1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Can you tell us about the current situation in Syria?

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Well, Syria is divided under different areas of control.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The Syrian government is taking back the control of many areas.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:21,000
We can say that today around 65-70% of the Syrian ground is under the control of the Syrian government.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
I was there three weeks ago and I was reporting in different cities in Syria.

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I was covering the front in Yarmou, close to Damascus.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
I was covering the southern front on the border with Lebanon and not far from Julan and from Jordan.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
And I was in Palmyra and in Homs.

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
And, well, I could find very different situations in each city.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Palmyra is a city that has completely been abandoned by the population.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,000
It was just freed three weeks before my arrival and I was one of the first known, like,

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
known Middle Eastern and known Syrian people going there.

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
And, like, I could find a city in which there is no population anymore.

14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
And I could see how the terrorists, the Daesh terrorist organization,

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:17,000
was destroying the city in order to break every link between the future and the past of it.

16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Homs is a city that has not been controlled by Daesh organization by many other groups.

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
There were around 15 groups of rebels controlling it.

18
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:35,000
They were all radical groups and they were giving big problems, especially to the Christian community.

19
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
I was able to visit and I could report about the story of the Christian community that was oppressed by those people.

20
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Even when, before the war, there was absolutely no problem between Muslims and Christians in Homs.

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:59,000
And the great majority, the biggest part of the city has been destroyed, actually not by the terrorists, not by the rebels,

22
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:07,000
but mostly by the bombing of the government that was freeing, that was liberating those areas from the control of those terrorists.

23
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,000
While Damascus, in the city center there is absolutely no, absolutely the war cannot be seen,

24
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,000
but we could hear from far away the noises of the clashes happening in the suburbs of the area.

25
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And it was incredible to see how people in the city center were going out, were partying, were really happy and free,

26
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
even if in, like, just a few kilometers from us the clashes were taking place.
