As the US-led coalition (the Coalition) against the so-called Islamic State (IS) continues, Rethink Rebuild Society (RR) questions why the recent gains made by IS have been allowed to happen.
RR director Dr. Haytham Alhamwi appeared on 'That’s TV Manchester' on Monday 1 June talking about his personal experience in Assad’s prisons. He explained why the Syrian people chose to revolt against the dictatorial regime and spoke about Rethink Rebuild Society and its role in helping the Syrian community in Manchester.
Many members of the Manchester Syrian community attended Syria Relief's annual dinner on Saturday 23 May, this year titled '4 Years On'.
The event was highly successful in highlighting Syria Relief's accomplishments in the past year and in presenting its vision for the next year.
Five members of the Syrian community of Bristol visited RR office on Saturday 23 May and met members of the Syrian community of Manchester
The meeting between the two communities was highly beneficial in sharing experiences and exploring methods of collaboration to increase Syria's profile within the UK.
RR's Director Dr. Haytham Alhamwi was represented on the BBC World Service Programme on Palmyra on 21 May.
Dr. Alhamwi highlighted the brutality of the Assad regime and discussed the barrel bombing that occurs whenever an area is liberated from regime control.
