The jubilation that came with the unexpected fall of Syria’s Assad regime has been accompanied by great uncertainty for Syrians worldwide. UNHCR reports that more than 14 million Syrians have been forced to flee their homes since the civil war began in 2011. Many Syrian refugees and expats are now considering whether to return to their homeland including Sydney based Mohammed Al-Hamwi who plans to return to Syria for the first time in 40 years.
