Eight years under Hezbollah's rule: al-Qusayr today
2021-06-23
[ENGLISH.ENABBALADI.NET] Every time Abu Somer travels from Homs to Damascus while transporting vegetables, he tries to overlook a huge road sign erected 20 kilometers south of Homs, informing drivers taking the international highway (M5) linking Homs and Damascus, that they are approaching the al-Qusayr city’s junction.

Abu Somer described to Enab Baladi the feelings he develops whenever he approaches his city that he fled years ago. He said, "I make my car go faster when I come near the al-Qusayr bridge. My heart aches every time I pass that road."

Abu Somer was forced to leave the city of al-Qusayr eight years ago and could not return because the Lebanese Hezbollah militia established a headquarters in the neighborhood containing his house.
