In today’s live podcast, Kevork Almassian hosts Syrian Assistant Professor Hassan Modar (University of Tsukuba, Japan) to talk about the Syrian dilemma after the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. We start with his personal journey from Syria to Japan, his work in robotics, prosthetics and assistive technology, and what this expertise can offer to a country shattered by war.
Then we move into politics and identity. Hassan shares his position in 2011 when the war began, how he perceived the regime's collapse in Damascus in December 2024, and what it means to be a Syrian Alawite living under Abu Mohammad al-Jolani’s rule in the new power structure. We discuss federalism, sectarianism, and whether Syrians are truly one people or a collection of communities, and we examine Israel’s attempt to present itself as the “protector” of Syria’s minorities.
