Aleppo

THE MODERN TIMES INTERVIEW: Elisabeth Hoff, WHO's representative in Libya today, wondered why Norway got involved and dropped 700 bombs on Libya in 2011: "It makes no sense at all." For 30 years, Hoff has tried to save lives in war zones such as Afghanistan, Syria and Libya. How can a human endure so much suffering?

ESSAY: The Arab Spring has mainly been a revolt against inequality. What was the result?

THE RANGE OF SYRIA: Yaser Kassab (31) is stuck in a gray suburb of Sweden.

SYRIA: In a simulated prison cell, in a basement in Oslo, sit three men from Syria. It is a strong political documentary.

The fall of Aleppo takes a hilltop view of the Syrian conflict and occasionally comes dangerously close to the drama in Syria's capital. 

How desperate can it not seem to try, as film directors constantly do, to get the world to act, and to end the war in Syria? We have met one of those fighting this fight.
