Some Freedom For Syria By Samih Chouheir

Syria as a state is having crisis right now, but the people had seen those much earlier. Samih Choukeir saw them early one and sang for the fallen. He was a lone voice in his country who dared to sing a song that criticized the regime and its practices. As more celebrities join the cause of Samih, he is no longer alone.

While most singers and dancers in that country never shied away from offering support to the Assad, now many of them are changing gears. Here's a song from Samih about the freedom that he can see. We are so close, he says. All the scarifies are paying off now. This is a bold song, let's hope that freedpm indeed materializes for that beloved country.

What I do not know is this, does Samih actually live in Syria, if he does not how long has it been since his last visit? If he does live in Syria, how does he find safety?
Arabna, Samih Choukeir.
قربنـا، سميح شقير
