A project to help the visually impaired in Syria’s war-devastated north brings hope and a better life for the blind. Nour, which means light in Arabic, is a unique charity project that houses people with severe visual impairments along with their families. Some 3,000 blind people live in north-west Syria, with some losing their sight due to war injuries while others were born blind, a survey in Idlib shows, he says. The civil war that has been raging since 2011 has claimed more than 350,000 lives so far. Around 13 million people have been displaced within Syria or have fled to other countries. Although Syria’s ruler Bashar al-Assad now controls around two-thirds of the country again, Idlib remains the last stronghold of opposition rebel groups. Welcome to ‘Blinded By War’

The roughly three year long battle that has included violent protests, the police killing of a climate activist, numerous arrests, and sweeping domestic terrorism and racketeering charges against protesters that have alarmed civil rights advocates. The city argues the facility will be important to properly train police and replace worn out facilities. Protesters claim it will empower police violence, in part through creating a mock city to practice urban warfare tactics. Welcome to ‘Cop City’ Crackdown
