This attack shocked the world, causing so much pain and suffering.
Heavy thoughts, painful memories, and an appeal for hope are what's on my heart and mind.

Syria's Perilous Dawn: A Call for Hope and Action
Syria's Perilous Dawn: A Call for Hope and Action
The world breathed a collective sigh of relief when news broke that Syria’s brutal fourteen-year civil war was over. The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship felt like the long-awaited dawn after a dark and bloody night. Yet, our new report reveals, this new day is perilous, especially for the ancient religious and ethnic minorities who call Syria home. While the new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, presents a moderate face to the West, the facts on the ground tell a story of escalating violence and fear. This is not a time for naive optimism, but for principled action and determined hope.
