When Walaa was first on this podcast in episode 703 she talked about living in Syria as a student during the civil war (or people's revolution) but at that time she felt she could not talk in detail about the situation. Now that the Assad regime is no longer in control of Syria, Walaa feels she can talk more candidly about what it was like to live near Damascus during those days. Walaa's descriptions are both shocking and moving. This is the topic of this episode, which is part 2 of a two-part series.
