World at One

Available for over a year

Five years on from the start of the Syrian civil war the Âé¶¹Éç's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet returned to the town of Daraa in Southern Syria where the first of the protests began. There she met a man whose mother left to go to Jordan, his brother went to Dubai and his cousin went to Europe. But they all "wish to come back to Syria... because they love their country."
