Someone asked me today where I was from and I didn't pause for longer than I should and I didn't hide it like a crime.
I said "Syriaaaaa!" in a weird positive and proud way, like we just won the world cup, only better! 💚

Wow people are too sensitive about me being labelled Irish that this took over the actual major event of a free Syria 😅 hope you never get to live the confusion of a dual identity! 💚☘️✌🏻
A Syrian-Irish writer has described the possibility of returning home to Damascus as “a dream coming true”. Suad Aldarra left Syria in 2012 with just two bags, and has since built a life for herself in Dublin where she wrote a memoir, 'I Don't Want to Talk About Home'. #Syria
I'll be speaking shortly about the recent Syrian developments with Rachel English @RTENewsAtOne
