The Syrians between the Cup of Tyranny and the Poisons of Terrorism

Zuheir Kseibati - al-Hayat April 12, 2013

It is no simple matter either for Moaz al-Khatib to sit at the summit, in front of the revolution’s flag rather than the flag of the Syrian Arab republic, which we have known for decades. Likewise, it is no simple matter that none of the leaders of the delegation left the hall this time.

Let Genie out of the Bottle!

Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed -- Asharq al-Awsat January 28, 2013

The US failure to intervene in Syria has ruined everything that has been achieved—with great difficulty—in the war on extremist ideology and terrorist groups

How will al-Assad leave?

Tariq Alhomayed -- Asharq al-Awsat January 24, 2013

Assad’s ouster is inevitable, but how will it be achieved? What price will be paid by Syria and the entire region? This is the fundamental question and the crux of the matter.

Syria: The Forest and the Trees

Hazem Saghieh - al-Hayat January 9, 2013

Because Syria is a country of paramount importance, the issue there is not just about toppling the regime, while retaining the same inherited and historical structure, including the ideology, of the regime itself.
