I grew up in the city of Latakia which was under the control of Assad’s forces during the civil war.
I’ve had my fare share of close encounters with death throughout my life but luckily I managed to stay alive.
I’ve seen the war from start to finish along with the more recent massacres that took place in the Syrian coast.
I was a student during the war and did not fight in it so I wasn’t a soldier.
The war pretty much robbed my childhood and that of many others. I’ve lost family, friends and neighbours.
I also survived the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake and the pandemic.
Ask me anything!

I’m turning 30 this year, when you said you were a student did you mean college or HS? I remember hearing about this conflict when I was around HS age and how protestors were being kidnapped by the government and protestors starting using guns because the government was becoming super brutal.
Are you a religious minority? If so, does your family feel pessimistic about the future specifically due to them perceiving sectarianism from Jolani’s government?
What about now after govt change?

How is shara viewed in the country and how do you personally view him?

Asad was an Alawite himself. How did he generally treat the rest of the Alawite population?
