‘Syrische Jubelfeiern: Das Leid hinter den Freudentränen’ (‘Syrian celebrations: the suffering behind the tears of joy’) – Article by Manfred Sing in the Merkur Blog

Today, the article ‘Syrian celebrations: the suffering behind the tears of joy’ by Manfred Sing appeared in the Merkur blog. He begins it with the words: ‘The tyrant is gone!’ The exuberant jubilation that erupted among Syrians from Damascus to Berlin on 8 December and united them from the refugee camps in Jordan to exile in Canada can hardly express what is going on inside them these days.’ The full article is linked below.

Manfred Sing is an associate researcher at the IEG and will return to the IEG as Research Coordinator on 1 January. We look forward to working together with him again!
