Replacing one mass murderer in another. What a hopeless place it is.

it was an incredibly painful thing to observe

I’m sure. It’s the saddest place I’ve ever seen. All the overwhelming destruction- and the thought that such a big part of the damage was caused by the coalition who came to liberate the place. You’re doing an amazing job.

@Elizrael has included some inconvenient facts in the report
The biggest scandal is that the US occupation forces' corrupt foot soldiers have seized 75% of the energy reserves of a Syrian majority and are unwilling to share this vast wealth with the people of Raqqa. -
Most Syrians, including myself, had no idea that Syria had that many oil fields and it was actually a net exporter of oil until it was taken over by ISIS and then SDF. Syrians did not see a penny out of oil proceed, all went to corrupt regime officials. 0%went to the budget.

Assad doesn't even have any money to do repairs. Your article doesn't make sense. Raqqa was the first city to kick SAA out. I guarantee that plenty of people there don't want Assad
