Kiwi aid worker returns to Syria after fall of Assad
Hawke's Bay-born humanitarian Mike Seawright – who is the founder of locally-based aid agency ReliefAid, has just re-entered Syria for the first time since the fall of the Assad regime last December.
Although ReliefAid has been delivering aid to Syrian families since 2015, Mike had been prevented from entering the country under the dictatorial regime. Now he is visiting Damascus, Aleppo, and Idlib – where his teams worked throughout the war. He joins Jim to discuss what he has found there since the dramatic change in leadership.

UN Hails New Era Of Cooperation Over Syria's Chemical Weapons Stockpile
5 June 2025 However, serious concerns remain over potential undeclared stockpiles and more than a decade of incomplete or inconsistent disclosures by Syria, raising doubts about full compliance. Briefing ambassadors in the Security Council on Wednesday, Izumi Nakamitsu, UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, said that recent missions by the international chemical weapons watchdog (OPCW) had made 'meaningful progress' toward verifying the full extent of Syria's suspected arsenal – a process long hindered by lack of access under the previous regime. Transparent cooperation Two OPCW deployments took place in March and April, with inspectors visiting a dozen sites in and around Damascus, including key facilities of the Scientific Studies and Research Centre (SSRC) – long believed to be central to Syria's weapons programme. During the April visit, samples were collected for laboratory analysis and experts met with newly appointed Syrian officials, including the new Director-General of the SSRC. 'For both deployments, the interim Syrian authorities extended all necessary support for the OPCW team's activities,' Ms. Nakamitsu said, noting that this included full access to sites and personnel, security escorts and issuance of visas. 'The commitment of the new authorities in Syria to fully and transparently cooperate with the OPCW Technical Secretariat is commendable.' Challenges remain Nevertheless, challenges remain. Of the 26 issues originally flagged by the OPCW regarding Syria's 2013 chemical weapons declaration, 19 are still unresolved – including potentially undeclared chemical agents and munitions, which remain matters of 'serious concern,' according to the watchdog. Resolution 2118, adopted unanimously by the Security Council following a deadly sarin gas attack in Ghouta, requires Syria to fully declare and destroy all chemical weapons under international supervision. The Ghouta chemical attack occurred on 21 August 2013, when rockets filled with a nerve agent struck the eastern suburb of Damascus, reportedly killing more than 1,000 people, including hundreds of children. A UN investigation confirmed that sarin gas was used in the attack. Despite joining the Chemical Weapons Convention that year, the Assad regime – which was toppled last December – made 20 amendments to its initial declaration without satisfying OPCW verification standards. Difficult road ahead Ms. Nakamitsu urged Security Council members to unite over the Syria dossier, emphasising that long-term disarmament and non-proliferation there would require additional international support and resources. 'The work ahead will not be easy,' she said, noting the need for training and equipment support to prevent the reemergence of chemical weapons and to enable the national authorities to investigate chemical weapons issues effectively. ' The United Nations stands ready to support and will continue to do our part to uphold the norm against the use of chemical weapons – anywhere, at any time. '

Dutch far-right leader quits, toppling government
Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders' PVV party has left the governing coalition, in a move that is set to topple the right wing government and will likely lead to new elections. Wilders said his coalition partners were not willing to support his ideas on halting asylum migration. "No signature under our asylum plans. The PVV leaves the coalition," Wilders said in a post on X. Wilders said he had informed Prime Minister Dick Schoof that all ministers from his PVV party would quit the government. Schoof has not yet reacted to the resignation. Wilders' surprise move ends an already fragile coalition which has struggled to reach any consensus since its installation last July. It will likely bring new elections in a few months, adding to political uncertainty in the euro zone's fifth-largest economy. It will likely also delay a decision on a possibly historic increase in defence spending to meet new NATO targets. And it will leave the Netherlands with only a caretaker government when it receives NATO country leaders for a summit to decide on these targets in The Hague later this month. DISBELIEF, ANGER Wilders' coalition partners responded with disbelief and anger. "This is making us look like a fool," the leader of the conservative VVD party Dilan Yesilgoz said. "There is a war on our continent. Instead of meeting the challenge, Wilders is showing he is not willing to take responsibility." "This is incredible," leader of the centrist NSC party Nicolien van Vroonhoven said. "It is irresponsible to take down the government at this point." With PVV out, the others parties have the theoretical option to try and proceed as a minority government. They are not expected to, and have yet to confirm it. Wilders won the most recent election in the Netherlands, but recent polls show he has lost support since joining government. Polls now put his party at around 20% of the votes, roughly at par with the Labour/Green combination that is currently the second-largest in parliament. Wilders had last week demanded immediate support for his proposals to completely halt asylum migration, send Syrian refugees back to their home country and to close asylum shelters. Coalition partners did not embrace his idea, and had said it was up to the migration minister from Wilders' own party to work on specific proposals. Wilders was not part of the government himself as its leader or a minister. He was convicted for discrimination after he insulted Moroccans at a campaign rally in 2014 and only managed to strike a coalition deal with three other conservative parties last year after he gave up his bid to become prime minister. Instead, the cabinet was led by the independent and unelected Schoof, a career bureaucrat who had led the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD and was the senior official at the ministry of justice.

Sanctions Relief For Syria Offers ‘Powerful Message Of Hope,' Says UN Migration Agency
27 May 2025 After more than a decade of conflict and severe economic stagnation, lifting the punitive measures will encourage long-term recovery and peacebuilding in Syria, Amy Pope, IOM Director-General, said in a statement. 'The lifting of sanctions sends a powerful message of hope to millions of displaced Syrians, both within the country and across the region,' she said. $800 billion lost UN estimates suggest that the Syrian economy lost over $800 billion during the 14-year civil war. According to a UN Development Programme (UNDP) report, if the current annual growth rate continues, Syria's economy will not return to its pre-conflict gross domestic product (GDP) levels until 2080. The sanctions relief from the US, UK and EU – covering around $15 billion in restricted assets and trade measures – could unlock important investment opportunities for rebuilding key infrastructure, IOM said. Most of these sanctions were originally imposed during the Assad era and have long been blamed for Syria's hindering economic recovery. Alongside the sanctions relief, Saudi Arabia and Qatar pledged to pay $15.5 million of Syria's arrears to the World Bank. Together with Türkiye, they also offered to fund public salaries and support energy infrastructure. These changes reflect 'momentum from re-engagement and reconstruction,' IOM added. A country torn apart The Syrian conflict, which began March 2011 after pro-democracy protests against Bashar Al-Assad, lasted almost 14 years. During this time, tens of thousands of Syrians were killed and countless more disappeared. The fighting and insecurity also displaced more than 10 million civilians – within the country or as refugees outside its borders. Poverty rates tripled, affecting 90 per cent of the population, with 66 per cent living in extreme poverty. Since the end of the war in December 2024 with the overthrow of the Assad regime, half a million Syrian refugees have returned. A further 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) have also returned to their places of origin. They returned home amidst great hope for the future of Syria, but also severe economic projections. 'Hope must be matched with concrete support,' Director General Pope said. 'Syrians need not just the ability to return but the means to rebuild their lives in safety and dignity.' Moving from relief to resilience The UN estimates that over 16.5 million Syrians – roughly 70 per cent of the population – continue to require humanitarian assistance. But funding shortfalls have complicated aid efforts. Already in the last week of May, only 10 per cent of the estimated $2 billion needed between January and June to assist eight million Syrians has been received. Ms. Pope noted that it is important for the Syrian people and economy to begin moving towards longer-term solutions outside of humanitarian aid. 'While humanitarian assistance remains critical, IOM urges donors and development partners to expand their focus to medium- and long-term recovery. A transition from relief to resilience is not only necessary – it is urgent,' she said.
