2019 was an especially bleak year for Syria as displacement across the country continued especially in Idlib province. Below are our top five blogs in 2019 that touched on these important issues that captured the attention of our readers. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/sy…

.@AtlanticCouncil: Acc. to #SNHR, roughly 4,647 civilians were killed across #Syria in 2019; which is less than half of the year before. A significant decrease in deaths,& of those around 15 percent were concentrated in the highly populated area in #Idlib.

What’s left from the Women Now center in Maarat al Numan, is a broken sign. It has been the safe place for hundreds of women since 2014. We celebrated their graduations and we built our dreams for a better future. This’s not the future we waited for and this can’t be the end.

"Tens of thousands" flee "intensive aerial bombardment" on Maarrat al-Nouman in northwest Syria, reports @OCHA_Syria. Especially hard to handle mass displacement in winter, when it's too cold and rainy for families to shelter outside stay or on the road. reliefweb.int/report/syrian-…

Small step, very late,
but part of a larger trend of deligimitisation of the Assad regime.

That should happened many many years ago

Massacre in Ma’aret Elnoman, air strikes attacked the local marckets, at least 10 people were killed and dozens injured.

The centers were evacuated today in Idlib, after heavy bombardment began. Everyone had to escape quickly when the bombardement started. Nothing guarantees their safety today, not in Idlib, not in any of the Syrian towns being bombed relentlessly.

Among other lessons ISIS drew from predecessors, the group proves far more resilient to decapitation strikes due to an organizational structure. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/sy…

US official tells @NBCNews no US troops have left Syria. They are not packing. No orders to pack. So, Trump’s apparent green light to Turkey for a military operation against the Kurds has trigged confusion and panic, but not real change, for now.

The decision of the US to withdraw from parts of northern Syria sends a message of total disregard to Arab and Kurdish Syrian civilians in the affected areas

1) Some thoughts about Trump's green light to Erdogan to intervene in NE Syria:
- It is consistent with Trump's views. He promised to withdraw from Syria since he was on the campaign trail. He announced his intention twice, first in April, and then in Dec 2018.
