Ecco perché si scappa dalla Siria: il drone sulla città di Homs (video)

Un drone ci mostra la città fantasma di Homs, diventata da due anni circa una roccaforte dello Stato Islamico.

Il video, pubblicato da Russia Today, mostra la devastazione totale dell’antica città della Siria, risalente al 2300 a.c., in epoca romana nota come Emesa. Homs, terza città della Siria, con una vocazione industriale, è ora distrutta e disabitata.

Homs prima della guerra.

A general view shows the Waer neighborhood in the central city of Homs, Syria on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2015. Once Syrian opposition fighters start pulling out of the last rebel-held area of Homs this week, the city once known as the "capital of the revolution" will return fully to government control. But its inhabitants have only been trickling back and many neighborhoods are still ravaged and deserted _ a sign of the enormous challenges the government faces in reasserting its authority over areas once held by the opposition.
