What Can Europe do in Syria?
After 54 years of brutal rule in Syria, the al-Assad family’s reign came to an end last week. Following 13 years of devastating civil war, which saw over a million refugees flee to Europe, and millions more internally displaced within Syria this brought both a sense of relief and celebration, and a sense of trepidation and anxiety about what might come next for Syria. To help us make sense of the events of the last few weeks and what we might expect in the months to come, Asli Aydintasbas and Nathalie Tocci join Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend on this weeks episode of Brussels Sprouts.
Asli Aydintasbas is Visiting Fellow at the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution.
Nathalie Tocci is the Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali.
