Also in this podcast, if every Syrian people will not take this risk, who will build our country? We speak to a Syrian refugee who's ready to move home.

I can live there without any problem. The electricity is coming back slowly. Everything has changed, but not 360 degrees. Now I'm starting to study if I will open a business there in Syria. And also I will start to open my NGO there to help women, to empower women.

It's interesting, you now feel confident enough to be able to open your business in Syria. Because I'm Syrian. If every Syrian people will not take this risk, who will build our country? If I will say, oh, it's a little bit risky, no one will build our country.

Kyllä. Mutta se ei ole vain tämä uusi hallitus. Asadin regioon meillä on sama tilanne. Mutta nyt kaikki mediat, koska uusi hallitus näyttää islamilta, kaikki ihmiset ajattelivat, että nyt naiset eivät ole vahvissa. Ei, ei. Ennen sitä myös Asadin regioon.

It has roots, exactly. There is people, they have like a fire inside them, because some of their family, they killed them.

In Syria it's easier for sure. When I'm cooking there, I feel I come back to my home. Even if my grandmother, she's passed away, but I feel all the old women that are around me, they are like my grandmother. And also the ingredients, it's the taste of this ingredient, it's like the childhood taste for me. It's like peace. Syrian chef Malakay Jazmati.
