In the course of the fightings the village of a few thousend inhabitants was almost abandoned as barrel bomb campaings commited by the regime pounded Koreen. But since regime forces retreated to few bases remaining in Idlib province people returned home to establish a new udn almost unregulated economic, social and community life. The regimes power has no affect anymore on them - a new government is not established yet and not in sight at all. Koreen is free to make its way.
