Aleppo - The Last Farewell
At the first light of morning, evacuation buses lined up. Before embarking on one, I stood on a rising pile of debris, trying to recall a lifetime of memories, from my school days through to the current war and siege. I switched on my phone camera and started recording: “It is time to say farewell. Behind me are my fellow Aleppo residents, running for their lives, leaving behind not only their possessions, but mountains of memories. This could be the last farewell, Amro Halabi, Aleppo.”
