This is how the time of our departure arrived — without our having a say in determining our destiny , without our being asked about what we wanted . Maybe some of us wanted to leave , but others wanted to stay in their houses and accept life under the control of the regime that killed , displaced , tortured and besieged us .
هكذا يحين رحيلنا دون أن نقرر شيئًا من مصيرنا ، دون أن نسأل عمّا نريد ، ربما أراد بعضنا الرحيل لكن آخرين أرادوا البقاء في بيوتهم والقبول بمن قتل وشرّد وعذّب وحاصر وهجّر .
