Today, more than a decade after the Syrian uprising, we, Syrians, find our country torn into different geopolitical divisions, ruled by de-facto authorities hijacked by regional and international powers. With a stalemated political process, surging normalisation trends with the Syrian Regime, and lack of genuine action by the international community to address the Syrian conflict, we find ourselves in limbo! Yet, we believe that when claiming political agency, hundreds of Syrian civic actors across the globe can make a difference!    

AND SO WAS BORN THE VISION OF "MADANIYA"… 

Madaniya is a Syrian-led, Syrian-funded initiative, independent of political and foreign influence, aimed at enhancing the political agency of the Syrian civic space.

“Since the international community does not want to change the equation within the Syrian crisis, we have to think about what exactly WE want, and what WE should do.”
