Eight years have passed since the forces of Assad and Lebanese Hezbollah seized control of the Syrian city of al-Qusayr, turning it into a ghost town, its original residents are reported to be currently in the areas between Idlib and the rural district of Aleppo.
Al-Qusayr is one of the largest cities in Homs province, with over 80 villages and towns affiliated with it.
Abu al-Walid, a 40-year-old from the city of al-Qusayr who has lived for years in the Jander area in the southern rural area of Homs, said he had submitted a number of requests to return to the city, but has not received an answer so far.
Abu al-Walid added in statements to the American news site al-Hura: "I have more than 400 dunams of agricultural land in al-Qusayr, and I have not received anything from it for the past 8 years. It is cultivated and harvested by a man from the village of al-'Abiya, "He is very close to senior Lebanese Hezbollah members."
According to informed sources, the rate of destruction in essential homes and facilities is 85 percent, noting that the Assad government "has so far not moved a single stone, despite its repeated statements on the subject."
Samar Abu Uday, from the city of Al-Qusir, who now lives in the Arsal area of Lebanon, says they have received several promises and offers in recent years to return to al-Qusayr, but they have had no follow-up, and that "the future is vague."
