Category: ETHNIC GROUPS
A growing number of ethnic and tribal conflicts have contributed to internal chaos across the Middle East. Ethnographic and demographic studies are helpful in determining a background for these conflicts. CESD focuses on the ideologies and structure of many ethnic groups in the MENA region, including Assyrian’s, Ashuri’s, and Quqazi’s. We are the first non-profit organization to produce stories about IDP’s in Syria, and specific minority groups in northeastern Syria. In 2004, we also covered the Kurdish Revolution that was held against the Assad regime.
