00:00Amr Yakan made the hard decision to leave a secure life in Canada and return to Syria.
00:15Amr is just one of around a million Syrian exiles who came back after almost 14 years of civil war.
00:28The challenges for Syria are immense. Volatile security, massive internal displacement, and a severe economic crisis.
00:46To this day, much of Aleppo is still in ruins. Amr wants to rebuild the mosque his ancestors founded.
00:58Amr is difficult in the new Syria, but Amr firmly believes it's the right decision for him.
01:12We have a war in the country. We don't have a war in the country until we leave the country and we're going to leave it.
01:18And now we have to leave the country. We have to leave the country and not return to it.
01:22There is no building, there is no building, there is no building, there is no building, so we have to be here.
