Hey there! Important update 🚨: The Chinese embassy in Syria just issued a big warning. They've advised all Chinese nationals to return home or leave the country ASAP as things are heating up in Syria 🔥.
If you're in Syria, they recommend grabbing a commercial flight while they're still running ✈️ or crossing through land border ports 🚗. Staying put might expose you to high security risks and could make it harder for them to help you out if needed.
So, what's the buzz? On Thursday, the central Syrian city of Hama was captured by rebel forces led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). This happened just days after they took over Aleppo, the country's commercial hub 🏙️, in a swift move against President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
The clash between Syrian government forces and rebel groups like HTS is escalating, especially in the northwestern regions. It's a tense situation, and safety comes first! Stay informed and make the best decision for you and your loved ones 💙.
