Forward's December Issue Out

Dear Forward Readers, Our December issue of Forward Magazine includes many exciting Syrian-made features as well as interviews with Syrian, regional and international figures. A special file about Obamania sweeping Bushism away detects the Syrian street's reaction to Obama's change wave, coupled with views by top Syrian political analysts and figures. A former US Ambassador to Syria tells us a moment of opportunity is presenting itself for Syrian-Israeli talks, while Forward Magazine's editor sums up the Syrian wish list for Obama's reign. Our current issue also features a host of interviews with exciting Syrian figures from the business, cultural and political scenes. Top Syrian actor & Bab Al Hara's Abbas Al Nouri gives Forward an exclusive, while our Women Beside Great Men series of articles brings to the forefront a rare narrative by Mahassen Mattar about her life with Syria's famed painter, Abdulkader Arnaout. Wishing you all an enjoyable Eid, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year from all of us at Forward Magazine!
