Current WAR CRIMES - Syria

She's going down the Navalny path unfortunately.

Probably knows about Assad's chemical weapons program & attacks on civilians. She knows too much about the Russians which generally has a negative effect on one's health.

If they wanted her dead she'd be dead.

If they wanted her dead she'd be dead.

She's a bit high profile to do that.

She's a bit high profile to do that.

Nobody forced Russia to offer her sanctuary and she's not a beloved international figure.

Putin is patient, we've seen this before. They'll get a few months, they'll relax and think they're fine, then they'll have a run in with a window.

I’m a bit uneducated on the conflict but why would Putin want to knock her? Protect secrets etc?

Took years with Navalny.

It surprises me that she didn't leave Syria a long time ago, she holds a dual British citizenship, born and educated in London.

She was an investment banker so handy to have around if you want to rob your country, she'd have lots of secrets.

Could be she enjoyed the status, the power, the shoes and handbags. She’d also have a hard time leaving/taking her children. I doubt she was living there under any sort of duress.

Also, the Syrian expats wouldn’t be all that welcoming.

I read that the UK have put a blanket ban on her re-entering the country so it’s not a realistic possibility anyway?

Oh ... I didn't know that. Maybe they should have lured her back and captured her.

From the things I have read her citizenship hasn’t been revoked but UK have sanctions on the family that allow them to refuse entry.

Not sure they can revoke her citizenship, she was born in London. Their kids were born in Syria, one of them for sure had further education in Moscow so the other two probably did as well.

 

[Kurve]

This looks promising, if there's still awful trouble in some areas.

 

[Kurve]

Highly recommend, if anybody's interested.

There's strong indications HTS forces are targeting minorities, the Druze are a far smaller minority than the Alawites. They may prove to have been wise in asking for Israel's protection.

Heartbreaking scenes and footage coming out of Latakia

Public torture and executions of civilians filmed by the perpetrators.

700 citizens killed now.

Syrian security forces accused of killing hundreds of civilians

More than 700 civilians of the Alawite religious minority have been killed, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.

Over 1300 killed and noone cares.

No Jews, no news.

There is widespread footage of a man standing on the face of an Alawite man as someone cuts his chest open, removes his heart and takes a bite in the same fashion as Abu Sakkar in 2013.

Never thought I would see this scenes repeated.

Never thought I would be one of the only ones outraged.

Thanks for the warning, I'll be avoiding that.

Already traumatised enough that images of roundabouts in that region and over ten years later, my stomach lurches.

We're probably all aware in here what's going on in Syria. Hopes for peace and the end of sectarian violence seems too much to expect.

 

[Kurve]

Yesterday I heard there were calls for all fighters to head to Souaida (Sweida) but I'd hoped it wasn't true.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

The Bedouin tribes are not jihadist, in fact they fought and killed Al Qaeda and ISIS in their thousands in Iraq and Syria.

A friend of mine is a Syrian Druze and during the civil war he travelled back to Syria on a number of occasions to see his family. He told ne a story of when he was in his town and ISIS was moving towards it and the whole town started freaking out and the men starting trying to set up defences. He said if ISIS had of taken over their town they would have all been slaughtered.

He maintained that Assad was their only hope to stop the attacks and he did.
He said Assad wasn't the evil person the West pointed him to be and be said if he ever lost power Syria would turn into an absolute blood lust where Druzes, Shias, Christians and Alawites would all be persecuted.

Turns out he was right. The West needs to take responsibility for the death and destruction their policies have brought on Syria, Iraq, Libya and elsewhere in the middle east.
