Description

Syria has seen new social media platforms, student movements and cultural collectives emerge as spaces for debate and reform. Political conversations once whispered in private are now openly discussed. These changes mark a rare opening in public life after years of repression. But questions persist over whether such freedoms can withstand entrenched power structures. New political pressures are also casting uncertainty over the future of these forums. A year after the fall of the Assad regime, the landscape remains fluid and fragile. Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid reports from Aleppo on how different regions are navigating this transition.
