This stamp is dedicated to Ibrahim Hananu, a prominent leader of the Syrian Great Revolt and a symbol of the nation’s unwavering resistance against colonial rule. The portrait features Hananu in a formal suit and a traditional fez, bridging the gap between his role as an educated urban statesman and a revolutionary commander of the northern countryside. This program highlights the theme of national liberation and the heroic sacrifices made to achieve Syrian independence. Symbolically, the image conveys a message of patriotic duty, integrity, and the unification of various social strata under the banner of sovereignty, anchoring the Syrian context in the historical struggle for self-determination and the honor of its revolutionary icons.
