EMERGENCY EPISODE: The Fall of Aleppo
The extraordinary turn of events in Syria in recent days saw the city of Aleppo, once Syria's largest and a key part of the earlier story of Syria's revolution, fall to Syria's rebels, with the soldiers of the Assad regime in chaotic retreat. I spoke to Thomas van Linge, one of the few journalist who has been covering the story, about what has happened and the reasons why.You can support Thomas's work here https://ko-fi.com/thomasvlinge and he is active on Twitter and Bluesky.If you'd like to support this podcast the easiest way to do that is becoming a paid subscriber of my Substack: arthursnell.substack.com Hosted on Acast.
