In our first episode, we join @laurentvds and his colleague as they descend into besieged suburbs of Damascus, where they become the first Western witnesses - and indeed victims - of Assad's chemical campaign. In response, they resolve to collect evidence. anchor.fm/gppi/episodes/1--A…

March 15 will mark the 10th anniversary of the Syrian uprising. It's prompting retrospectives and benchmarking that are hard to engage with without an overwhelming sense of personal and professional failure, as someone who spent the best part of the decade working on Syria.

One important lesson I've learned in the last few weeks is that if you like a product or service produced by a very small business, you shouldn't just use them but tell your friends to do so as well...and then tell the business you like them! It could make a world of difference.

Syria in Context was such an amazing opportunity for me, I learned a lot from working with @ejbeals and @tobiaschneider and saw @KhattabAsser doing amazing work after I left.
Good luck to all of you for your future endeavours and many thanks to the audience.

We are especially proud of our original reporting, including a series of in-depth investigative and analytical reports on the dramatic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and response across the country (work which was kindly supported by @boell_meo).
