This is the Popular Front podcast with me Jake Hanrahan.

We're focused on the niche details of modern warfare and underreported conflict all across the world.

Popular Front is completely independent.

Today we're speaking to Ashur Banipal.

He is an activist running a channel and network that

focuses on Syrian Christians, most specifically some commotion, some persecution that is happening

in the wake of the fall of the Assad regime. He's going to be talking about what the Christians are doing to try and protect themselves from this.

You're going to hear some sectarian stuff, which nobody likes sectarianism, we don't,

but that's war, that's life, that's how it is.

Hear what he's got to say.

I think before we go into the situation specifically around Damascus and various other Christian communities in Syria.

Tell us a bit about your project, the channel that you've started, Syrian Christ.

What is that? What's it for?

So my channel, we began it with my team to show people what is going on in Syria,

the current situation, what is going on on minorities of Syria, mostly know, the current situation, what is going on minorities of Syria, mostly Christians,

obviously. And we will try, obviously, to help these people through projects like

NGO with people like some Greek-Levantine organization, you know.

And we try to gather Syrians in this telegram channel

to speak about the situation, how can we help, etc.

Right. And for those that don't know,

tell us a little bit about the Christian community in Syria.
