a these activities on these activities now. so there are plenty of outside actors interested in influencing developments in syria, who's been most active so far in this past week as well mainly oh the um for and forces that have already assuring the interest for many, many years here and 00 a trying to influence the transition process again. first of all, of course we have the countries who are in favor and supporting the new government . we have, for example of kata that has said that the, they want to reopen the embassy. turkey also mentioned that they want to re open the embassy, and the chief of the tuckers intelligence has paid a visit to damascus yesterday. and then we also have a turkey and at the u. s. and the u. s. secretary of state lincoln met

yesterday with the turkish president at around. this is important because um in the us um is um, supporting the curtis uh forces in the north uh in the far as against isis. but these uh, forces are seen by turkey as terrorists. so this is why the conflict is still ongoing despite these play yesterday. and of course we have a israel israel hub care. it has carried out many errors twice and the last couple of days and is also advancing for the into the surround territory. so the syrian observatory of human minds has mentioned that israel's forces now in a mountain, members of the syrian diaspora around the world are eager to return to the country either to visit for the 1st time in many years or to move back. but some are also leaving syria. why is that? oh,
