Details
At the beginning of September, the Facebook page Humans of Aleppo shared a message from Ahmad.
In the post, Ahmad explains why he chose to remain in Syria throughout the war. “Aleppo is part of me, I can’t leave it alone. I feel sorry that Aleppo is facing all this horror, but I can still breathe its freedom,” he said.
At the bottom of the post, the moderator of Humans of Aleppo explained that Ahmad died on the day the post was published, succumbing to injuries from a recent air raid that had also killed his wife. They are survived by their 5-year-old, their 2-year-old, and their newborn.
Ahmad was founder of East Aleppo’s media center and was a significant figure in the opposition. His death prompted a wave of tributes from colleagues and friends.
