Syrian opposition starts restoration project in Bosra

DARAA, SYRIA - APRIL 30: The Syrian opposition has begun restoring historical sites including a Roman theatre in the town of Bosra al-Sham in Daraa, southern Syria, which were damaged during the country's ongoing civil war, on April 30, 2015. The opposition's Antiquities Department in Bosra al-Sham began supervising the project in coordination with the local council of the town. Bosra al-Sham council member Mahmoud al-Eissa told reporters that the project - which involves local organizations, civilians and Free Syrian Army soldiers - was aimed at cleaning and restoring the town's historic landmarks. "Some of the historical sites, including the historic castle, sustained damaged after they were taken as military bases by regime forces," al-Eissa said. (Footage by Stringer / Anadolu Agency)
