I can tell you that, in general, it's not only in eastern Ghouta, because this issue is all over Syria. It's not only the suburbs of Damascus but the suburbs of other cities.
One thing I think the world needs to know about this area is that those people were living together long before the Syrian regime took control over the country. Those people are neighbours. They're sometimes families. They have farms together, and they have a lot of business together. There is really no division among ethnic cultures. They live together, and they've always been integrated together.
The Syrian regime has really tried to create a wedge between ethnic groups or religious beliefs so it can leverage some other minorities to join it. There is really no difference between them. I lived in Damascus for years. I have friends from all aspects of Syria, whether Christians, Ismaili, Druze, or Alawite. We went to class together and we partied together. We were old friends. This does not exist. I think it's just the Syrian regime really pushing on this point to gain leverage against the majority Sunni people.
