Derek welcomes back historian Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi for a discussion about developments in Syria under the new government, which toppled that of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. They talk about the massacres of Alawites at the beginning of this year, the non-governmental militias still operating in the country, clashes between Druze and Bedouin armed groups in the southern city of Suwayda, Israeli involvement, Syrian Democratic Forces activity in the northeast of the country and Turkey’s role, and whether the government under Ahmed al-Sharaa can make a “Syria for all Syrians.”

Check out Aymenn's book The Conquest of al-Andalus: a Translation of Fath al-Andalus.
