The only thing «Disneyland Idlib» shares with its American namesake is the name.

The revolution failed, but some still believe in a new dawn in Algeria Algeria’s incumbent president won reelection last week, with official results indicating a landslide. Many young people don't care. They dream of a life elsewhere. But a visit to the closed-off country shows that some residents remain full of hope.
