leading the biggest campaign of internal repression since the Stalin era

ABOARD A RUSSIAN PRESIDENTIAL JET—The spy at the front of the cabin drew open the curtain.

Wearing a sand-colored jacket and brown shoes, with a salt-and-pepper goatee, the man had spent the past few hours organizing the final preparations for the largest East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War. Now, as the pilots started the engines to take off for an airport in Turkey’s capital, he came out to look at the 16 prisoners he was escorting to freedom, a haul of Americans, Russians and Germans in their first hours fresh from jails and penal colonies. 

Scanning the passengers, he locked his eyes squarely on one of those prisoners—me. He said nothing, staring in silence for nearly a minute. Then he turned and walked back to his curtained-off section of the presidential jet. I was left to wonder about this man at the helm of the exchange, who appeared to hold my fate in his hands.

Updated 5:20 PM CET, December 8, 2024

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad fled the country on Sunday, bringing to a dramatic close his nearly 14-year struggle to hold onto control as his country fragmented in a brutal civil war that became a proxy battlefield for regional and international powers.

The exit of the 59-year-old Assad stood in stark contrast to his first months as Syria’s unlikely president in 2000, when many hoped he would be a young reformer after three decades of his father’s iron grip. At age 34, the Western-educated ophthalmologist appeared as a geeky tech-savvy fan of computers with a gentle demeanor.

Mohammad Al Jalali In Damascus. Reuters

Army uniforms abandoned in the streets, a president fleeing by plane, and a powerless government left behind to face the ensuing chaos: departing Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Al Jalali has recounted the dramatic final hours before Damascus fell into the hands of rebels.

The president fled to Moscow, thrusting Syria into uncharted political territory following the collapse of his 24-year rule. The rebel advance was so swift that even his allies in Moscow and Tehran were unable to prevent it.

Su carrera periodística comenzó hace ya 43 años escribiendo como freelance en Lima. De ahí, a The Guardian y la BBC cubriendo la región andina.

Hoy, como corresponsal de The EconomistMichael Reid es uno de los reporteros extranjeros que mejor conoce el mundo hispano y a nosotros, los españoles. El autor de títulos como Spain El continente olvidado: Una historia de la nueva América Latina comparte el Premio Internacional de Periodismo de ELMUNDO con Xavier Colás, periodista de nuestro diario en Rusia durante los últimos 12 años, autor de la obra Putinistán (La Esfera de los libros) y testigo de los grandes cataclismos vividos en ese país, incluyendo la guerra de Ucrania.

One year in Gaza through Israeli soldiers’ videos

The Washington Post

The Post verified more than 120 photos and videos of the war in Gaza, most of which were recorded by soldiers or posted on their social media accounts. The visuals show soldiers blowing up or setting fire to buildings — and often celebrating the destruction — occupying destroyed buildings, mocking Palestinians and calling for the Israeli resettlement of Gaza.
