Syria is torn apart by war and the future seems bleak. How did this conflict come into existence, which role plays the Assad-regime and what is at stake for world powers like the US, Russia and China? In the midst of all violence and destruction, civilians in Syria try to continue their daily lives. Under what conditions do they live, what kind of future awaits them and do they still have hope for peace? Three Syria-experts will give their view:
Lex Runderkamp is travelling reporter in the Arab world for the NOS.
Sakir Khader is a journalist for the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant and writes about refugees and the Arab world.
Fouad Hallak is photographer. He fled Syria and lives in the Netherlands.
Lecture is at Vrijhof, Agora.
Photos of Fouad Hallak are on display from 6 to 23 September in the Vrijhof.
In coproduction with:

This program is part of the Dutch Peace Week.
