CAESAR 3 DAMASCUS TV
In an interview with Al-Maydeen TV in January, Syrian presidential adviser Bouthaina Shaaban claimed that “Syria’s economy is now 50 times better than what it was in 2011.” She added that the inflation of the Syrian pound was “purely exchange-rate talk with nothing official and in writing” - much to the displeasure of most Syrians in government-held areas, who flooded social media with heated posts in response. Just after the short-lived protests the Syria Trust for Development, a government-run NGO, announced plans to provide 368 million Syrian pounds (around $300,000) for an ongoing project in Sweida to support the local population.ĭespite the growing public backlash, the government’s official line hasn’t wavered. The popular Jableh News Network page on Facebook sarcastically offered some advice for the people of Jableh in Latakia Province: “For those of you in the city wanting to participate in protests, please make your way to the main square, as it’s closer to the Air Force Intelligence headquarters” - a sign, despite the sarcasm, that while people do not want a return to conflict, they do need a reprieve, as the severity of the situation and the cumulative effects of poor living conditions, sanctions, and rising prices are getting to be too much.

While the protests were limited to just one area, the rest of the country could certainly sympathize and although short-lived, they gained the attention of both the government and fellow Syrians. It was not just the collapse of the Syrian pound that sparked the protests, but also the scarce job opportunities and rapid rise in living costs. “We want to live” the protesters chanted - a slogan that reverberated across Syria - as they were joined by people from a wide range of backgrounds, including students, store owners, and even government employees. Since 2011 protests in government-held areas of Syria have been a rare occurrence, but in the face of the ongoing crisis, locals in the southern town of Shahba in Sweida Province spilled onto the streets for three straight days in mid-January to vent their anger at rising prices, sanctions, and the dire economic situation. This marks the beginning of a dangerous new phase in the Syrian conflict as the government, fresh from its eight-year-long war for survival, tries to fend off an economic collapse from within. From a pre-war level of around 50 Syrian pounds to the dollar in 2011, the exchange rate has now increased more than twenty-fold to a record high of 1200 per dollar. Nicholas’ poetic and philosophical works have not been preserved.Faced with the threat of further sanctions, a volatile situation in neighboring Lebanon, and a brutally tough winter, the only thing currently rising from the embers of war-torn Syria is the value of the dollar against the struggling Syrian pound. The greatest number of fragments are preserved in the works of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, as well as in the works of Strabo and Flavius Josephus. The fragments of the Collection of Remarkable Customs give us an idea of the everyday life and legal relations of various ancient peoples. It is the only source of information about Augustus’ childhood and youth. Nicholas’ Life of Caesar was written to glorify Emperor Augustus. A large part of the history has been lost. Of special interest is his history, the first books of which are devoted to the history and mythology of the countries of the East, the last to the events of the seventh through fourth centuries B.C.
