# The Syria Files

Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

shaaban@mopa.gov.sy> Your Excellency Dr Shaaban By chance I was watching a programme called "Linatawasal" yesterday on Syrian Satellite TV (I do not have much details because I tuned in the middle of the programme). It is about encouraging people in the
Middle East to communicate with each others and learning about their cultural heritage (the so called audio-visual cultural memory of AL MOUTAWASSET (Middle East) that is at risk of being eroded because the old TV videos and tapes are damaged beyond
repair and therefore leading to the great loss of our precious heritage. The programme was therefore advocating that the young generations of our country should learn the Middle Eastern culture of '23' countries through browsing the web site that has been
specifically established for that purpose. The programme gave an interview with a couple of French scholars promoting the idea on Syrian TV. Whilst I was watching I remembered one of the British MPs during their recent meeting with you and the media
asking you why one could not get Facebook at the Sheraton? Your prompt and smart reply was focused on a very important issue that whilst we are at ware with our neighbour there are attempts to communicate with the our people through the back door. I feel
that what you said could also apply on this new way of encouraging our young generations to learn and communicate with others (unwanted) through the same back door that is as wide as the Facebook! it this time THE SYRIAN SATELLITE TV. I feel that it is
probably worthwhile looking into this programme in full and appreciate your thought and feed back on this issue particularly the ID of the "23" countries involved in this exercise! Warmest regards FAWAZ AKHRAS FAWAZ AKHRAS Consultant Interventional
