6 years ago, at this time of year, Aleppo saw the most barbaric Assad bombing, Russian airstrikes, and siege. All hospitals were levelled, markets closed, electricity cut, no food no water, people were dying every hour. The world was silently watching. Image

11 years ago on this day 18/4/2011 the first sit-in protest was held at the new clock tower in Homs. This thread I'll explain how the peaceful sit-in turned out to a pool of blood of martyrs.

#WeWillNeverForget
On 17/4/2011, a massacre by Assad regime in the city of Homs claimed the lives of dozens of people. This sparked outrage, and next day, after funeral prayers for those who died, it was decided to stage a sit-in protest at new clock tower which was later known as Freedom Square.
People began to flock to the clock tower square shortly before sunset, and the area was completely crowded by the time the sun set. The sit-in was scheduled to last until the next day. Approximately 40,000 people from all over Homs took part in the protest.

The boy from Sinjar, true story narrated by a friend of mine - thread
I was driving when I saw a man with an 8yr old boy waiting for a vehicle. I stopped to give them a ride. Only the boy climbed in and the man who was with him left him. After I drove, I asked the boy "Where are you from?" he replied, "Sinjar (a town near Marrat Noman)".
I asked him again, "Why didn't your father come with you? The boy replied ,"Thats not my father but he is my uncle". So I asked, "Where is your father?"

He mumbled, "My father was killed by a barrel bomb while defending Al-Sinjar".
