Many people's families have been killed. The last government was responsible. The people of those families, the relatives, they all came to Idlib and settled there. Let's consider a child who came to Idlib at the age of 10 and then grew up here in the last 15 years.
Now after 10 years he is 15-25 years old. Gradually, their rebel group became stronger. People from different parts of Syria used to come to Idlib. Their families were affected by the last government.
The rebel group was formed through their relatives and children. A month ago, the actual planning of how to control the whole of Syria started from Idlib. We have come to the mall. It is written here that you can't bring a gun, a shotgun, a rifle, or a grenade.
This is the atmosphere you get to see when you travel in Syria. We have found some kids here. Look at their faces. They must be very surprised. Are you from Idlib? Yes, we are from Idlib. Right now we are in Idlib. We are in the mall.
It is still early in the morning, so there is not much crowd. I was watching the videos of the Syrian people who came here earlier. Normally, this mall gets very crowded in the evening. You can see that we are in the mall in Idlib.
It is not like this in Damascus. According to Syrian standards, the mall is very good. Our guide was also not expecting to see such a good mall here.
In the old days, Idlib was like a desert. 15 years ago, when these people came here for the first time, they were surprised to see all the changes. All the things in the mall are in Turkish Lira. For example, it is written here that you will not find anything in 200 Syrian Pounds. If anything is written, it will be Turkish Lira.
You can see the prices everywhere. Everything is written in Turkish Lira and US Dollars. We have come to the fuel station in Syria. You can see the fuel stations here. Let me show you the prices of oil here.
You can see the prices of oil here. You can see the prices of oil here. This is the fuel station in Syria. They are selling petrol in Turkish Lira and US Dollars. They are not using it in Syrian Pounds.
What is the price of one liter? One dollar and sixty cents. One dollar and sixty cents, one liter? One liter. Oh my God! I am in Syria now. In Syria, the price of one liter is one dollar and sixty cents. It is about 130 rupees per liter.
This is the condition of Syria. You can see that they have so much oil. But look at the price. It is more expensive than India. It is more expensive than India. We have come to the central area of Idlib city.
You can see the new flag of Syria everywhere. Here is see this. They have came on time to attack Syria. They have come on time to attack Syria. As time passes by, you'll see that. As time passes by, you'll see that.
The Syrian Government came down. The Syrian Government came down. The Syrian Government came down. The Syrian rebels have controlled the whole of Syria. The Syrian rebels have controlled the whole of Syria.
The Syrian rebels have controlled the whole of Syria. So brothers, this is the environment. This city is dangerous, So brothers, this city is dangerous, as these were many guns deals. as these were many guns deals. and guns were so common, and guns were so common, to be used by someone.
And today, as you can see. But, today, you cannot manque someone of, which rebel this is, which government it's with which observers. Everyone looks the same here. So, it's difficult to understand So, it's difficult to understand who to talk to. Brother, there is so much noise here.
Brother, there is so much noise here. These 100cc cars, they make so much noise. Wow! Salam! So, this is the road. Before this, I took you to Dhanashah.
Now, we are selling some kebabs here. Now, we are selling some kebabs here. This is a local kebab shop. This is a local kebab shop.
And, I was hungry. And, I was hungry. Here, there is restaurant. Whatever you say. Look at their Auto.

And here in Idli, people are shocked that what is this guy doing here? On top of that, you get to see the hospitality. Here, because this region, you get to see a lot of mountains. Here, the sheep meat has a very different taste.
I will say very similar to what I have eaten in Afghanistan. Here, Kebabs are very famous. Again, similar to Iran where they grill tomatoes and serve it. He gave me a Kebab sandwich. And for this, I think, he didn't know how much to charge. I think, he is paying 36,000 Pounds.
Around 3 Dollars. As we ate the sandwich, my guide took me to a very traditional sweet shop. He told me to try this. Because, in this area, this sweet is very popular. And what do you call this? What is called this sweet? Shahabi Yach.
Shahabi Yach. Shahabi Yach. He is saying something like this. It is a very unique type. It is made with walnut and cheese.
He gave me this cheese one. Let's try it. Wow. It is amazing. You can see, there is cheese inside. And outside, there is syrup. And there is a patty-like
flavor. There is a lot of cheese inside. I found some oranges here. The oranges of Syria are very tasty. This is not for eating?
