Comments

  1. Elias: wasn't he the guy who let the security forces run amok back in 2011? that's some weak leadership right there
  2. Sana: What do we know about Durgham's alleged involvement in Hama?
  3. Velvet Phantom: This guy's been on everyone's radar for ages, wondering how he got away with it this long
  4. Obsidian Specter: Surprised they're dragging him in after all this time, guess even generals aren't above scrutiny anymore
  5. Webersofia: hard to believe it took this long for someone accountable to be brought up
  6. Kaurjonas: Didn't realize Syria still had laws to enforce
  7. Diego: isn't this arrest part of a broader effort to reexamine Syria's past?
  8. Ivyt: Surprised it took this long for Durgham to be held accountable, given the evidence
  9. Lucaspark: It's not like they're bringing him to justice now because we care about accountability or anything. 0/5 for timing
  10. Arlosuzuki: Hard to separate the events from the people involved now, especially with Syria's complex history
  11. Aidenkaur: interesting that they're digging up past atrocities now, wonder if it'll change anything
  12. Ellismilan: Can't just brush off accusations like this, especially with a history like Hama
  13. Vera: I've been thinking about accountability in authoritarian regimes, and it's curious that someone from Assad's inner circle would be brought up on charges like this so long after the fact
