It's already been one year since the coastal attacks in Syria, when clashes between Assad regime remnants and government and government-aligned security forces spiraled into a harrowing campaign of massacres targeting primarily Alawi civilian communities. (1)

Since late 2024, Egypt has been increasingly carrying out a troubling, widespread crackdown on migrants, particularly on refugees and asylum seekers from Syria and Sudan. Reports of random street stops, identity checks on public transport, and home raids have recently surged. 1\7

من هو الشهيد في سوريا الجديدة؟ هل تقبل بعض الفئات نزع هذه الصفة عمّن نالها في عصر الأسد؟ وهل تُبقي الدولة الجديدة على هذه الصفة لمن قاتل ضدها؟
في لقاء مع @Daraj_media، ناقش مدير وحدتنا القانونية @OKurdali حقوق الضحايا، وسبل إنصافهم وتخليد ذكراهم دون تمييز.

Syrians deserve to thrive. They deserve every chance to rebuild their country, live with dignity, and enjoy the basic standards of a humane life..
Today, @POTUS announced the cessation of sanctions against Syria.
This is a positive step TIMEP has been advocating for since the fall of the regime and as recently as last week. We look forward to seeing the steps taken to implement this announcement timep.org/2025/05/09/joint-l…

The paper articulates the Sudanese advocates' vision for a stabilized Sudan and provides key contextual information and policy recommendations for the new U.S. administration regarding the humanitarian crisis, civilian protection, ongoing negotiations, and the country’s future. 4
To amplify these perspectives for U.S. policymakers, @TIMEP proudly publishes "Sudanese Priorities for a US-Sudan Policy Agenda"––an outcome of convening Sudanese advocates and policy experts, supplemented by additional research and expert interviews. 3
With negotiations between the warring parties repeatedly failing to end this prolonged crisis, sidelining the voices of Sudanese civilians is no longer acceptable. Sudanese advocates outlined a clear roadmap for stabilizing the country’s future, and their voices must be heard. 2
Amid a catastrophic humanitarian crisis––marked by widespread international crimes, human rights abuses, entrenched impunity, and retaliatory attacks against civil society and humanitarian actors, all exacerbated by funding cuts––the war in Sudan is completing its 2nd year. 1

Important study by @SJAC_info on the Mezzeh Detention Facility. Includes how more than 28,000 people were detained over just 5 years, more than 1,000 confirmed killed
Now U.S. froze SJAC's funding when this type of documentation is more important than ever

In this article, @HenishHalem and I examine Egypt’s problematic asylum law. While the law appears to align with Egypt's international obligations, a closer look at its provisions reveals serious risks that jeopardize the rights of asylum seekers and refugees in the country.
NEW: Egypt’s new asylum law sparks criticism amid concerns that certain provisions grant Egyptian authorities sweeping powers, potentially violating refugees' and asylum seekers' rights. TIMEP's @OKurdali and @HenishHalem analyze the law's key flaws.
