What is this?

The first #domestic #civilian #flight

In 13 years

Arriving at #Aleppo from #Damascus #Syria

The fire trucks are giving a water salute, a little impromptu ceremonial thing they do in the #aviation world now and then

An inspiration for hope for #Syrians for a better future

A blind man, Ahmed, carrying his best friend, Samir, a paralyzed dwarf

Samir served as Ahmed's eyes. Ahmed served as Samir's legs

Ahmed was #Muslim

Samir was #Christian

- #Damascus, #Ottoman #Syria, 1889

#Syrians: you are all in this together

World: we are all in this together

Another relevant parallel:

Samir was paralyzed because of #polio. Take note, new insane #USA government

Sad but bittersweet note:

When Samir died, Ahmed was besides himself in grief, and died a week later

This is Ragheed Ahmed Al-Tatari

He was arrested at age 27 in the 1980s by the #Assad regime

He is now free from prison in #Syria, here he is reuniting with his family

After 43 years

His "crime" according to that vile dead govt?

He was a pilot who refused to bomb his own people, fellow #Syrians in Hama

Years ago, there were reports that Assad's palace had secret rooms. I wonder if Syrians have gone looking for those rooms.
