(Mount Qasioun overlooking Damascus, Syria)
President Bashar Assad of Syria deprived citizens of a favorite custom.
On weekends, many people climbed Mount Qasioun overlooking Damascus.
And they enjoyed roasted corn on the cob, smoking hookah and drinking coffee.
The mountain had been closed since the outbreak of civil war in 2011.
WE hope the Syrian people will be able to enjoy their new-found freedom!
