About Me

محسن المصطفى | Muhsen ALMustafa

A Researcher at Omran Center for Strategic Studies

Formerly a research assistant at the Carnegie Middle East Center
Formerly a non-resident fellow at the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy
I holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Information Systems, and a Diploma in Political Science.

I joined the Omran Center for Strategic Studies in early 2018, as part of a joint program between the Omran Center and the Carnegie Middle East Center on civil-military relations in Arab countries in general, and Syria in particular. During my work until 2021, I contributed to the launch of the Tawazon website, which publishes an index of civil-military relations in Arab countries.

In May 2022, I was accepted for a one-year, non-resident fellowship at the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, until May 2023, to focus on security, defense, and governance issues in Syria.

A number of studies and articles related to the military establishment in Syria have been published on a number of research websites.
