Little Omran Daqneesh, who last year became the face of horror in Syria when his photo sitting in a bloody and completely covered in dust ambulance went around the world, has reappeared.

This time you can see the little 5-year-old, who moved even former President Barack Obama, completely clean, well dressed, his hair perfectly groomed and something else, smiling.

The images are part of interviews recorded by a medium favorable to the Syrian regime and aired on other related networks in Lebanon, Russia and Iran.

According to CNN, Omran's father, Mohammed Daqneesh, accused rebel groups and the international media of using those photos where his son appeared bloody after the bombing of his house in Aleppo as propaganda against the Syrian government. "We are very sorry for the militants and for how they used things for their benefit with my son," he said.

Thank God he was only slightly wounded. Thank God the army later advanced and took back those areas. We are back in our houses. The situation is now very good, thank God, he added.

Human rights activists doubt the degree of freedom with which Daqneesh made those statements, given that the Syrian regime is known to control information in his country and is accused of violating the most basic human rights.

An opposition journalist, Musa Omar, considered that Daqneesh spoke in front of the cameras under pressure. "Please don't say anything about Omran's father, he is not a pro-regime," he said. "He is a hostage, a prisoner under the control of the regime, forced to say every word of his interview."

At the time the photo was taken that went around the world, Aleppo was under siege and brutally bombarded by the Syrian Army and its allies, who ended up regaining control of the city, which has been left practically in ruins.

Syrian journalist Sama Kinana Allouche who now interviewed the boy and his family shared images of the boy and his family on his Facebook account.

“Oman, the boy the media tried to cover up the true cause of his injuries, claiming that it was the result of the Syrian Arab Army. Now he lives in the Syrian State, with his army, its leader and its people, added the communicator, a well-known supporter of President Bachar al Asad.
