The Assad regime's oppressive tactics in Syria fostered an environment of distrust where citizens reported on each other, resulting in a society deeply divided by betrayal. With the regime's sudden collapse in December, the lingering suspicions of complicity in tyranny haunt communities. The experiences of families like the Barbary and Moghrabi illustrate personal grievances surrounding accusations of informant behavior and government persecution. The narrative reveals how the fear and oppression have left indelible scars on social dynamics, complicating relationships among neighbors who grapple with their past choices.
Neighbors and colleagues reported on each other everywhere. Now, Syrians are shadowed by the question of who among them had contributed to the regime's tyranny.
The Assad regime made Syria an informant state, with surveillance that turned the country on itself.
