Civil war pair marry after 4 years hell
Maher and Amira A COUPLE torn apart by Syria’s civil war have wed after being reunited in their battered city.
Maher and Amira Samaan were split up for four years while President Assad’s forces and rebels fought in Aleppo.
Maher, who stayed in the blitzed city while Amira fled to neighbouring Lebanon in 2012, said: “War taught me to live in the moment.
“My niece was on a bus when fighters opened fire. Everyone was killed.”
The couple kept in touch by text message until the rebels were defeated 12 months ago.
Maher added: “The wedding was awesome.”
