The Syrian star Bassem Yakhour shared a video on his Instagram account, showing himself strolling in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Many of Yakhour's followers and colleagues interacted with the video, including Syrian artist Shukran Murtaja. Numerous comments were made on the video, mocking recent statements by Lebanese journalist Nidal Ahmadieh, who expressed her annoyance with a Syrian refugee working as a vendor in Lebanon after he did not recognize the "Chocolate Mo" she ordered. The conversation between them escalated as she responded with "Lebanon is a Syrian province."
