Kafranbel achieved iconic status because of its creative protests

Syrian regime forces captured the town of Kafranbel on Tuesday following a bloody day of airstrikes, in what has been described as a "symbolic victory" for Bashar Al-Assad. This small town, which was virtually unknown before 2011, gained worldwide fame for its creative and satirical protests.

Demonstrations broke out across Syria in March 2011, but Kafranbel quickly distinguished itself with its huge banners featuring witty and sharp English-language slogans and caustic cartoons.

The town has been described as the "icon of the Syrian revolution" and for the past nine years has been a hub for civil activism.

Kafranbel has been associated with the original principles of freedom and dignity proclaimed by the protesters who took part in the first demonstrations against Bashar al-Assad’s regime in 2011.

The first protests in the town took place in April 2011 and -like elsewhere in Syria - were violently suppressed by the regime.
