Lilly Martin and her son Steven Sahiounie have lived in Latakia, Syria for the past nearly 22 years. Both are active writers and observers of the (manufactured) crisis in Syria. In April, we met in a hotel in the relatively secure and surprisingly “normal” coastal city. Below is a chat with them, which I found quite enlightening, also disturbing, but particularly since they have the scope of having lived in the States and now in Syria for the past two decades, their thoughts are well-worth hearing.
Lilly maintains the FB page “Syria is my home“and provides important insights into life in Latakia in particular and in Syria these past few tumultuous years.

Not your typical mainstream media interview on Syria.
[…] This is a point Lilly Martin, who is from California but has lived in Syria for the past 22 years, drives home. [see conversation with Lilly Martin] […]
