A thread🧵on how it began from peaceful protests on 1/7/2011 to a siege and a brutal crackdown on 31/7/2011.

#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.

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.
