Friday, October 2, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie traveled to Damascus, Syria on a United Nations goodwill mission to meet with Iraqi civilians displaced by the Iraq war. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees have found temporary asylum in Syria (and Jordan, Turkey and Iran, amongst other countries). Usually, Angelina goes solo on her UNHCR missions, but Brad joined her for this trip, meeting and speaking with two families. After meeting with the refugees, Angelina met with Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad to discuss the refugee situation in his country - but there is no mention of whether Brad joined her for that part of the trip. Angelina was last in Syria in 2007, when she also traveled to the Iraqi border camps housing refugees.
