On February 25, 2025, the CCDP Seminar Series hosted a compelling seminar, Beyond Assad: Can Syria’s Future Security Sector Governance Escape Its Past?, with Dr. Abdulla Ibrahim (Senior Researcher, CCDP) and Dr. Yezid Sayigh (Senior Fellow, Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center) moderated by Eliza Urwin (Head of Research, CCDP).
