The world and the United Nations remain silent towards the brutal Aleppo bombardment that is leading to civilian casualties and the outcry to put a stop to this tragedy grows louder and louder, said UAE’s Al Bayan.
“The UAE Foreign Ministry released a statement denouncing the Aleppo attacks and unjustified escalation, calling on the world to stop the bloodshed. The UAE fears that such an escalation may derail the way to a political solution for the Syrian crisis. The UAE Foreign Ministry called on the Syrian regime to abide by the ceasefire and facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid to besieged areas. In the light of this escalation and these gruesome scenes from Aleppo that are now making their way around the world, the UAE’s call is a cry to awaken the world’s conscience and face these crimes ...”
Qatar’s Al Sharq said the Syrian people have been suffering from persecution, sectarianism and poverty under the false calls for nationalism and the liberation of the occupied Golan Heights. “It is worth noting that not a single bullet has been fired against the Israeli occupation throughout the rule of this authoritarian family. For what crime is Aleppo being killed? For how long will the international community ignore this humanitarian crisis by resorting to a ceasefire that is not abided by and eventually collapses, announcing that Syrian President Bashar Al Assad must leave, or through useless talks in which the warring parties are forced to attend. Hopes are pinned on the awakening of the international community’s conscience and an immediate foreign intervention to stop systematic operations of destruction and displacement and rescue the Syrian people from acts of genocide.”
The Syrian people have no one after they were abandoned by the Turks and the west, which defines the plight of 24 million Syrians only with the existence of Daesh, said the London-based Pan-Arab paper Asharq Al Awsat.
“The Syrian people have been left at the mercy of the Al Assad regime’s forces, which aim to destroy what remains of the neighbourhoods of major cities. Aleppo has become desolate, relief supplies have been cut off from it and roads have been blocked in the face of people who are trying to flee north to the Turkish border. The United Nations did not honour its pledge that negotiations would take place simultaneously with the ceasefire, and that aid workers would be allowed to deliver aid. Rather, the massacres taking place during the days of the truce have exceeded the massacres in the days of war.”
Any talk of truces and negotiation has become a sick joke, said Lebanon’s Daily Star. The regime has made it clear that it has only one goal: To destroy, kill and massacre in any area that does not declare its allegiance to the dictator. “This state of affairs has confirmed without a shred of doubt that the international community, the United Nations and all relevant organisations are but platforms for drivel that not only fail to produce results, but also add fuel to the fires that Syria’s people are suffering from.”
UN mediator Staffan de Mistura has called on Washington and Moscow to intervene to save the ceasefire and it is like calling on a person with no legs to dance and a snake to walk on two feet, said the Saudi Gazette. “So while Washington leads the outside world in wringing its hands uselessly on the sidelines, the slaughter continues,” the paper said.
