Normal life is returning to many places in Syria. Children are going back to school, students back to universities. There are clean-up campaigns in different cities. Meanwhile, Syria’s revolutionary flag is being painted on walls and buildings across the country, while former soldiers in the regime’s military are being processed and handing in their weapons. Expatriates and refugees who haven’t been to Syria in years are also returning. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with The World’s Omar Duwaji about the situation in the country after the downfall of President Bashar al-Assad.
