tales of the Syrian "revolution"


"ON AUGUST 4th Basheer Shebli was woken at 5am to hear men talking, in classical Arabic rather than his local Syrian dialect, of killing everyone in his house. In a panic, he and his family fled, his wife carrying their four-year-old son and their other two children, nine and 11, running behind Basheer. The fighters shot his wife dead and took away his youngest son."
