Syrian conflict: The view from Golan Heights
Tourists fill the visitors' shop while next door in the factory, machines that resemble cement mixers and wheels churn rivers of white and brown chocolate. It is hard to believe that a brutal civil war is raging in Syria just three miles away from a factory that specialises in producing boutique chocolates. It is also hard to reconcile the apparent peace and tranquillity of this area with the fact that so-called Islamic State - or Isis - is believed to control parts of Syria that border Israeli-occupied Golan. The chocolate factory takes its name from Karina Chepelinski, a chocolatier originally from Argentina. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-06-20 |
