Toujours aux côtés du peuple syrien

« Rien ne saurait justifier le maintien au pouvoir de Bachar al-Assad ni son impunité : sa place n’est pas dans son palais de Damas mais devant une Cour pénale internationale ».

https://blogs.mediapart.fr/les-invites-de-mediapart/blog/220319/toujours-aux-cotes-du-peuple-syrien

1 – Rapports et Etudes :

– Les comités locaux en #Syrie, vers un partage du pouvoir et une gouvernance locale ? Sur Syrie News, par le Comité Syrie – Europe, après Alep.

https://syrie.news/2019/03/20/comites-locaux-syrie-vers-partage-pouvoir-gouvernance-locale

– UNICEF reports that about 1.5 million people in #Syria are now living with permanent impairments due to conflict, including 86,000 people who have lost limbs.

https://www.voanews.com/a/people-with-disabilities-are-most-vulnerable-as-syrian-conflict-enters-9th-year-/4833549.html

2 – Idlib :

– Friday 22 mars 2018, Russia Air Force carried out new airstrikes today bombing for 1st time Fuah-Kefraya just N. of #Idlib-city, razing entire area. At least 10 people killed, including 3 children and a woman, and 35+ wounded. Rescue operations ongoing tonight.

– 2925 jours après le début de la révolution syrienne, le régime d’Assad continue de massacrer sa population avec l’aide directe de la Russie. @NTenzer lance un énième cri dans le vide de la communauté internationale, sur le sort d’Idlib: « Il faut sauver les habitants d’Idlib du régime. Il faut aussi sauver l’ensemble des habitants de Syrie du régime. » Un plaidoyer auquel on connaît la réponse car seuls, seuls, les Syriens restent désespérément seuls. Nous devons reparler de la #Syrie, où les crimes continuent. La région d’#Idlib est sous le feu du régime et de la #Russie.

https://theconversation.com/debat-en-syrie-le-silence-ne-doit-pas-recouvrir-les-crimes-commis-a-idlib-113701

– Residents of rural Idlib’s Khan Sheikhoun still manage to gather in between airstrikes for evenings with friends. But increased bombs have tinged those evenings with fear as friends head home for the night. ‘We all wonder if it’s the last farewell’
