On March 11, 2018, I was joined again by courageous journalist and analyst, Elijah J. Magnier, who was in Syria. He addressed developments in eastern Ghouta and in Syria’s northwestern region of Afrin–where Turkey has been waging an illegal month and a half-long bombardment operation, killing hundreds of Syrian civilians.
He also spoke of the Reconciliation process, former militants now fighting with the Syrian army, and the makeup of the Syrian army itself. He addressed Twitter censorship, and the incredibly unethical journalism that is Western (and Gulf) corporate media on Syria, among other things.
**Note: the connection was weak at times and so there are a couple of occasions where the feed freezes for a few seconds. Apologies, out of my hands. The clicking was me trying to resolve whatever the issue was, and to ensure recording was continuing.
Elijah Magnier is the chief international correspondent at Al Rai and a political and terrorism/counterterrorism analyst, with over 32 years’ experience, including covering Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya & more.
