All of us Chinese cannot wait any longer. Every day of delay will bring great suffering, disaster, revenge, social suici···
On April 1, 2001, there were crowds of people on Cavlanber Street that day. Ryder Fallis pulled out his Nokia phone and recorded a video. Although the video is not very clear, it still captures some key scenes.
After a long period of oppression, the Syrian people finally began to take action, and the story behind this is quite complicated.
At rallies, small flags can be seen being raised and lowered tentatively.
At that time, people were still afraid and worried about the arrival of the security police. From time to time, people would lift their feet and peek around.
This reflects the fears of people under years of dictatorship.
Over the past 40 years, the Syrian people have rarely shown collective resistance. Today, however, the number of rebels has swelled, echoing the town of Daraa. This is not only the catharsis of long-suppressed emotions of the people, but also the starting point of the journey of change.
The Syrian people are eager to break free from long-standing oppression, and they are beginning to speak out bravely.
The rally was attended by people of all identities, who came together to get rid of the ruling conditions at that time.
Such rallies are uncommon in Syria. It symbolizes the awakening of public consciousness. Although people still have hesitation and fear in their hearts, they have bravely taken the first step of resistance.
At the age of ten, Ryder Fallis witnessed refugees from the massacre in Hama fleeing to his native town.
This childhood experience had a profound impact on him.
In 2012, the Free Syrian Army captured the town of Jaffa Ambe. There, they formed the Revolutionary Presidium Federation in a small cement office.
The establishment of this federation was an important beginning of his efforts for change in Syria.
Ryder Fallis is determined to change the situation in Syria. He understands that such a change would be difficult on his own. Despite this, he still maintains a positive attitude and relentlessly takes action.
He witnessed the cruelty of war since he was a child, and became more determined in his future actions.
He hoped to lead Syria towards the bright future in his eyes, so in that small town, he relied on his own abilities to start carefully planning and putting into practice the revolutionary cause in Syria.
As Western countries' attention to Syria gradually waned, Ryder Fallis submitted the videos and pictures he had taken to Western government departments.
At that time, war was raging in Syria and the situation was unstable, resulting in heavy casualties and a serious shortage of food supply.
He hopes the documented death and mayhem will attract attention in the West.
What happened in Syria made him think that Western intervention might bring about a change, so he did his best to spread this information.
In order for Westerners to understand the content of the propaganda, Fallis used Roman letters to write propaganda slogans. In bold capital letters on the banner, he loudly called for Assad to step down and let people see clearly the evil deeds committed during Assad's rule.
He is trying to solicit external assistance through this move, hoping to use these methods to prompt the international community to intervene in the situation in Syria, thereby improving the domestic environment.
He had many creative expressions on the banners.
A satirical cartoon appeared on the banner, depicting Assad dancing with Obama. In addition, there is a scene of Assad appearing on the "Terrorist Talent Show", which is extremely ironic.
The banner was hung in a prominent place, with him in the center, and the end of the banner read "Syrian Revolution - Jaffa Ambe".
These works quickly spread widely on the Internet, and his hometown of Jaffa Ambe became famous and became one of the important symbols of the Syrian revolution.
These propaganda works are filled with the passion of resistance and reflect their dissatisfaction with the rule of the Syrian government.
The continuous dissemination of such information has allowed the Syrian opposition to gain wider public support and made more people realize the urgency of change in Syria.
In 2013, Ryder Fallis founded a new radio station that broadcasts in areas controlled by the opposition.
The address was chosen in an abandoned government building, which mainly broadcast news and music.
The radio station is facing difficulties. Jaffa Ambe is caught between two terrorist organizations and encounters many misfortunes.
The stations' progress encountered many obstacles, the most unexpected of which was their initial ban on having women as announcers.
Fallis didn't give up and used a computer program to manipulate the female announcer's voice.
Radio Fresh, although later declared taboo, was raided and shut down, with its equipment confiscated.
But provocative slogans remained outside the Revolutionary Presidium Federation and the radio station.
This shows that no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will never give up their determination.
Ryder Fallis said if they wanted to kill him let them do it.
He treated dangers and threats of all kinds with contempt.
He was determined to introduce civil society to Syria, which required him to stay in Jaffa Ambe and fight unremittingly. He would never waver in his dedication to his ideals and cause.
Although he encountered strong suppression from the Syrian government and Russia, and the Revolutionary Presidium Federation encountered many challenges, he remained steadfast.
Ryder Fallis’s struggle in Syria demonstrates his perseverance and determination. Regarding such a struggle, in the complex international environment, do you think it is possible for it to eventually succeed and thereby change the current situation in Syria?
