there's no limit to have a dream container, stuff in your own adventure, no counter and things. after 13 years of more and more than $350000.00 dead, syria is a shadow of its former self. with bush. are all assad gone at the start of december? many are now daring to dream of a different future on all these forces, and this is the street the 1st couple of days after the fall of the g. a very terrifying for all of us. only a few days,

the big pills ended. i've been also hearing the news ball and the next couple of days of oregon is that our house with electricity in damascus and cherokee is going to help other cities in the, in syria, also with us just as i think our water pressure doesn't work. if there is no electricity, once a year and a lot of houses to getting broken into sudden, most of an interruption, the actually really sees. and no one bothers anyone. and brandon, people for sending treating, kills, and problems and telling people what to do with to see how to where one of like, where you could consider a minority. like all we could do is wait and see if things can actually get to

where we want it to try. and we'll answer all those questions. noah's nyah ali, a residence of the moscow sharing her daily thoughts with us since dallas single facade 6 weeks ago. as the country sits at the cost of a new year, we ask syrians what a free, serious feels like. and the challenges ahead for that. let's go to the mosque was or joined 5 zillow, galia research, or who was displaced during the war, but was not able to leave the country. abdullah, can i please ask you for a glimpse of what life in syria is like at the moment? hi, lose. thank you for having. so 1st of all, a after the fall of the offenders, him from the here to december of 2024. there was a lot of concerns and fears on the streets and that is absolutely justified. normal . see was not the thing in syria to begin with, but the life seemed size of that was going to get a bit harder. however,

since we have seen the return of normalcy, however, a creation of a new type of north. the 1st, as you can see, where are here in center, damascus and major markets. it was called charlotte. and as you can see, it's bustling with life. people still have their worries, i'm their height of my head. however, there's also a space for home for the 1st time. so that is something that we did not have room for. as you mentioned, i have, for example, i could not leave syria in the past few years, however now and that as well. that was mainly because i was stuck in syria with the power steering and passports and had that kind of up. let's say general outlook that you could not escape the country, you know, and not be accepted elsewhere. however, now my hopes and the also many other syrians actually have a chance of being realized. so that is something new to you through it. and we've always on the board, we've got we have to keep our eyes ahead and focus on the kind of community that we want to have now just to come the kind of country that we got rid of after the

sides, the stuff me. i love the smile on your face as you're talking about hope it very powerful. and i know you don't want to look back at the country that was, but you lost a lot in the war, including your father, who was killed in the regime strike. can you tell us a little bit about what you went through over the last 13, almost 14 years. uh dr. re bombardment was too heavy on us. that of ours circuit families home and me and my father went to help. my father has a medical doctor who was receiving this on the hospital for most 50 days. however, as we were making our way to that to that families home. unfortunately, i show the pro right next to us and my father passed away almost immediately. afterwards i was displaced and i come from an active as background in my own city, whether in the process or as a citizen journalist trying to document what the south region prophecies work. so we move to a saw

a sort of move to the master squared aside from hold was. so i for i think a damascus and almost 20132014. i had to kind of keep under the radar. yeah, i was still in high school, but then by the way, so i had to sleep under the radar whenever i would press a tech point. i would sometimes they brought out of the car to be investigated separately. and the car move because i might be 6 out of that the check point, which happened to a lot of people actually. amazing. thank you so much. you did cover my question and more. and now for a more in depth look into serious passed under a saw, but also the future were joined by why the all could have a syrian filmmaker and activist who was displaced by the war for film for summer, received a bafta and was nominated for an oscar alfredo, a little, an activist and human rights advocate towards carried out helping underground humanitarian projects. during a sons' rule, robin ja soon cut off the co author on burning country syrians in revolution and

war, and the english editor of the ices prisons museum. and the officers as the director of this, and i, a prison detainees association, a survivor himself, was spent 5 years in detention there. thank you all so much for your time job. i would like to start with you. and with said, naya, amnesty international says that the prison held between 10020000 detainees, that 13000 people were executed there and the for 6 years after the uprising in 2011, the victims were overwhelmingly ordinary civilians who were thoughts to oppose the government many were held without charge or after unfair trials. survivors reports systematic daily meetings, tortures, starvation and horrible conditions. to many syrians of naya is a symbol of how brutal assad was. um,

i want to ask you about that because you were held there for 5 years. can you share with us what you went through and how that scarred you to yeah, actually uh, i understood it so it might be going from 2006 on to the 2011 at best buy. and if i say it's a at the present, that is a do you mind when patients they don't show but not of the 2000 and have enough stuff to 1000 live in the say, my vision is big game like this. every want to go there. you go to, this is not for the systemic, but just to can just look into died a lot of uh, this thing. i mean, a lot of, uh, people, we interview a lot of people. i'm talking about the situation. they have no food,

no music. okay. uh, in a d m s b a, a research on all of the numbers we see we, let's see that amazing can at least 50000 the time he is upset by that isn't a news of this. a body is also the use of all of this, the thing he's been a the then the game, what this people investigating you around the mosque uh the most the stuff to be solid and so you know, how is this? what about the so it's really, it's a very the story and now it's of stuff uh, up to 8 the some. uh, uh, not all the media out on the drum is go there and we see what happened and said my a good start. seeing how, oh this place it's, it's,

it's like really it's, it's, it's, it's not a lot of money but isn't, has nothing on it. it's really a discount. yeah. what we're looking at pictures right now, and it really is like nothing we've seen before. and by what you're saying, i'm gotten even worse. sorry. go ahead. yeah. just, yeah, there's a place for them, you know, showing, and this is, this is on the floor on the ball and no light, no good. what was the and also for the w. c on it's very, very, very has no, i mean this and this, these, you'll see a lot of the book in your, on the torture of the bony side here because there is no award to know for me to kind of get some be ok. the some of the code because also there is no

heating system and your costs. yeah. so this the 2nd one, this is one of the uh, what we call displays. it's a black hole of the from 20112000 the that is the something about a minute. it's became a whole no one a very, very few people. so what about this is that and obviously a stain bryce in, in, in syria's past we're gonna talk a little bit more about the work your organization does and, and what you're hearing from people who were detained and who survived, and after the 2011, but i want to also ask was about your film for summer is one of the most poignant descriptions i have ever seen of what syrian so we're fighting for during the revolution. let's take a quick look at a clip from it, and then i'll ask you about what happened to you,

the samsung to see them the, for the rest of the summer. so long to the phenomena, attention the

the after facing all that you and your family were ultimately forced to flee your country. and i don't think anyone can fully understand what that means unless they go through it. i want to ask you, what did a sod we're present to you? and thank you so much for us for having us. it's really hard to talk, start and listening to death because i think it's an experience we didn't even understand. and i don't think even until now, or even in the next 2 years, we would read and understand what i saw it better than to before or stood present under today. to be honest, like if it's just one month and 10 days combined. until that point, you know,

we were in totally different circumstances. different um like experience a life and now it's totally, it shouldn't be the other way around. you know, we shouldn't be happy today. we should feel like relief and it's definitely we are and there is no big space a whole but the drama that we carry, or there's a possibility that we still carry. you know, everything happened over all this years. i guess no one can really, even on our service understand the impact of this even, even, even recently, i think however, you know, i'm looking at all this picture of the terms of naya, on the farm and just up now touring around, you know, damascus and other cities looking for the ones item now and, and us as the difficulties was through our outside. i couldn't go back yet. so i think so many people still like me in this position. and you know,

we were trying to fight for the last minute to stay there we put in. so we have to be now we want to be back. but unfortunately, the communication around this situation, it's more complicated than we were. we even sold and you know, really why for yourselves outside, so it's not like you can just drop your life and, and go back. i understand that. yeah, yeah. but even if you want to do this, you know, for your paper work, it's not allowing you to go by. there's so many communication around, you know, like where to go about what's going on there, what's waiting there. and however, you know, like i think the whole with all of this congregation is the main kind of feeling we all have. mm hm. so we edge something of the serial before. like it, it wasn't possible, you know, before, before, december of 2024. uh huh. i alphretta, i want to bring you in because you managed to enter syria throughout the past

decade to basically smuggle aide in and to continue working in underground humanitarian project. what did you see happen under a saw it? i mean, now this is a country where 90 percent of the population lives under the poverty line. infrastructure is in shambles. why have you witnessed and what is going to stay with you in terms of concerns for the present and the future? the public dissertation of humanitarian aid and also the same health area was very, very obvious. especially oscar to earthquake and 2020 free, which is one of the biggest project. when i smuggled money, when i entered with the us dollars, basically, and not going through the governments on those of bringing in a me, and i remember how hard it was to access certain groups of the syrian population in love. talk here that were i the piece it was

a higher risk area of getting called by the syrian intelligence. um, it was the trick here to even gain the trust of the people when doing cash assistance. because the project that me and my friends that was distributing cash money for rent assistance to get people serious the agency to decide how to spend that money. mm hm. um and obviously secretary and i also played a huge role and got one of the reasons why i was able to constantly enter syria without getting the attention doctor took me even at higher risk was because i am part of the minority. i am a part of the christian, a syrian minority that gave me less attention and allow me to do these projects. and that is a fascinating end is going to be very interesting to see how that plays out in the future. because there are many concerns on the part of minorities right now,

and we're going to talk a little bit more about that robin. i want to bring you in because as we've been discussing here so many trauma is that are still being processed. we're going to take very, a very long time for syrians to actually come to terms with everything that's happened and obviously for us to fully understand the, the damage that was inflicted. but after 13 years of war, a soft felt in 2 weeks. were you surprised and tell, tell me a little bit about the present and the challenges ahead. can the new administration rule the entire country? well, that's 2 questions. the 1st one is was i surprised? yes i was. i mean, i got all the time, but i knew that it was, i'm sustainable. i knew that this regime had lost the trust of almost 3 and 5 population. even the people who are in previous years have been loyalists cited cold war bites. you know, december 2024,

almost all of those people had lost faith in the regime. it was by the economy had been destroyed, the infrastructure had been destroyed and people, there was not a future. united people couldn't see any future with this raising. so it was really held in place by russia and they have, um, i'm because both of those states, well basically i was wise, i have problems elsewhere. ukraine went this route. as a result of the whole thing fell very fast, may be the other fax to the final fax that was allowed. raising the whole very fast was that the rebels behaved in a way which was much more disciplined and much more politically intelligent than ever before. and that was the fact that i'm not comes on to your next question. you know, can be come free be this is that's something to look forward to. i hope so. i mean, there are numerous problems. there's almost too much to talk about the sudden much

to do. they beat the country has to be bro, i'm the one leadership at the moment, at least the culture of the country is still not on the one leadership and we still is trial advancing on one. possibly the country. turkey is presence in parts of the country. the p k a u b s b up there, all kinds of external our enemies. and then there are lots of internal tensions to bonds as i'd be the rebels. even though they have a questionable background at the moment, behaving in a very politically, i'm socially intelligent mamma by seeming to understand but by taught real syria by themselves. they don't have the manpower in the moment to rule syria by themselves . so by all working well with other people so far. mm hm. um. but that is definitely going to be a challenge going forward, isn't it?

i mean you have a fractured country by all measures d i. b, as i mentioned at the start, you created an association for survivors, all said, naya and you've been, i imagine talking to those coming out of the prison. and since assad fled, have you gotten a chance to encounter these people or the families of those looking for their loved ones? can you tell us a bit about the situation right now with all the survivors actually give them a the some, but i'm the purpose of the see if we receive around 4000 requests from the, from it is no. lo looking for the sun. but the husband, yeah. and what's the situation of and you will said of the volume of the, the, to release the, the news i'm doing now it's been, it's not stable. it's very bad because there is no, uh, no has got

a system good. no good. his good system and celia are the other than i lation and the vision, it's some the to, to, to, to make it to give the, the president, for this, the thing these, it is some of this, the, the any is have a problem with, with the about the with the whole with uh, what's the zip code to, oh my yeah. its really, it's uh, a very, very uh, very sad situation. but we want service. uh, people, we all with the how many is uh, talking to this uh to, to uh, to give you the voices. uh, and then you admin explanation. we should listen to the, the, the thing on the, because this is going to be a, a co show point to, i would say in terms of, of going forward and, and, and building. and you'll see a right to discovering the truth,

actually figuring out everything that has happened and, and naming the culprits and, and potentially accountability even though i imagine this is going to be a huge challenge. i am so sorry, we're almost out of time. and i want to get from each one of you a sense of the current challenges, but also your hopes for the future. very briefly, if you will. um the, let me start with you going forward. what would you like to see happen for a new syria to emerge? a yeah, and then you will see the we need no, no thoughts. i have no further disappearance and no one can go to the just talking about the someone and the government. yes, we need to stop all this thing. we need to, we need to know the names of that. they need to invest a buyer, but as a whole, i'll go there. and based on this here, this is what, what we, this is i wanted to be what, what about you, what are the main challenges right now that should be the focus of this

administration. and what is your hope for syria? i think and it's just one of the no problem in the country is no longer full for one family, for one name for one group. and it just a more cryptic free respect for the country for its own own people in an equal way . i think what we've learned over these, not just these 13 years, but also 54 years is like what the bennett do. we wouldn't, it wouldn't ever happen again, and that's where we, oh, it should be focusing on because there's a huge future ahead and we are or part of that. and so there's no way you know, we could live in a country again where 1st this appeared as or space meant or bombing. understanding is part of our present is the history. it's something we will never be able to come over or forget and we don't want to forget this or start today, but it was just this, me afraid. uh, what about your views as a minority?

as you said, what are your worries right now and what do you hold for the future of syria? i think my biggest worry is that the secretary and narrative that the us on authorizing has used to manipulate us will be continued now out of fears. so it is definitely a constitution dot very clearly states the protection of minorities and that includes language that includes ethnic groups and their traditions and to move on be. 1 so it's being reduced to religious minorities, but at the same time i also do hall, and i actually have to say, i am positively surprised that my community, the syrian community, as well as many other minority groups as so far as shown, a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of trust and hope but i do think for the large number of my.

1 ready to start have less level, sorry that have left syria and i don't need more than just promises to come back. and this is something that we urgently need because syria has lost a huge number of its minority groups. and we are an important part of serious tapestry robin the was and offered the thank you so much for being part of the stream today. and thank you all for tuning. and if you have a comment about our show, you can talk to us on social media, use the hash tag or the handle a g stream. and then we'll look into your feedback, take care. and i'll see you soon. the humanitarian crisis and 11 and calls for immediate and sustained action. ok, foundations loving, an emergency response subs as a vital lifeline for many in desperate need. your donations can play a crucial role in alleviating suffering. promotion community wellbeing and
