On this week’s episode we will be discussing the ongoing crisis in Syria with Kholoud Helmi.  Kholoud is a Syrian journalist and co-founder, editor and board member of Enab Baladi newspaper, which was established in 2011. While living in Syria, she witnessed violence perpetrated by Bashar Assad’s regime in her hometown of Darayya, such as the shooting of peaceful demonstrators,  arbitrary arrests and massacres. She was the 2017 winner of the International Association’s Courage Under Fire Award for the documentary Cries From Syria. In 2016, Marie Claire magazine called her “the bravest woman in the world.” Kholoud takes us through the history of Syria and how it got to where it is today. We encourage everyone to listen to her powerful voice and we are so honoured she wanted to share it on our platform.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beenthereseenthatpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/beenseenpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beenthereseenthatpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/75596377/
