Syrians are returning to their war-torn homes in a former rebel stronghold
When Syrian grandfather Omar Kafozi returned to his home near Damascus after the ouster of Bashar al-Assad, he saw unimaginable destruction. Now pillows and plants illuminate the ruins she’s determined to call home again. “As soon as we knew… that the regime was gone and people were coming back… we sorted our things” and packed up the car, says Kafozi, 74, standing amid the rubble of his home in the former rebel-held town. a fortress near the capital.
