When a war is forgotten, the problems do not go away. In Syria, a cholera outbreak could threaten the whole region, just as the World Health Organization is investigating complaints of corruption from within its ranks. Meanwhile, the ways in which the world has adapted to the Syrian government's survival are coming into the spotlight, as Syria's neighbours are starting to return leader Bashar al-Assad to the fold.
