Qardaha, hometown of the Assad family, faces uncertainty and fear after the regime's fall.
In Qardaha, the hometown of the former Syrian President Hafez Assad, residents, who largely lived in poverty despite the Assad family's wealth, hope they won't suffer from the family's downfall. Following the ousting of Bashar Assad, the elder Assad's mausoleum was vandalized with insults. Many locals sent their sons to the army out of necessity, and now fear for those who have gone missing. New reconciliation centers have been set up for former soldiers, but the community calls for a fair and peaceful transition.
