My name is Mahmoud Aghiorly

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I am a volunteer translator with TED.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am from Syria,


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I am from the city called Aleppo,
located on the North.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This city is an ancient city

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Actually, it's been there 3,000 years

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but now within 4 years
everything's just finished.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Most of my places in memories and
buildings that I loved, are destroyed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then, just burned down,
or bombed, or just throwing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These places are not there right now

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We ... just .... so many stories

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but actually, it's very difficult for us

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he can't leave them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it touched me in my heart
