Baraa in Syria

In December 2025, Al Jazeera published a video diary by Baraa Obied, a Syrian man who was internally displaced during the Syrian war. The video documents Obied's return to his home in Damascus. One year after the fall of the Assad regime, Obied's diary illustrates the gradual return to normalcy in the Syrian capital. The video provides an on-the-ground perspective of daily life in Damascus as the city recovers from the war. Obied's account offers a glimpse into the ongoing recovery process in Syria.
