What Kind of Support Do Syrians Want?

Dato 25. September 2015
Tid 17:00–18:30
Sted Litteraturhuset Wergelandsveien 29, Oslo

The picture in Syria today looks increasingly gloomy, especially for those watching from afar. What was widely recognized as an uprising for shared humanitarian values, is no longer seen as such. As the situation became intractably complicated, faulty generalizations and simplifications emerged, and the gloomy picture was, consequently, obscured. Nonetheless, many Syrians still believe in the revolution and ask for support from their counterparts around the world.

How would we define the situation in Syria today? Are there still any revolutionary characteristics in the middle of the ongoing war and all regional and international interventions? Did the revolution manage to change something in the society? Can we talk about positive change when we are faced with the destruction we see in Syria today on all levels? What kind of support do Syrians living inside Syria, in refugee camps and in exile, want?

The panel is moderated by Ziad Majed.
