Hey. I'm a fellow syrian, although im an expat now from Homs. Just curious: You mentioned something about armed gangs coming into your school and forcing you to join protests. What were these armed gangs (Government, Rebel, or Jihadist) and what protests were they forcing you to attend (Pro Assad, Anti Assad).

Also, did you just join the FSA as a smuggler, or were you a low rank fighter. Either way, were you in the Government army and a defector?

And finally, what does it look like for the FSA? With many more Jihadist and Islam-inspired groups appearing, is their hope for a more secular, not overtly-religious, future in Syria?

wish you the best.

thanks for the reply. yes, i thought you were saying that FSA rebels were coming to high schools and forcing kids to go to anti assad protests. That, i never heard of, and wouldn't make sense since at the time of the protests in early march-june 2011 there were no armed rebels.

But mukhabarat coming into schools sounds VERY familiar.

Just wanted to make that clear. Thanks, ta'ana 3la halak.
