“Throughout Peaceland, inequality permeates the relationships between interveners and local stakeholders.”
Severine Autesserre, Peaceland: Conflict Resolution and the Everyday Politics of International Intervention

Aysha Taryam
“If Syria is to rise from the ashes it needs a united Arab world which has one thing on its agenda, not the falling of a dictator for we have seen many of those fall, but the reemergence of a prosperous Arab nation, one that is not reliant on foreign aid but is self-sustained and set on its way to become powerful once again.”
Aysha Taryam
