Quirico was driven in Syria by the desire of narrating both the rebellion and civil war as he directly experienced them. He felt nevertheless betrayed by the revolution itself since the revolution has changed its purposes overtime: «it’s not the Aleppo laic revolution anymore, it has become something else» he declared to the media. Then, taking part in Ballarò TV broadcast, Quirico revealed that nowadays bandits and profit had replaced early revolution’s militants and political ideals. 

Such a feeling is actually spread in almost the entire Western world already, a passive viewer composed world that has passively observed the Syrian crisis widening itself and affecting the whole world. Quirico’s story seems able to testify the Arab Spring myth is fallen. Thus, while international leaders quarrel demagogically each others claiming Syrian state’s sovereignty or abhorring over chemical weapons deployment, what is unlikely to change is common Syrian people suffering since they are trapped under the state army and fragmented revolutionary front’s crossfire.
