As 2024 winds down, voices from Syria are adding colorful brushstrokes to the global canvas of aspirations. Meet Hamza Abbas – a Syrian whose interrupted education journey and bold vision for his homeland encapsulate the resilience of a generation.
Hamza’s story starts with a 14-year pause: forced to abandon university amid conflict, he now eyes 2025 as the year to resume his studies. “It’s not just about my degree,” he shares, “it’s about rebuilding Syria’s future through knowledge.” 📚✨
But his ambitions don’t stop there. Hamza envisions Syria as a bustling Middle Eastern economic hub – a bridge linking European markets and Gulf investment. Think Dubai meets Mediterranean trade routes, but with Syria’s unique historical flavor. 🌍💼
This vision aligns with CGTN’s multilingual #Hello2025 campaign, collecting 1,001 global wishes across 81 languages. From Damascus to Delhi, young voices like Hamza’s spotlight how education and economic revival are rewriting narratives in conflict-impacted regions.
