Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #936 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY April 23, 2024: Rebuilding Raqqa ‘Pearl of the Euphrates’ by ZUMA Partner agency Le Pictorium photo-journalist Chris Huby: The city of Raqqa symbolizes the tragic fate of Syria over the past 12 years. From the start of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad in 2011, the northern city was a major target for rebel groups. It then became the stronghold of Islamic State group terrorists, who made Raqqa the capital of their self-proclaimed caliphate. The city went through three years of hell, suffering atrocities, public hangings and slave auctions, before being bombed and then liberated in 2017 by an international US-led coalition. Since then, the ”Pearl of the Euphrates” has struggled to get back on track. Welcome to Rebuilding Raqqa ‘Pearl of the Euphrates’
