The nightmare of the Azaz hostages is now over. The liberated hostages recount to Al-Akhbar memories of their captivity. Many vow they will never forget the words of the Lebanese president, who told their relatives: “Go to your own people [for help],” referring to Hezbollah and Amal.
On Saturday, October 19, the drama of the so-called Azaz hostages came to an end, when they returned to their homes, following a huge popular and official reception. In a few days, the media frenzy will probably have fizzled, but Mohammed Munzer, a man is his twenties, will never forget what happened to him and his companions.
