I moved to the city of Al-Bab in northern Syria where I work in the field of training and teaching.

We will remain free and return honorably to our country

 

I am from the Damascus countryside, born in 1976, and I was displaced from Eastern Ghouta after the last campaign by the Assad regime and the Russians against Ghouta on Sunday 25/03/2018. My personal vision is that Syria is ours, even if our absence is long.

I am from Hama, born in 1979, and I was displaced from Hama in 2013 after being wanted for security forces with some revolution activists. I lived in several places in northern Syria, the last of which was now in Al-Bab. I work in the field of trading in addition to participation in revolutionary and relief activities to serve the displaced Syrians. My personal vision is that the return to our original cities and regions will not take place until after the regime is overthrown and the security services that control the state and pursue any opposition activist are eliminated.

I am from Damascus, born in 1983. I was displaced from Jobar to Eastern Ghouta as a conclusion of the battles that took place between the Revolution forces and the Assad’s sectarian militias in 2012, then I moved to northern Syria in 2013 and then to Istanbul in Turkey to help in securing the needs of the revolution and represent my district in Damascus provincial council, in addition to my work in the field of Trading. My personal vision, in short, Syria is for the Syrians, not for the Assad family.

I am from Damascus Countryside, born in 1986. I was displaced from Eastern Ghouta on 01/04/2018, after the Syrian regime’s campaign against Eastern Ghouta, which was ended by the displacement agreement against the people who refused to stay under the Assad’s regime. So I went to northern Syria, to move to live in a city Mainz in Germany, where I work as an activist in the field of women's empowerment and support. Seven years of siege and death by all kinds of weapons by the Assad regime. Nevertheless, we have stood strong because we believe in the goals of our revolution. But after the regime’s campaign against Eastern Ghouta, two options were imposed on us, either displacement towards northern Syria or staying under the regime that used all means to eliminate us. I chose to move to the north without any clear vision for the future except to escape from detention, which I will be subjected to if I remain in Ghouta. All areas in Syria that preceded us in making reconciliations with the Regime are witnessing on the regime's killing of activists and arresting the people. My personal vision is that it is impossible for me to think of returning if this regime and its security forces still in power despite all the pain that I live in now, far from my country and my family.

I am from the Damascus countryside, I was born in 1988, and I was displaced to northern Syria according to the displacement agreement signed in Eastern Ghouta in March 2018 as a conclusion of the most violent military campaign on the besieged Eastern Ghouta for years, then I moved to the city of Caen in France. My personal vision is that returning to Syria is a goal we strive to achieve, and it can only be achieved by changing the regime with all its personnel.

I am from Hama, born in 1979, and I was displaced from my city, Taybat Al-Imam, on 5/11/2012, due to fear of security threats of arresting me and my husband again, after detention for nearly a year, on the accusation of helping the rebels and providing them with free medications and also on the accusation of communicating with media channels. Our destination was Turkey, which we did not complete one year in until we returned to the liberated northern Syria. I live now in Binnish in Idlib countryside. I worked as a pharmacist in a care health center for five years, and also an activist in the field of women's rights and gender-based violence for two years, and I am a board member of the Syrian Commission for Family Affairs. My personal vision is that at the present time we cannot return as long as Assad and his regime are still in power, because we are among those who demanded freedom of opinion and other simple human rights, what opposes the regime’s corruption. We will not be able to return until Assad is also sued for the crimes he committed against the Syrian people. Our role, as displaced Syrians, is not to remain silent about our right to return because no right dies when a claimant stands for it. We will not leave any opportunity for media appearance or contact with international officials without demanding the right to return and sue Assad. We call people of different countries to stand with us to get our rights, we are the people of Syria, so we will not give up our rights, no matter how long it takes.

I am from Damascus, I was born in 1989, I was displaced on March 25 2018 after the regime and Russian forces took control of it.

I am from Damascus countryside, I was born in 1981, I was displaced on April 28 from Eastern Ghouta, then I moved to Istanbul, Turkey, where I work as a press editor. My personal vision of the return is that it is not possible with the existence of the “Assad” regime.

I am from Hama, born in 1985, and I was displaced from Al-Ghab Plain in the last displacement in 2018, due to the sectarian militias of the regime's control over the region, and I currently reside in the city of Idlib, where I work in the Syrian Civil Defense. My work in SCD gave me the chance to witness the horrific massacres that the regime has carried out in the countryside of Hama over the past eight years. I see that the regime that brutally bombards its people and displaces them to everywhere, the regime that destroyed the infrastructure of the country, which requires a maximum of 50 years to heal, is unreliable and we can’t return to the lands it seizes by the assistance of the forces of other countries, this regime that does not allow humanitarian organizations to enter its prisons to count the number of political prisoners and to exercise their horrible condition, therefore my personal vision is that there is no return under this criminal regime.

I am from Deir Ezzor, born in 1962, and I was displaced from Al-Mayadin in September 2017 when the regime and its militias attacked the city, whose population of more than 100,000 people was all displaced during that period, and all the residents of the province were displaced, then I moved to live in Turkey, in Urfa city, where I work as a writer on some websites, in addition to being a member of the General Secretariat of the Syria Declaration for Change, a member of the Executive Office of the Revolutionary Political Commission for Deir Ezzor Governorate, a member of the Political Council of the Revolutionary Association of Deir Ezzor Governorate, and a member of the Free Writers Forum. My personal vision is that there is no return in the presence of the Assad’s regime, and the return becomes available, voluntary, dignified, and safe only when the Assad’s regime falls. My role as a displaced Syrian is to use all available means in order to achieve a dignified, safe and voluntary return for me, my family, and all Syrians. All Syrians must use all available means to achieve this return.

I left for Turkey immediately, and after a month of my arrival, I made sure that the Air Force Intelligence had already distributed my name on all border crossings with the aim of re-arresting me upon my return. I currently live in Istanbul, where I work as a resident fellow at the Omran Center for Studies. My personal vision is that the return should be after realizing a real political transition in accordance with international decisions that will achieve a safe environment considered crucial to a safe, dignified, voluntary, and sustainable return in which people return to their original places from which they left. Voluntarism means freedom for people to return or stay where they want.

I am from Damascus countryside, born in 1970, I was displaced from my city in December 2016. After that, I moved to live in London, where I work now as a business consultant. My personal vision is that the right of return is like the right of life, both related to human dignity.

I am from Hama, I was born in 1984. I was displaced from the city of Hama in 2015 to join my husband, who was displaced from the city of Hama in 2012 due to the fear of security arrest of him and everyone who is active in the Syrian revolution. Then we moved to live in the city of Kafr Zita in the countryside of Hama until we were displaced from it when it was occupied by the regime and Russian militias in 2019, to move to Hatay in Turkey, where I work as a volunteer at the Bader Center, a volunteer at the “Hama Media Office”, an advocate for the Women Survivors Organization, and a member of the Council of Free Syrians. My personal vision is that I will return to my city, Hama, when it is liberated from the Assad regime and its militias, and we will continue our revolution until victory. Our role as displaced Syrians is to continue the revolution and the civil work until we achieve our goals in a safe return and a decent life.    

I am from Damascus, born in 1991, and I was displaced from my city in January 2015 after being arrested for a year due to revolutionary and humanitarian activities within the city of Damascus and its countryside, then I moved to live in Gaziantep in Turkey, where I work in a non-profit organization in addition to being an activist in the humanitarian affairs.

I live recently in Gaziantep, and I work as a freelance, in addition to being a member of Palmyra Coordination and the Homs Provincial Council.

I am from Aleppo, born in 1980. I left the liberated areas in Aleppo on 18/04/2016, and I could not return because of the siege imposed by the Syrian regime and its allies on the city. So I moved to live in Gaziantep in Turkey, where I work as a director of planning in the Syrian Interim Government. My personal vision is that return is now impossible due to the new demographic reality, the lack of security and basic services, and the delay in implementing a political agreement. Return becomes available when creating a safe environment for the voluntary and dignified return of the displaced. My role in achieving the return is to continue my revolutionary struggle and to demand the fulfillment of the conditions for return. As Syrians, we should not surrender to any element of the current political process without addressing one major issue, which is creating a safe environment for a voluntary and dignified return. There is no constitution, elections, and reconstruction without it.

I am from Hama, born in 1992, I was displaced from the city of Hama at the beginning of 2014 after I was arrested by the security forces. This prompted me, after getting out of the prison and the completion of treatment from the effects of torture, to flee from the city to northern Syria, where I now live in the city of Idlib. I cannot return to my city, Hama, under the control of the army and security forces, and after the prosecution of all activists and opponents of the policy of repression there. My personal vision is that returning to our original areas and home towns will be available after the criminal regime is over with all its militias. Our role as Syrians is to stand up in the face of all challenges and difficulties and cooperate together to convey our voice and reach our goal by bringing down the regime and returning to our regions, and I work hard in various means available to me to fight injustice, I am the son of the Syrian revolution, she gave me birth and I seek her success.
