From Aleppo in ruins to the Deir ez-Zor’s last bridge: Syria seven months after Assad’s fall

It has been seven months since Bashar al-Assad was ousted from power in Syria, thrusting the country into a new era after 54 years of rule by the Assad family. France 24’s Wassim Nasr was able to travel across Syria over a ten-day period to see how the country has changed and the challenges that still remain. He not only visited major cities such as Homs, Damascus and Aleppo, of course, but also very difficult-to-access areas including Manbij and even Deir ez-Zor, off limits to most reporters since Assad’s fall.
