zReportage.com Story of the Week #761: TUESDAY November 10, 2020: ‘HANGING BY A THREAD’ from ZUMA Press award winning photographer Anas Alkharboutli of DPA who won the 27th Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandy War Correspondents Award 2020 for his work in Syria: Since the Syrian Civil War erupted in March 2011, the conflict has brought unprecedented devastation and displacement. Renewed violence has undermined an already shaky cease-fire that aimed to quell military operations in the rebel-held enclave. Relations between Russia and Turkey, who negotiated the cease-fire, show signs of strain. Russia is a main supporter of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government, while Turkey has long supported the rebels. The airstrike on a rebel training camp near the border with Turkey killed more than 50 Turkish-backed fighters, in one of the heaviest blows to the opposition’s strongest groups. The temporary peace deal now hangs by a thread. Welcome to: ‘HANGING BY A THREAD’
