Syria's Damascus opens for first time since Assad's fall | DW News



Syria’s Damascus airport has reopened for the first time since the fall of president Assad. For now, the airport is only open to domestic flights. Officials are calling for sanctions to be lifted to allow Syria’s aviation sector to function properly again.

For more on this, we talk to DW’s Aya Ibrahim, who joins us from Damascus.

  1. Just one question, we have seen the toppling of dictators and protests over the last 20 years throughout the Middle East, which one of those have been successful with a flourishing democracy? And people actually believe somehow this time will be different πŸ€”

  2. How many of Syrians who lives in asylum in Western democratic countries are willing to go to their home land Syria, where sharia law has taken place? This is not rhetorical question btw ! Just think about it !

  3. Central bank still alive with less than $5.0 billion reserves and loads of foreign debt. Banks still working.

    State employees direct or vis state link firms. Petrol still available at $0.8/liter.

  4. Syria has been comprehensively wrecked by the USA allied with Islamists. Under Assad – for all his repression – it was prosperous and had universal health care unlike the USA. Now its resources and its labour force will be viciously but profitably exploited by the West.
