It
will be written in the history books and generations will remember,
that Syria never closed it’s borders for those who fled their homes
seeking safety and refuge.
Syria
has never asked any Arab for a Visa to enter it’s lands whether it
was a visit or permanent stay.
In
Syria not a single tent was put up on the borders to accommodate for
refugees across the years, houses were opened, streets were vacated
and cities were renamed to allow for refugees to feel at home.
Let
it be written in the history books and let the generations remember,
that when a Syrian needed help and refuge, borders were closed and
the world looked away.
