History

Al Thawra was first published on 1 July 1963. It is the official newspaper of the Syrian government, and mostly covers governmental initiatives in the social and economic areas.

Al-Thawra Al-Souria is based in Damascus. During the COVID-19 pandemic, former President Bashar al-Assad’s regime stopped printing daily newspapers due to rising printing costs and distribution challenges.

Al Wahda institution is the publisher of the daily in addition to Tishreen and Syria Times. After the fall of the Assad regime, the newspaper was relaunched on 1 December 2025, returning to print for the first time since 2020 as a modern platform combining print, digital, and interactive formats. Information Minister Hamza al-Mustafa said the relaunch marks Syria’s reclaimed voice after decades of censorship, calling it “a statement of presence and identity.”
