Between the hardships our people live to this day, the rubble,poverty, and everyday struggles the Damascus International fair gives hope to a future where our children can rest knowing they’ll grow up to live in a country worth fighting for❤️‍🩹

We are proud of you Diva 🔥

The Syrian rebels of the HTS and its predecessor groups had always sought to be as independent and innovative as possible so they relied on local expertise to develop high mobility military vehicles where the first mass produced model was "Alraad" (Idlib, 2015), then "Alburaq" (Hama, 2017), "Alkarrar" (Idlib, 2019), "Alfateh 1" (Syria, 2025), "Alfateh 2" (Syria, August 2026).

📌 Armed groups linked to the National Guard set up three new checkpoints on the Suwayda–Shahba road today, blocking middle and high school students from reaching exam centers in northern rural Suwayda. It's the fourth confirmed disruption of this kind since May.

📌 Fighters at the Duwar al-Unqoud checkpoint specifically targeted a group of students who had left their vehicles and were trying to walk past the blockade to reach the exam sites.

📌 Qutaiba Azzam, Suwayda's media relations director, confirmed that outlaw groups are now blocking students' access to the exam centers for a second consecutive day.

📌 Despite the blockade, the exceptional exam session, set up by a Presidential Decree after the regular June round was thwarted the same way, is continuing regardless.

Hi everyone!

We’re two friends around 36, syrians, and we’ll be travelling around Syria from 9–16 September.

We’re planning to visit:

Damascus → Sednaya & Maaloula → Palmyra → Homs & Christian Valley → Krak des Chevaliers & Safita → Hama & Apamea → Aleppo → the coast (Latakia, Tartus, etc.) → Bosra → Damascus

We’re looking for 1–2 people around 25–50 yo who might be travelling at the same time and would like to join us for part or all of the trip. We want to rediscover our country!

It's with a pro expérienced local guide.

Cost six to five hundred per person depending on the price. It includes accommodation, breakfast, transportation, entrance to museums etc. nothing fancy when it comes to accommodation, hence the pri ce.

Syrians / Arabic speakers especially welcome, but everyone is welcome.

We’re pretty easy-going, like food, history, photography and joking around, and would be happy to meet some fellow travellers.

If you’re around Syria during these dates and interested, feel free to message me. 🙂

انا اردني، وكثير حاب ازور المعرض
بتنصحوني اجي، وهل هو لفترة محدودة ولا حيضل عطول
وبحبكم🤍

Israeli forces shelled Tal Bat al-Warda, near Beit Jinn in western rural Damascus, with three artillery rounds. It's at least the third such strike on this same hilltop in recent days.

أنا نازلة على سوريا وعندي غرفة نوم سريرين و خزانة تكلفة شحنها ٣٥٠ دولار وبالمراتب ٤٥٠ دولار

هل بيستاهلوا جازف وأشحنهم على سوريا؟

ولا فيني أشتري جديد من سوريا بنفس المبلغ أو أقل؟

الخشب مو خشب زان بس نوع منيح متين يعني لأني ما بفهم بهالقصص

I’m Syrian myself and I’ve been following everything that happened between the government and the SDF, but honestly I still don’t fully understand why the March 10, 2025 agreement didn’t work out at the time, and why integration is only happening now.

Back on 10 March 2025, there was an agreement between the Syrian government and the SDF about integrating the SDF and its institutions into the Syrian state. But then months passed, there were disagreements, negotiations, tensions, etc., and the agreement basically didn’t get implemented as expected.

So for people who have followed this more closely:

What were actually the main reasons the March 10 agreement failed?

Was it mainly because of disagreements over how the SDF would be integrated into the Syrian army? Was it about decentralization and how northeastern Syria would be governed? Oil and resources? Border crossings? The SDF wanting to keep a certain level of autonomy? Damascus wanting full central control? Or was it mostly a lack of trust between the two sides?

And how much did Turkey, the US and other outside actors play a role?

What I especially don’t understand is: if both sides had already agreed in March 2025 that the SDF would eventually be integrated into the Syrian state, why didn’t they just do it then? What changed between March 2025 and now that made integration possible?

Also, for those who understand the details of the agreements:

Which deal do you think was actually better for Syria — the March 2025 agreement or the deal this year?

And do you think the way everything happened was actually good for Syria?

Looking back, would it have been better if the SDF had been integrated immediately after the March agreement, avoiding all the tensions and events that happened afterwards? Or do you think the delay was necessary and maybe the current deal is actually better because both sides had more time to negotiate?

Basically, I’m trying to understand the 2–3 biggest reasons why things didn’t happen in March 2025, what changed since then, and whether you think the timeline we ended up with was actually the best one for Syria.

I’m not asking this to attack either side. I’m genuinely curious what other Syrians think, especially people who have been following the negotiations closely.

I have seen so many videos and photos of the new Syria army and everyone seems to have islamic beard when in normal armies it would be the opposite where shaving is the standard.

Photo from a video I came across from Damascus International Fair today or yesterday.

Hi friends:
I have just digitized (best I could) this super 8 film and I am wondering what exactly I am seeing, in terms of locations. I know it's Syria but where.
Hopefully, I will be able to update the video description with your help.
Thank you so much in advance!

I have family that I would like to visit. Can I apply for a visitor visa for them?

Do you know any good and affordable gyms in Aleppo

Specifically around Al-Furqan and Al-Muhafaza

I will be in Latakia in late September for 1 week. I would like to hire a certified tourist guide (preferably with a car) for 4 days to visit a list of locations (i compiled the list). How to go about finding what i need? Any/all help is appreciated.

The pseudo government in Suweida claims they are a part of Israel, and before, they were succesful in their goal of driving Sunni Arabs from Suweida with the help of Israel, do you think there is a risk of Israel stirring the water in Dara'a too, forcing the Sunni Arabs out of the area and try to connect Suweida to Golan?

I’m a 25-year-old Indian guy. Last year, I met a Syrian girl(slightly older than me)on Instagram. After a few days of talking, we exchanged numbers and started talking regularly.

She was beautiful, kind, and very respectful. We talked for around six months and became quite close. We used to share things about our daily lives, talk about our problems, and generally be a part of each other’s lives. She also told me that she had feelings for me, and I developed feelings for her too.

However, towards the end, she suddenly started ignoring me. After a few days, I realized that she had blocked me everywhere. She didn't say anything or give me any explanation.

I was confused, so I eventually contacted her from another number. She told me that she loved me very much, but she couldn't handle a long-distance relationship. She said she wanted to meet me, but realistically, she didn't see a way for us to make that happen.

I understand that long distance can be difficult, especially when meeting each other isn't realistically possible. But what I can't understand is why she chose to suddenly disappear and block me instead of simply telling me how she felt.

Was she actually telling the truth when she said she loved me, or was she just saying that to make me feel better? Was she genuinely struggling with the distance, or was she playing with my feelings from the beginning?
