There are 2 Rami Abdelrahman, I am not the Syrian one!

Recently there has been another Rami Abdelrahman whose being quoted a lot in the media regarding what is happening in Syria. Apparently, the other Rami Abdelrahman is a Syrian based in London and working for a Human Rights Observatory. I am not him, I have never been in touch with him and I am not an expert on Syria.

I am from Jordan and I am based in Stockholm, Sweden. I have been working as a journalist since 1999, both in Jordan and in Sweden, but never anything related to Syria. I did meet Syrian activists on many occasions where I met activists from the Middle East and North Africa, but it is very important to highlight that there are TWO Rami Abdel Rahman. I am the Jordanian one in Sweden. Not the Syrian one in the UK.

I am writing this after I received one call from a Croatian journalist who thought I was the Syrian one. The other reason is that infosyrie.fr also had some doubts about the two identities. Thankfully they cleared the issue here http://www.infosyrie.fr/decryptage/mais-enfin-qui-est-et-ou-est-rami-abdel-rahmane/. And I am in touch with them to make sure that they see that we are two different persons and that I am not the one dealing with Syria.
