Syria: after thirteen years of war, the humanitarian situation is worsening and attacks continue. The first step towards normalization was regional, with Syria's return to the Arab League last year.
But the results remain mixed, estimates Thomas Pierret, research fellow at the CNRS. On the Western side, the director of the Franco-Syrian humanitarian NGO Mehad regrets a stated desire to turn the page on the conflict. The violence since October is therefore the most significant in four years, experts indicate.
