# Analysis
Tomorrow will be one months since the offensive of HTS started in Idlib. Many things had changed in one month, and many more can change in the next days. We are working to make an easy-to-read summary of the situation to make it more accessible to everyone. If you can help with graphic design or have more ideas, please contact us! For now we are thinking to make some flyers and infographics that can be easily shared and distributed in real life events, as it was proposed the first days we started this broadcast channel.
Revolutionary greetings!
