Pierre Le Corf, the founder of the We Are Superheroes humanitarian organization spoke with a group of Syrian youths in Aleppo in an open live interview, which he streamed on his Facebook page for everyone to watch. The group spoke about what is actually going on in Syria and how the war has affected their personal lives.
As an opening question, Le Corf asked every individual in the group, which consisted of five boys and one girl, to describe the most difficult moment that they lived through during the war.
“The most difficult thing that we lived through in this war is when our close friends died for no reason. We used to live in a very peaceful way before. It is very hard to realize that we don’t have our close friends with us anymore,” 16-year-old Aladdin said.
“My house got bombed like eight times on the same day. We were very scared; my mom started crying. We were hiding in the basement and it was very nerve wrecking. That was a year and half ago. We are okay now,” said Shehed, a 16-year-old girl.
The other members also shared their most difficult moments, which included fleeing their homes and losing family members.
Talking about how the war had affected their education, whether they could keep going to school, the group said that they kept going to school because they had to survive.
An older boy from the group, 21-yearsold Amin, said that during the first year of war he was in his first year bachelor program at university.
“There was no food, no water, no electricity, no fuel, there was nothing. But eventually we started going to school,” Amin said.
Le Corf then asked the group to share what they think about their government.
“Our government is one of the best governments in the world. Most of the things you see about our government is totally wrong. There are good and bad things but our government won’t hurt us. We are not forced to stay here, if we want we can leave but we are still here. People who left, left because of terrorists not because of government,” Amin said.
