Benieuwd hoe snel de Syriërs iets gaan voelen van dat ‘politieke akkoord’. De mensen zijn in elk geval hoopvol, zag @vrancki.bsky.social in Damascus.

Fireworks burst beyond my window, their festive clamor scraping old wounds. In Ukraine, carols are drowned by explosions. This photo from Kryvyi Rih shows a Christmas tree under ruins. The world wraps itself in tinsel and cheer. I sit in its shadow, waiting for a miracle.

Although they were in prison, no one could concentrate on doing anything inside. The prisoners had beautiful hobbies, such as drawing. Look how beautiful and accurate their drawings were! 🥺
