We were at the 'Stories of Conflict, Migration and Place' event on Wednesday 4th May hosted by Community Arts North West and Platforma. We attended a very useful workshop on how to write scripts to make effective videos. We also saw a series of short videos in the morning that people had caught on their mobiles, showing different stories from the Syrian conflict.
Manchester's Syrian community will be protesting at Piccadilly Gardens on Wednesday at 18:30 against the Assad regime's most recent massacre against Douma. Continuous shelling in Douma on 16 August left over one hundred killed in one day.
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 was featured in Mancunian Matters calling upon the media and general public to refocus their attention on Syria to the real source of the problem, namely the brutality of the Assad regime.
RR organised a bus from Manchester to participate in the London march for the 4th anniversary of the Syrian revolution. We waved our freedom flags proudly and reminded the world that Syrians' priority remains the ouster of the Assad regime.
