Le beau, le vrai, celui qui repose sur des valeurs fondamentales du Respect, de la Tolerance, de la Solidarite, de l’Engagement de soi.

Sharaa is smart enough to know that invading Lebanon is a bad idea without getting advice from Erdogan. He's using Turkey as an excuse.

Just recorded a really interesting conversation for the first episode of PRISM Podcast on Syria’s economic recovery, reconstruction, energy politics, refugee returns, and evolving EU–Syria relations.
🎧 The Future of Syria: Economic Recovery and EU–Syria Relations
Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/7HS…
We discussed everything from electricity shortages and banking constraints to reconstruction risks, Gulf investment, the northeast’s political economy, refugee returns, and the challenge of turning political normalization into actual economic recovery people can feel in their daily lives.
A big thank you to Umutcan Yüksel of the European University Institute (EUI) for the invitation and discussion.
We also touched on some themes I’ve been working on recently regarding the gap between macro-level stabilization and the lived economic reality of ordinary Syrians, the risks of uneven recovery, and why implementation (not announcements) will ultimately determine whether Syria’s recovery is real.
