:00:30. > :00:37.He believes the reason why xoung men are joining the rebels is complex.
:00:38. > :00:39.It's a number of reasons that actually pushes them
:00:40. > :00:51.One is humanitarian purposes, two is the injustices that Syrian
:00:52. > :00:53.landscape, but also a sense of adventure, bravado and what they
