Assad’s regime took my father. Normalising relations feels like an attempt to rewrite history | Wafa Mustafa

This weekend's Arab League summit will embolden the regime to continue its crimes, including the forced disappearances of hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrians

When the protests first started in Syria in 2011, my father changed. He was very calm. He told me: I had hoped my whole life that this would happen, but I never thought I would witness it. Even if I don't get to see victory for the Syrian people, it is enough for me that I have been there at the beginning."

I can't help but think of these words today.
