These women are not just names in the memory of the revolution, but rather a foundation for building a free Syria. Their struggle is a living testimony that change begins with courage, and that the new Syria will only be for everyone who dreamed and sacrificed for it.

Najeeb Halaby was a Syrian-American pioneer in aviation with an extraordinary journey. He was the first to make a nonstop jet flight across the US and led the largest American airline. He was also the father of the first American-born Arab Queen. How much do you know about Najeeb Halaby?

Though 9 points or one post is far from enough to summarize the frustrations of 3.6 million Syrians, this post aims to shed light and debunk a few stereotypes they are dealing with. It is important to note that the intent is not to generalize all Turks but to shed light on the experiences and struggles many Syrians face in the country.

Syria’s historical heritage was not spared the ravages of the horrific war that has spanned over a decade. Today, Syria’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites stand in a heartbreaking state of neglect. Each site boasts its own complex historical mosaic, but now all of these sites stand as silent witnesses of our ancestors’ stories, awaiting the restoration they deserve. Despite Syria’s endless cultural and historical wealth, UNESCO currently recognizes only seven of its sites. Due to the absence of restoration efforts by the government, and because of inadequate global support, these sites are in danger of being lost to the sands of time.

Over the past decade, a lot of attention has been directed towards Syria, the beating heart of the Middle East, which embodies a complex human story as it fights to maintain its identity in the face of conflict and political and social transformations. In this part of the world, life used to overflow with colors and holidays were filled with joy and brotherhood. However, things are different today, where holidays are looked upon with nostalgia and patience.

Perhaps the deeper meaning of holidays in Syria is the hope for reunion, unity and peace, with every passing holiday serving as a reminder that light is still shining through the darkness, and that life still goes on in the face of adversity.

Syria is home to a diverse and rich mosaic of cultures, and among them are the Circassians, an ethnic group from the Northern Caucasus region. Circassians have a tragic history of genocide and displacement, a history which led many of them to Syria. Despite this, they have a reputation for their regal demeanor owing to their pride in their unique heritage of resistance and deep relationship with their homeland. This is a brief look into their story in Syria.

From groundbreaking discoveries to revolutionary innovations, these Syrians became pioneers in their respective fields and left a lasting impact on the scientific community and beyond. In this post, we are going to briefly explore each person’s story.
