Syria: scenes from life
Because of the war, the state, in fact, is divided into 3 parts, each of which has its own flag, power structures and the judicial system. President Bashar Assad’s regime maintains control over the corridor running from north to south along the Mediterranean coast, while much of the interior of Syria and the south-west of the country remain in the hands of the rebels.
