ETHNO AID ONLY & OR ONLY TO DICTATORS BY „FRIENDS OF SYRIA“

MESOP COMMENTARY : The UN continues to give the Assad regime complete control of all aid distribution, fully aware that, except for token quantities delivered to some areas in calculated regime PR exercises, none of the aid is going to people being deliberately starved to death by the regime. Some Western and mostly German NGO’s give aid exclusively only for Kurds. The rest of the population should die or  submit to Bashar al Assad. GD

UN continues to work with Assad in enforcing starvation policy: report

18-04-2014: Davide Zanin – MESOP – United Nations documents obtained by Foreign Policy magazine confirm, yet again, that Bashar al-Assad’s regime continues to engage, with the UN’s support, in a policy of cutting off food supplies to opposition-held areas as it has for over two years. The regime has adopted this policy in order to exert more pressure on Syria’s opposition forces fighting for freedom from the Assads’ genocidal dictatorship, and to starve civilians in the hope of forcing them to submit to the hereditary totalitarian regime’s continuing rule.

Food, medicine, fuel and all other facilities continue to be available in areas under regime control, which are safe from bombardment as opposition forces continue to target military facilities and personnel rather than civilians, the direct opposite of the regime’s standard policy.

The UN continues to give the Assad regime complete control of all aid distribution, fully aware that, except for token quantities delivered to some areas in calculated regime PR exercises, none of the aid is going to people being deliberately starved to death by the regime.
The Western ‘Friends of Syria’ governments – three of which (the US, Britain and France) are permeanent UNSC members – who are fully cognisant and supportive of this UN policy, continue to give it their tacit approval, issuing no condemnation of the Assad regime’s ongoing deliberate mass starvation of much of the Syrian population.

With the silent complicity of the rest of the ‘international community,’ Assad, Iran and Russia continue to withhold food, medicine, fuel and all forms of humanitarian aid to areas outside the regime’s control – most of Syria – as well as cutting off supplies of water, electricity and all utilities.
These areas are also subjected to daily relentless aerial and ground carpet bombing, with Assad’s forces regularly regularly using ballistic, air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missiles, poison gas, white phosphorous and cluster bombs, again with no complaint from the international community and hardly any coverage by the world’s media.

This policy of collective punishment of a civilian population, which is strictly illegal under international law, is being implemented with full international support, with the victim being lambasted as “terrorists.”

Despite the horrific suffering inflicted by the regime for over three years in an attempt to quash the Syrian revolution with the full complicity of Washington and the other Western ‘Friends of Syria’ governments, the people of Syria continue to demand the freedom and human rights that the world powers would prefer that they continue to be denied.
