Behind the headlines: one man's insight into life in a Syrian city
Syria is rarely out of the headlines these days. The civil war and its casualties. The humanitarian effort to help. The mass movement of people to neighbouring countries and further afield to Europe. The diplomatic efforts at securing a lasting peace. The complex political and religious tensions and motives in the region which make an already complex situation even trickier. The destruction of ancient sites.
