My friend from Madiq Castle, #Syria just returned to check on his home since he was driven out by regime forces 5 yrs ago. What he told me I think says a lot about Syrians. What they’ve gone through, the love of their country, & perseverance. He said I could share. Stick w/ it🧵
“My house was totally looted. They took the windows, doors, ceramic tiles but thank God it isn’t totally destroyed and has the roof. Most of the roofs & walls are gone on other houses. They also cut down all the trees.”
“It was as if the Tatars and Mongols passed through Madiq Castle”
“in 2022, I saw a beautiful seedling & dwarf lemon tree that I liked. I went brought them to the camp & planted them in a pot.” (For context, he & his beautiful family have been displaced in Idlib for 5 yrs.)
“Whenever people ask me why I left them in the pot & didn’t plant them in the camp, I told them that I would plant them in Madiq Castle when I returned, I bought them for this reason. I didn’t lose hope of returning despite all the fear & oppression that we were living in” #Syria
