Summary:

A report from Damascus, Syria on the state and future of the country. After Syrian rebels ousted President Bashar al-Assad from a 50 year totalitarian rule by his family and seized the capital of Damascus, the country hopes to begin recovery from an economic crisis and war crimes committed by his regime in this critical point in the nation’s development.
