I have the impression that this girl is moderately Pro-Baath party and thus Pro Assad regime. She is critical though. It is interesting to see her point of view, because it is different than the view of Al Jazeera, Al Arabya, CNN, Fox News, BBC, the Dutch NOS ( nos.nl/ : Dutch national news chanal [public]: my main source), Haaretz and even SANA (the Syrian Pro-government news agency, wo portrays the side of the Baath/Assad regime, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba and Belarus side) Let me make myself clear, I did not post this thread, because I endorse her statements or agree with her. She has a clear Pan arab, Arab nationalist, Arab socialist, secular Syrian branch of Baath party, Syrian nationalist view. I haven't.

Thank you for this series of interview of a Syrian girl. She is remarkably alert with excellent observations of her land and the people, and with this, a reason for every thing.
It is very understandable of your professional stance upon the interview as not of your opinion and shant endorse her statements, for this is your professionalism standing out. And this needs be respected...
She was in this interview, to describe Damascus, but not Aleppo in the people, but was very accurate in history of Syria. For it was through time, shaped and controlled by invasions of the Romans, Ottoman and French.
For as Aleppo, it is two cities in one. The old being the walled fortified city, ringed in by the new with various districts includant of modern shops as of Paris and out lets similar to that of the West.
Aleppo though, is close to the Turkish border and as such, is at risk from incursions from Turkish side. There are not that many primary road ways in Syria and as so, each is important in the manner of situation.
