Cycling Through a Minefield

Every Friday, at dawn, 30 cyclists take to the streets of Damascus, riding through ruins and across the fault lines of a country emerging from 14 years of civil war. Among them are ex-rebels, former regime loyalists and foreigners drawn to the challenge of navigating Syria’s shattered landscape.

"These massacres will be forgotten. Just like the other massacres that took place in Assad’s Syria. Just like the massacres throughout history. The world will move on, and no one will remember that among the dead were civilians, that among the dead were men from General Security. There will be no trials, no reckoning. No need to prosecute such insignificant crimes — not when the course of nations is determined by interests, not morals."

"DNA tests should come with a billboard-sized warning. Because once you take the test, there is no turning back. If what you learn is life-changing or unwanted, there is no putting those facts back in the box and closing the lid. And maybe there can be no guarantee, either, that those facts will ever be expunged from the corporate record. You have possibly, as I did, unleashed the furies."

"And yet, Syrians persevere. They survived decades of brutal dictatorship, 15 years of civil war fueled by regional actors and, when the Assad regime finally fell, learned the extent of the systematic disappearances and mass executions that had claimed the lives of their loved ones on an industrial scale."

"The fate of an ancient language, once spoken by the prophets and revered by millions, may now hinge on a single individual and a small group of determined souls. Aramaic is more than just words, it is the lifeblood of a people and a civilization. Its survival depends not on destiny, but on the will of those who refuse to let it slip into oblivion."
