Five years ago, we bid farewell to Abdul Baset Sarout, one of the icons of the Syrian revolution.
Sarout was born in Homs in 1992 and became one of the most famous football goalkeepers in Syria after joining al-Karamah Club in Homs.
In 2011, Sarout led demonstrations in Homs, becoming famous for his distinctive chants that ignited the spirits of Syrians and sharpened their resolve.
Sarout was forced to take up arms and form the "Bayada Martyrs" battalion in 2012 following repeated attacks by regime forces on protesters and the siege of neighborhoods in Homs city, especially after the regime offered a financial reward for anyone who could provide information about Sarout's whereabouts or kill him.
During the years of the revolution, Sarout lost five of his brothers, his father, and other family members at the hands of regime forces.
He participated in many battles to break the siege on neighborhoods in Homs and lost dozens of his battalion's fighters. Sarout remained committed to the revolution and confronting the regime until he participated in the "Tal Malah" battle in the northern Hama countryside, where he was wounded on June 8, 2019, leading to his martyrdom.
|| A special military source in the Syrian opposition told Step News: Our forces entered the Al-Mazarib and Al-Sawaiq neighborhoods inside the city of Hama and are engaged in violent clashes with the regime forces.
The people inside the cities are majority Sunnis as well waiting for them to arrive. Apparently residents in Homs started fighting themselves too already.
How is that relevant? I dont know the personalities of everyone behind a twitter account. I am just posting news and updates, some sources are not Muslim at all.
Beside that, why do you have the sensibilities of a shia? You were slyly being Assadist but have an issue with Saddam Hussein? So strange.
