I am in Homs in particular a neighborhood that was badly destroyed during the early part of the war. This is where many anti-government protests were happening that initially started the war. Many were protesting for political and economic freedoms. During the Arab Spring, initially the government allowed these protests before changing course violently suppressing dissent. The protesters started to fight back and that is how the Civil War began.
Neighborhoods like this in Homs were badly destroyed whether the people living here protested or were trying to avoid the protests. Unfortunately some people still live in these homes as that is all they can afford.
You have seen a lot of fun things in Damascus and other parts of Syria from me, but this is the reality many now live with in Syria.
