Abuse did not end at forced separation. Fawaz, who was 11 when separated from his mother and grandmother, was sent with his two younger siblings to Dar al-Rahma, an orphanage in Damascus. There, he endured harsh physical punishments, threats, and was forced to work for long hours

Shockingly, a €1.6 billion international charity helped enable this machinery. SOS Children’s Villages, a respected organization funded globally, quietly complied with Syrian intelligence orders—accepting children from security agencies and concealing their existence.

Mohammad wasn’t the only child taken. His cousins Leila and Layan were also arrested with their parents, detained by security forces, and eventually transferred to the SOS Children’s Villages network—separated from their family, their names, and everything familiar.

At just a few days old, little Mohammad Ghbeis was detained inside the ICU in Damascus, his first days were marked by detention, not nurture. He was quickly moved from the ICU to an orphanage, and later to SOS Children Villages. All while his mother remained behind bars for 3 years

The first flight since the fall of the regime has just taken off from Damascus Airport, heading to Aleppo. It’s currently the most tracked flight worldwide, a testament to the significance of this historic moment.

VICTORY 🧵
Congratulations to every Syrian who fought tirelessly for this moment: the peaceful protesters, the Free Syrian Army fighters, the detainees who paid the heaviest price among us, and the heroes of the White Helmets who gave us hope in our darkest hours.

The citadel of Aleppo has never looked more stunning than it does today, Aleppo you breathtaking marvel!
