Part 3/9:
It is imperative to remember that the fall of Assad is not merely a cultural narrative for Western audiences but a genuine political event with real repercussions for Syrians. The attempt to frame international developments through the lens of Western culture wars risks diluting the significance of these events. Instead, the focus should be on the indigenous forces and the geopolitical dynamics that have shaped Syria’s journey towards potential liberation.
The discourse surrounding Syria should also not become a simplification of complexities. Many analyses lack an authentic understanding of the local dynamics and societal structures. The interwoven fabric of Syrian society proves that developing a thorough comprehension of these events is vital for those discussing them from afar.
