This is the unfortunate reality of Syria in 2024

I am in Homs in particular a neighborhood that was badly destroyed during the early part of the war. This is where many anti-government protests were happening that initially started the war. Many were protesting for political and economic freedoms. During the Arab Spring, initially the government allowed these protests before changing course violently suppressing dissent. The protesters started to fight back and that is how the Civil War began.
Neighborhoods like this in Homs were badly destroyed whether the people living here protested or were trying to avoid the protests. Unfortunately some people still live in these homes as that is all they can afford.
You have seen a lot of fun things in Damascus and other parts of Syria from me, but this is the reality many now live with in Syria.

Some things never change…my grandfather and his family left Homs in the 1920’s bound for Juarez, MX, due to Turks throwing them out.

I have a genuine question, as an American what made you come to syria

Yes, it's a genuine question.

Thanks to the Russians, syria still remains on the world map.

3000 Lira prior to the war, was 60 $..
That would get you a very fancy 4 stars (even 5 stars in some seasons) Hotel in damascus.
To get decent hotel room at that time, you would bay 500 Liras (for a 3 stars hotel room) with breakfast.
Once I bayed 200 Liras for a hotel room (no breakfast of course).

[@issarihani]

Aren't there any agendas to do something in this empty area where who destroyed it have future agendas to do something there or maybe divide syria into smaller countries

[@CsalbertCs]

Interesting thing about Homs is that Orb international did an independent poll that showed 52% of the population supported the government, so a big minority was able to cause a lot of division and fighting. A lot of the Eastern provinces and Idlib were a strong majority against the government, whereas Damascus, Latakia, Tartous, Hama, Suweida were strongly pro-government.

[@RexRondo]

I remember at the time lots of people from Syria saying many of the people instigating the uprising were foreigners who had showed up relatively recently. From the beginning the rebels were largely made up of Al-Qaeda affiliated groups, hardly an organic revolution of the people like the media portrayed it. And yes like you said, most of the support against the government was in the rural east, but a majority of the population in the western cities was on the side of the government.

@@RexRondoSeems very weird for a whole country to be plunged into war by foreigners

[@Masalmeh321]

Yeah no this is complete bs. You listing Hama as being very pro-government laughable at best.
There are multiple videos where 60+% of the population of Hama are gathered in one place to protest. Background is that Hama had long been one of the cities in Syria where opposition was the hardest quashed including 40,000 killed in one month in a massacre in 1982. To paint them as pro-Assad is hilarious.
