Hey brother, I take it that you are Syrian? How is the economic situation is Syria now? What about rebuilding all those cities completely demolished?
Salam bro, yes I'm Syrian. Don't want to derail this thread too much but unfortunately it is dire right now, it's at a very critical level where we are having trouble providing the basic needs and necessities for the entire population. 90% of our people are in poverty currently, there is extreme shortage in electricity and clean water, many couldn't get proper heating this winter and millions don't have access to safe drinking water, not to mention proper sanitation, medical care etc. The government lacks the funds and resources to rebuild and remain properly functioning at the moment due our resource poor state and lack of natural wealth.
Unlike Iraq, we don't have an abundant supply of black gold or any big deposits of valuable minerals that can provide a quick and easy influx of funding, and foreign investment is not exactly that enticed to rush in either because of this and the general security issues up until now. It also doesn't help that the Assad regime and their associates robbed us blind and funnelled billions of our money and wealth out of the country leaving us with nothing in the coffers after they fled.
So it's a significant challenge with no easy way to fix it, we are rebuilding but very slowly and still mostly in ruins. But at least we are optimistic things will eventually improve, even though it will take decades unfortunately, there is no quick remediation for our situation. This is why all Syrians don't want to get involved in anymore regional conflicts and geopolitics and only focus on our internal problems right now, we lost an entire generation and it will take another to get back on our feet.
Here's a quick pick of iftar in a suburb of Damascus, we still count our blessings and maintain our faith, our spirit remains strong.
