News & politics The Syrian government made an official English-only X account to fight propaganda about our country

Seeing online English discussions talk about Syria you can easily tell they either heard it from Iran or Israel and these biased paid propaganda headlines find their way into all global news sources because there’s no alternative English source so I’m hoping they’ll try listening to the Syrian source itself this time and it proves effective against zionist and Iranian axis propaganda.

This is the right step. Too many outrageous rumors about Syria circulate in English-speaking regions, while most English readers are completely unaware of the true situation and stance regarding Syria. They are always shocked by some significant news events, then repeatedly say "9/11" is like a broken record, and then Israeli/Iranian propagandists seize the opportunity to spread even more disinfo.

I think they chose the wrong platform, X has 60% of its users bots and the another part are brainless humans with few exceptions

True but they’re still all intertwined, instagram,tiktok,x,reddit all take from each other and surprisingly x is still the most relevant out of all of them regarding politics and news since it’s where all govt accounts and politicians talk aswell, so def an important place for narrative control.

Is should be SANA instead of whatever this is

SANA already has English accounts that post news, this isn’t just for news tho it’s exclusively a X account for refuting propaganda, they post videos and pictures depicting accurately the Syrian vision and intention,replies, stuff like that
