In this powerful episode of the Stand for Palestine Podcast, we sit down with Brother Abdussamad Dagul, a Turkish-German journalist who left everything in 2014 to make hijra to Syria.
For over a decade, he has lived and reported from the very heart of the Syrian revolution.
From the torture and martyrdom of young Hamza al-Khatib whose story spread on Facebook and ignited an uprising, to the siege of Aleppo (2016) under relentless Russian and Iranian bombardment, Abdussamad shares an insider’s story of struggle, sacrifice, treachery, and hope.
This is not just history, it is the untold narrative of the Syrian people’s resilience in the face of oppression, betrayal, and global politics.
🔥 Don’t miss this extraordinary first-hand account of:
- The journey from Germany to Syria
- The origins of the Syrian Revolution and the role of media in mobilising the masses.
- How ISIS deceived thousands and betrayed the Ummah.- The brutal Aleppo siege and evacuation on the infamous “green buses.”
- Iran’s Shia Crescent project and demographic engineering in Syria.
- The spirit of the Syrian people who, despite despair, turned to Allah and rebuilt in Idlib
Part 2 will continue with Idlib’s darkest days, the road to victory, and the Islamic vision that continues to drive the revolution.
