Why set up a Syria Programme? 

Caabu started a specific Syria programme in 2011 to highlight events in Syria, improve the understanding of the uprising and protests in the country, raise issues of human rights, and international law and the humanitarian situation. 

It stems from the conviction that the situation in Syria poses a significant threat to the country, to the region and international peace and security. 

Caabu's position on Syria

 

Joint Event with the Frontline Club, BBC Arabic, Caabu and the Independent Yemen Group

(This is part of the programme Caabu and the Independent Yemen Group are organising for Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Tawakkul Karman)

The uprisings across the Middle East and North Africa were a time when the 'revolutionary Arab woman' grabbed the attention of the western media.

Caabu’s Syria programme started in 2011 to highlight events in Syria, improve understanding of the uprising and protests in the country, raise issues of human rights, international law and the humanitarian situation. With media access to the country heavily restricted, Caabu’s Syria programme is especially crucial in informing parliamentary debate. 

It was a fantastic talk and I know from student feedback, they found it extremely interesting and it certainly broadened their existing understanding of the conflict
