“Revolution, oh my country,

a revolution of the free!

My country will be free forevermore,

And Bashar will flee!”

A song that echoes in Zabadani, a city located in the countryside of Damascus. The melody of which was repeated by the women of Zabadani, whose demonstrations were not only against the political regime, but also against the traditions and costumes of a conservative society that the revolution helped them overcome.
