Syrian refugees in Beirut say they want to go home
Syrian refugees in Beirut rejoiced Assad’s downfall on Sunday, with some saying they are considering returning to Syria.
“After all these years of suffering, God granted us relief,” Hilal Youssef, a Syrian from Hama, said on Sunday. “We will go back to Syria with pride and joy. We got rid of this army. We got rid of the injustice that we lived before and freed Syria. Now we can go there anytime we want.”
“For sure we want to go back,” said Bilal al Khleif, also from Hama. Refugees will return “to Hama, to Damascus, to Idlib and all areas and chant ‘Freedom,’” he said.
