Years of reporting on Syria, the road to Damascus and the fall of al-Assad
Briefly

"On that fateful Friday in March 2011, as protests erupted over the torture of children, I witnessed the passionate call for justice echoing through the streets. It was a breaking point for many in Syria; chanting for their rights, citizens began to embrace a yearning for freedom in a tightly controlled regime, which had instilled fear within them for so long."
"Returning to the Omari Mosque in Deraa, I was overwhelmed by a sense of euphoria as I realized the al-Assad dynasty had collapsed. The people rejoiced in their newfound hope and freedom, a stark contrast to the oppression that had characterized years of conflict and hardship in Syria. The celebratory atmosphere breathed life into the belief that change was possible."
