Omar Hassoun
Omar Hassoun is a 35-year-old electrician from Kafr-Sousah, a district in Damascus. Following the downfall of Bashar Al-Assad's regime, he has transitioned from a life of concealment to embracing newfound freedoms, including marriage and reconnecting with family. Having previously spent time in prison for participating in anti-regime protests, he reflects on his harrowing experiences as a former soldier forced to fight against those he sympathized with. The challenges of his past linger, especially the loss of family members whose fates remain unknown after being detained in Saydnaya prison. Today, despite the stark contrast between the dilapidated housing in his community and the upscale buildings nearby, Omar's story symbolizes a fragile but hopeful recovery in the lives of many Damascenes.
