Civilians must be protected and respected, always.

Parties to conflicts are the only ones with enough power to enforce the rules of war, transform them into reality, and save lives.

"I am preparing myself for the new school year. I water the flowers that my father planted near our tent every day before I start studying. Their sight is really beautiful, and I don't want them to wither. I also water the okra that my mother planted. She picks some of it and cooks a delicious meal for us. My father says that these flowers remind him of our home in the village, but I don't remember much because we left it when I was young, and it's been 7 years since we left. I love my school, and I continue my education here in the camp. I hope to grow up and return to our farm in Umm al-Khalakhil, south of Idlib's countryside. Our house there was destroyed, and we were displaced from it."
Ghayath Akram Ma'mou, lives in the Al-Muthanna displacement camp in northern #Idlib. In the face of over 12 years of war by the regime and Russia, we share a collective hope for a dawning of a bright future for children in #Syria. A future where they can reclaim the rights to peace and safety that have been unjustly stripped away from them.

This is incredible. A snowball fight filmed by cinema pioneers the Lumiere bros in France, 1896. It's been colourised and had the speed adjusted.
