Worker's Day should remind us of the exploitation embedded in the economy we are part of. Migrant workers, under the Kafala system, suffer severe abuse. It's a chance for those in middle-class comfort to confront our connection to this exploitative system.

Syrians in Lebanon are workers also and the economy depends on them. Locking Syrians in their houses means stopping many businesses. The solution starts with listening to the Syrians and to those who depend on them.

The scale of the drug crisis in Syria is invisible to outsiders and absent from the local media and public debates. For Syrians inside the country, they know the scale and the problem very well because their homes and families are threatened by it. 👇🏽

يتزايد خطاب الكراهية الافتراضي وتنتشر أوراق الكراهية التهديدية المطالبة برحيل السوريين في بعض الأحياء. لكن العلاقة التضامنية بين السوريين واللبنانيين تتزايد أيضاً.

The spread of drug use is the result of a mental health crisis in Syria and Lebanon. Policing and border control alone do not work. Affected youth in both countries are shouting for help even when they are silent. Help is urgently needed. 👇🏽

كان الخوف هو الإحساس المسيطر من حولنا خلال الأيام الماضية، شعور أصبح مألوفاً في منطقة تعاني من أزمات متتالية. الناس تتأقلم، لكن الألم يتراكم. في سوريا وما حولها. تتفاقم أزمة صحة نفسية بفعل انتشار الإدمان على المخدرات. نشرح عن هذه الظاهرة في مقالنا هذا. synaps.network/post/syrian-dr…
Drug addiction is becoming common in Syria, and the community is not prepared to deal with this new phenomenon. Drugs in Syria are often discussed in the analysis of the war economy. However, drugs are also destroying the lives of many youths and families in Syria and the region.

In any hierarchical company/job structure, many of the people at the top, or closest to it, did not get there through merit, but through deference to authority. If you are meritorious, the people at the top while try to shape you into someone who is more deferent to authority.
@Linaagho I only mention Lebanese because it's what I am familiar with, and I say it referring to people who live in Lebanon. The Gulf is probably the most egregious case, and guess where many people from Lebanon have ended up amidst the economic crisis...
Shame on the EU Shame on Cyprus Shame on Lebanon Lebanese authorities have mismanaged the economy - including billions of dollars from donor countries, scapegoated, deported and used Syrians as a bargaining chip to get more €€. Now they are being rewarded for it by the EU
European Commission chief says EU will be providing 1 billion Euros through 2027 - aid package for socioeconomic support & support for Lebanese army & security forces - "we count on your cooperation to combat migrant smuggling" #Lebanon
Lebanon hosts far more than its fair share of Syrian refugees. Yet its economy massively depends on cheap Syrian workers, employed informally to maximize short-term benefits to society. A better policy on refugees also implies acknowledging that pivotal economic role.
🚨Lebanese authorities have detained, tortured, & deported Syrians to Syria in recent months, including opposition activists & army defectors. Others are fighting to remain, despite deportation orders & an increasingly hostile environment. New from @hrw hrw.org/news/2024/04/2…
So many people, organizations, etc rallied around Jamal Khashoggi’a c when he was killed by Saudi Arabia. Promises to defend Arab journalists and freedom of expression in the Middle East. Now so many of these some entities are silent as journalists in Gaza face slaughter.
We're seeing both the best and worst of US college campuses. On one side, students mobilizing in opposition to an extraordinarily dark chapter in US foreign policy. On the other, elite institutions submitting to mass hysteria and financial self-interest

The students are giving us a lesson in what solidarity-based organizing looks like. Support them. And listen to their demands. As they protest, airstrikes continue. Mass graves are found. People starve. #CeasefireNow. #Accountability. #Reparations.
This year, Lebanon’s state budget decidedly makes things worse for the most vulnerable. It does just accept inequalities; it deepens them. Lebanon would need the exact opposite to start tackling its multiple crises. 🧵 institutdesfinances.gov.lb/publication/ci…
It is a wild to come from reading about mass graves and then see grown men on here claiming it’s actually the students singing, clapping and camping that are making all of us unsafe. #CeasefireNow.
You know, this morning, instead of focusing on how cowardly leaders sitting in privileged + powerful positions at elite institutions have been, I'm going to focus on how impressive others, particularly students, have been. Hats off. Learning from you.
You don't call the police on a university campus to crack down on students, period. A university administration who does that has totally lost sight of what kind of institution a university is, and is participating in the destruction of the university as an institution.
Minouche Shafik just announced her decision to request NYPD to clear out the pro-Palestine student encampment
Thread 🧵
Conversations about drugs in Syria and globally have always revolved around men. Men make, trade, use, and control drugs through security measures. While this is largely true, women also play a crucial role in this story. They are affected by it in different and extreme ways. 🧵
يتحدث هذا المقال عن انتشار إدمان المخدرات "كالنار في الهشيم" في قطاعات واسعة من المجتمع السوري. لقد عانت بعض المجتمعات بطبيعة الحال أكثر من غيرها. ومن بين الأكثر تضرراً المقاتلين السابقين في سوريا أليكس سايمون @AlexGSimon synaps.network/post/syrian-dr…
In Lebanon too, drugs are a concern. A friend from a modest Beirut neighborhood sent her teenage son to her sister-in-law, who lives far from the capital, because drug dealing has boomed in her area. It's easy money for youth with scarce prospects, and it gives them status too.
Syria's drug crisis is in fact many crises rolled into one. Most obviously, it is a crisis of mental health. Few in Syria have been spared the trauma of war, or received any form of justice for the wrongs they suffered. 🧵 synaps.network/post/syrian-dr…

Given our recent work on the mental health crisis in Syria, combined with the distress we can all feel in and around Gaza, I wanted to share some very practical observations on the psychological effects of conflict, through the lens of "trauma". 🧵
