About this event:
Bashar al-Assad has been overthrown. The surprise offensive of the rebel groups, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and the Syrian National Army (SNA), in the end met little resistance, sparking a broader uprising that brought down the regime. A new chapter in the Syrian crisis has opened with enormous regional and global implications. A regime that committed mass slaughter to cling to power is no more.
The LSE Syria team, based at LSE IDEAS/Conflict and Civicness Research Group, have been researching the conflict at every stage of its development as part of their work for PeaceRep (the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform). Through the Mapping Syria project, they run local teams of researchers that feed real-time data on conditions on the ground.
This rapid response webinar will draw on this experience and local research network to analyse this extraordinary moment of change for Syria and its people. The briefing will address:
- Who are the forces/factors behind this offensive?
- How do they interface with international actors?
- How will it shape international and regional dynamics?
- What are the risks and scenarios going forward?
- What are the potential pathways for peace and justice based outcomes?
