*SAVE THE DATE* CSID 22nd Annual Conference: Democracy Denied

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 (All day)
The ICC Auditorium Georgetown University -- Washington, DC

For nearly 60 years, the region has been dominated by authoritarian rulers, many supported by outside powers, while the majority of the people are starving for democracy, dignity, and economic development. Yonatan Ziegen, the son of 74-year old peace activist Vivien Silver who was killed by HAMAS on October 7, 2023, was asked what his mother would say. He answered: “This is the outcome of war, of not striving for peace.” This is also the outcome of not striving for human rights and democracy across the MENA region. People can be oppressed for only so long.
