    One of my favorite teachers in all my academic years was from Syria. I have never come across a more positive and influential individual before. He is the reason I went to college and the reason I was able to even finish high school. It breaks my heart to learn that this happened to his country. I hope to God that things change for the greater good. I'm sure the ppl of Syria miss peace, they miss freedom, they miss people that parished during the fighting.

      Nauman Khan The problem was we wanted more freedom, but the government killed people so we had oppositions. In the beginning the opposition was very good, but after that it became very extremely islamic, and they used to kill people in God’s name, take their wives and daughters. You can look for it on UA-cam or news, see how they kill people. I was living in Aleppo in 2013 until those terrorists overed my city and damaged everything. I have chosen to go away than being killed by those groups or being forced to fight with them. Because 2013 70% of Syria was controlled by them. Even in 2018 they attacked my city Afrin and killed so many Kurdish people because they said they don’t believe in Islam. My grandma had to leave her house and go somewhere else. She’s now 75 years and lives in a refugee camp close to Jordan. So some people are still asking about religions and suni and Shiaa, like the one replied to your comment. This why the war never gonna stop.

    when the war started, or when i realized we're in a war , i was a kid, was normally saying goodbye to my family, taking my sandwiches and getting on the bus, my school was in babbila , near qazzas [ in damascus]
    while in the middle of the road, we suddenly start hearing bombings, the driver changes the road
    we start hear screamings: " They bombed the school! , They bombed the school ! "
    i was in shock , then i realized 2 of my friends were already there
    when we got back, i ran to my house after a long road of gunshots and bombings
    then we started seeing protests, we noticed terrorists hiding between protests, wearing black masks with guns
    it turned bloody so fast
    things began to change fast
    suddenly on eid we see armed people , not wearing uniforms or something we were scared , our windows were already down
    we start hearing screaming, Allahu Akbar! , Allahu akbar! then we peek out , we find 4 people with a black flag and black uniforms carrying a body
    we started running out of food
    our building was almost down
    we couldn't escape, we were not even able to recognize who are the armed people
    and every day they change, it was so scary
    3 weeks later the Syrian Arab army rushed in , we found an opportunity to escape
    they took us and we were running from a street to street while getting shot by snipers
    you could not even see the sky because of the bombings and its tails
    untill we arrive to allied soldiers
    we slept a night in their house then at the morning they took us with a car to a close area, thankfully we had a house there and since then we still live there
    we changed school, we were still having so much questions
    like why are they screaming Allahu Akbar
    i was a kid i didn't understand i thought they were calling us to pray or something
    not having a single idea they would use this word for their violence and they will make it a scary word instead of it being a peaceful calling for prayer as usual
    after then a lot of things happened
    the terrorists almost reached us in the other area
    but they couldn't , and since then its under the Syrian Arab army control , we couldn't get to the roof of the buildings, we will get arrested for suspicious spying...
    they had PKS's and snipers on all the roofs
    we see helicopters
    i turned from a kid that gets amazed when looking at the guns and interested
    to a kid that it became something normal
    you wake up on a bomb sound, you don't even care anymore
    you see tanks you see helicopters
    now our previous house is completely destroyed, on the ground, as well as the whole area
    the protests were never peaceful, terrorists abused it and turned it into a bloody war and god knows who gave them guns , note that it was mostly american guns , few of them had ak47's
    the guns were not syrian they were not belonging to the syrian arab army . may allah burn them in hell for what they did..
    too much shit that even a movie cant describe, i wish i filmed it
    or someone did
    because you will never be able to understand it or imagine it
    may all the martyrs rest in peace...

Something tells me there was an interest in making the protests violent to have a reason to shoot into the crowd and contain the whole movement. I wish I could have done more and I pray insha'Allah to see my home again soon may Allah increase your patience and bring peace to Syria ya rabb stay strong 💔

    I'm actually a young Syrian girl who experienced war when i was 6 years old, i remember how our parents used to take us to malls and parks and then one time out of the blue, everything broke apart, when i was in middle school a bomb rocked our school and killed 3 high-school students and injured 9. The generation who went through this 9 years of war has gone through the most and yet other countries disrespect us and make us live in camps over the street. And what you heard when you were at the citadel was bombs before Aleppo was completely between our hands, we stayed at home for 3 months because of these bombs and we managed to pass the finals.

    In 2005 (when I was 4), I visited Syria to meet my Iraqi relatives. During that time, Iraq was going through the most and I was not allowed in there because of my father's dumb politics (and the conflict ofc) so my relatives had to go over to Damascus and I had to travel from Sweden. Anyways, there I met some of my relatives for the first and also the last time. I thank Syria for allowing us to meet each other, I remember Damascus being so beautiful and lively. I was amazed at the fact that every child had looked just like me, or not, but after being surrounded only by Swedes this was a really cool thing to me. The locals there were so kind to us, and the moment they heard we were Iraqi they would become even kinder. It's as if they were grieving with us. It is sad that only 6 years later, everything would turn upside down for them and Iraq that used to be the most dangerous country on Earth in the 2000s, suddenly became more peaceful than Syria.
    4 years later after 2011, when the migrant-crisis in Europe occured, I would suddenly see Syrian refugees lined up in train stations, streets etc and each time I would think back to the time that Syria had hosted me and my family for a few weeks when I was 4, and now it's my home country's turn to host them. Not so long afterwards, my mother had to divorce and seek asylum for private reasons so she was placed temporarily in a refugee 'camp' in a very beautiful region. Me and my brother would visit the place and have sleepovers, and these were some of the best days of my life. There we would have breakfasts together with Syrians, go out and play football with the children and the teens of the camp and later have gatherings where they would share stories from their past lives. Tears would spill from them and my heart would break each time. I would often feel guilty and the enormous privilege that I had compared to them. The younger ones of the camp would be amazed at the fact that me and brother were born in Sweden and could speak Swedish so well. We quickly became popular in the camp as the Iraqi Arab kids who were too Swedish to be Arab and hadn't experienced shit lol.
    Last year, at the age of 18, I got a volunteer job at Red Cross and worked with refugee kids mostly from Syria, and there again they would be amazed about the fact that I was born and raised here and couldn't believe that I could speak both Arabic and Swedish so well. But due to that, they were able to feel a bit more comfortable about me being an Arab since the other leaders were Swedish, and they tended to share stories to me about their lives in Syria and how they arrived here. One thing that broke my heart to another level, again, was when we decided to do an activity with the kids and their parents. We had asked them to draw a picture of anything positive and then have them tell the story of that picture. One parent had decided to draw a picture of his old village beside a river back in Syria, and he started to talk about his happy times there. But even though he was talking only about the positive things, the sadness in his eyes was so visible that you would think he would cry at any second but he somehow managed to keep his tears back. For him, he was only glad that his daughter was alive and well in front of him. Both were so nice and were also very creative too to the point you would think they were artists! You could truly see that his daughter was his WORLD. During the last day of my volunteer job, even though we weren't allowed to accept gifts, they had bought us all flowers. I didn't understand at first that these flowers came from them and never had the time to thank them which I regret so much today.
    My heart goes out to all of you Syrians. I hope there will be a day where we both see peace in Iraq and Syria. Syrians and Iraqis tend to share a very special bond with each other and we are all brothers and sisters. I'm sorry for writing this very lengthy text that no one is gonna read nor care about, I just have a very soft spot for Syrians.

It is beautiful. honestly, I've never been in a situation where I witness war going around me and the damage it takes in person (obviously just news and articles) but somehow can relate to certain degree like how you have soft spot for Syrians. Back when I was a kid I'm always curious about my ancestors lineage and found out that I have Egyptian and Chinese blood in my veins even though I'm an Indonesian. Still, I've never had a chance to meet either Egyptian or Chinese long-relatives so It was really nice to know you had a chance to meet your Iraqi relatives. I'm sure things will get better from now on. Stay positive and have a nice day! Best regard, just a random 19-years-old girl passing by
