Honestly — how can we be of help?”
Earlier, Asmaand_wrote and her, complaining that “Doha is not a popular destination with Syrians at the moment!”
A month and a half passed before Mayassaand_wrote and_her again, saying, “in all honesty — looking at the tide of history and the escalation of recent events — we’ve seen two results — leaders stepping down and getting political asylum or leaders being brutally attacked. i honestly think that this is a good opportunity to leave and re-start a normal life… i only pray that you will convince the president to take this as an opportunity to exit without having to face charges… I am sure you have many places to turn to, including doha.” (MORE)
as if Qatar's shit smelled any better then Syria's. Their regime was just as brutal... just better public relations because they are Sunni dealing with the Shia... one almost feels for Asma Assad.
