Dr Haian Dukhan | Syria and Middle East Political Scientist

Broadcast and Media

I comment regularly on Syria and the wider Middle East, in English and Arabic. I have appeared on BBC World News, BBC Radio Scotland, Sky News and ITV News, most recently on the fall of the Assad regime and the transition that followed, and I write for outlets including Al Jazeera English, The Conversation, Middle East Eye and The National.
