There are no obstacles on the road leading to the village of Jabourin located on the demarcation line with Om Sharshouh, a village outside the control of the Syrian government, except for the rugged nature and sniper bullets. From Jabourin to Kfarnan, the last village held by the army in Homs’ countryside, civilians have to cope with living on the frontlines of a fierce battle, with the villages of Om Sharshouh, Talbissah, al-Ghanto, Ezzeddin, Rastan, and al-Houla on the other side.
Jabourin – The graveyard in the village of Jabourin reflects the attachment of the locals to their dead, who are visited night and day.
As you enter the village, you are struck by the sight of a young widower placing basil on the tomb of her late husband who was martyred. And as you leave, your steps are halted by the tears of a bereaved mother who has just visited the grave of her late son.
In this graveyard, adjacent to Tel Jabourin, in the middle of the village, new graves adorned with flowers and photos tell stories of great sorrow.
Jabourin is a village of 2,000 people, 90 of whom were martyred. Half of its residents have fled to the neighboring village of Tasnin and Jab al-Jandali neighborhood in downtown Homs, after al-Nusra fighters took over Om Sharshouh, located to the north of Jabourin in Homs’ countryside.
