After 14 years since the fall of the Baath regime, Syrian journalist Dima Izzedin returned to his country and broadcasted from Damascus, where he couldn't hold back his tears during a live broadcast.
After the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, Syrian citizens who had been away from their country began their journey back home. Syrian journalists who had been exiled from their homeland and had worked in various channels for many years also reunited with their country. One of the journalists who returned to his homeland was Dima Izeddin.
OVERCOME WITH TEARS
While recounting his experiences, Dima couldn't hold back his tears, saying, "For the first time in my life, I am in the capital of Syria, Damascus. I am returning to my country, Syria, to Damascus. After 14 years of exile and deprivation. This is not a story of a test. It is the story of most journalists abroad, in fact, the majority of them."
"THE WHOLE WORLD'S SCREENS WELCOMED US"
Dima, who said, "The whole world's screens appreciated us," added, "All the newspapers in the world welcomed us. But we were in Syria. However, Syria was the lion. We were threatened, we were forced, we were expelled. We lost our existence in this country, which means very little to us. I thank all Syrian journalists, may God bless you. We entered after the fall of the Assad regime." He struggled to finish his words.
