Syria today - June 2023

Описание: "Today Syria remains under sanctions, no western embassy is open except for the Vatican's, and the country remains occupied by Turkish, American and Israeli troops. A piece of NATO, a piece of the Abrahamic Pact, a piece of Russia, a slice to the Kurds and one to the jihadists of Idlib: this is how the Syrian cake is sadly divided" from the article https://ilmanifesto.it/il-lugubre-lun...
by Alberto Negri, an Italian journalist and writer, expert on the Middle East.

In the midst of this luna-park there are people, the Syrian people. This is what I want to tell of my journey: people trying to rebuild, in every sense, normality.
Syria was, until twelve years ago, before the civil war, the interest of foreign powers and jihadism, visited by 6 million tourists. Tourists who came from all over the world to see one of the places where human civilisation was born. To visit Syria today, you need to be part of an organised and government-authorised tour, and obtain an entry visa. We left Beirut in the direction of Damascus. We passed through the Lebanese border controls and, after a few kilometres, we found the Syrian ones. It was then that our journey began.

I would like to thank my fellow travellers, in particular Joanna, who acted as my interpreter, and Luca, who provided me with photos and videos of Palmyra.
