From Syria, we too often have only scattered images. Those of a bloody regime in place for five decades, which was for a long time a privileged partner of France; the images of the popular revolutions of 2011 bloodily repressed by the former regime; the destruction of the largest cities in the country under the bombs of Bashar al-Assad and the Russians; the images of the jihadists of the Islamic State, those who fomented attacks in France from the city of Raqqa, which the terrorist group had made its capital. For a week now, we have been seeing other clichés, those of a people joyful at having overthrown the tyrant. But also the portraits of the new masters of Syria, bottle-fed on jihadism, and of whom we do not know what to think. And then there are missing images, those of these tens or hundreds of thousands of ghosts, opponents, artists, intellectuals or demonstrators, imprisoned and disappeared: names on registers, whose families are today looking for traces in the basements of the regime's prisons. Who are the new masters of Syria? What can the future of the country be in a Middle East in full upheaval? Will the Syrians whose loved ones were killed or tortured by the regime one day know the truth? Will they obtain justice? A program prepared by Gwenaëlle Lenoir and Mathieu Magnaudeix, presented by Mathieu Magnaudeix. Our guests: Sana Yazigi, creator of the site Mémoire créative de la révolution Syriene, author of Chroniques de la révolte Syriene: des lieux et des hommes, 2011-2015 (Presses de l'Ifpo); Hanane and Obeida Dabbagh, relatives of missing Syrians, who obtained the life sentence of three officials of the former Syrian regime for complicity in crimes against humanity, in May 2024; Ziad Majed, political scientist, professor at the American University of Paris, author of Syria, the orphan revolution and co-author of Inside the head of Bashar al-Assad (published by Actes Sud); Gilles Dorronsoro, researcher at the European Center for Sociology and Political Science, co-author of Syria.
