Celebration across Syria after fall of al-Assad. syrian war news

Majd Shahoud, 38, of Homs Bab al-Sabah celebrating with his nephew Mohammed

How did the regime treat the people in Homs? It was cruel. Brutal, brutal, brutal. We had no electricity, no water, no internet, everything was a problem.

Yesterday we were waiting, hopeful, waiting for you, for the day when Syria can truly become Syria. Today is a happy day, it’s like a dream.

My Holmes, my soul, my life is Holmes, Syria is Holmes. We are the children of this country, we are one, we do not want anyone else to suffer.

My dream is that we can live without fear, not be afraid to speak out, like other countries that have overthrown their regimes.

Today I saw only tears on the streets. Tears, tears, tears. Now I see that Syria is really ours, now I feel that this is my Syria and when I saw them, God bless them, when I saw them coming… they have avenged my brother, my uncle.

Both of them are missing. My uncle has been missing for 14 years, his son is also of the same age, he went missing as soon as the boy was born.

My other uncle was killed at the doorstep of his house… Today I feel that we have been avenged.
