What? Really?

MSF aside we have photos and statements on this thread of medical staff protesting against deliberate targeting of staff and facilities by the regime. I would question Mr. West's motives before those of doctors on the ground and MSF.

Just checked my MSF newsletter. Nothing in it about the perpetrators. Click and article you get this damning judgement
This attack can only be considered deliberate. It was probably carried out by the Syrian-government-led coalition that is predominantly active in the region.

These spooks ain't what they used to be.

Some people bombed in a hospital in an area where hospitals are often bombed by a particular combatant jump to some conclusions must be spooks or shills.
 
Oh look, Philip Hammond has seen something " very disturbing " . Good . I hope he gets even more disturbed . the cunt . May he be disturbed no end . A great pity he's not disturbed by his Saudi and Turkish mates sponsoring head choppers. Like he was .



Those Turkish backed " FSA moderates " have been trying to overrun the Kurds for ages now and do to them what they and their mates did to the Armenians in Latakia a few years back .

West, Turkey Complicit in Moderate-Terrorist Massacre of Syrian Christian Villagers - Intifada Palestine

45 Days in Hell: Syrian Armenians Kidnapped and Tortured by FSA


Thankfully Putin and Assads boys won't let Erdogan have his way this time . So fuck you philip Hammond and anyone else who finds it " disturbing " a bunch of sectarian head chopping bastards are getting deservedly blown up and prevented from ethnically cleansing more infidels .
 
some pieces here on the attempts to brand Zahran Alloush as a moderate patriot .

Top Syrian rebel leader killed in Damascus air strike

Syria Rebel Leader’s Assassination a Major Blow to US Agenda

This is the same Alloush that barely a month before his targeted execution by the Syrian airforce paraded around 500 terrified Alawis ..that he'd kidnapped en masse years earlier .. through the streets in cages while degrading and humiliating them . Before sticking them on his armies rooftops as human shields .



Fair play to the Syrian Airforce for dealing with that dirt bird at long last .
 
Well, you don't need many correspondents in order to regurgitate/paraphrase government/neocon press releases on a subject, which is what most foreign policy articles in the MSM amount to these days.

Interview with Leila Al-Shami, co-author of Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution & War (which I hightly recommend btw)

The assault on Aleppo

This article is informative and well balanced.

Her co-author, Robin Yassin Kassab, has been equally damning of the SDF/YPG offensive round Azaz, describing it as criminal, a land grab, etc, on twitter. There seems to be serious unease in FSA circles about the apparent plan to link Afrin to Kobani canton, across non-Kurdish majority northern Aleppo - concerns echoed in your linked piece, that the cantons, joined, become a state, & create de facto partition of Syria. I guess time will demonstrate whether it's tactical opportunism & military necessity from the SDF, or nation-building/nation-splitting.
 
Save Syria’s Ceasefire

“Can you hear that? … It’s the birds singing…” That’s what one of the rescue heroes of the White Helmets said over the radio on the first day of the partial ceasefire in Syria.

Over the past few days there have been dozens of violations of this break in the fighting. We’ve been reporting sniper fire, barrel bombs and Russian air raids.[1] But while the violence has not stopped, it has reduced. And that means innocent civilians that would otherwise have been killed in the extreme carnage of Syria are still alive today. In short, the partial ceasefire has saved lives.

But right now the ceasefire is extremely fragile and it’s not just the violence that endangers it.

A key part of the agreement negotiated by the US and Russia was that aid would be delivered to areas under horrific ‘starvation sieges’ at the start of the ceasefire. This hasn’t been honoured. The Assad regime which is denying access to 99% of those under siege in Syria continues to block aid trucks.[2] Apart from a few small deliveries by the UN to some areas, the vast majority of those going hungry have seen nothing. In one of the worst hit towns, Daraya, many are on the very edge of starvation.

The continued denial of aid to besieged areas is a major breach of the ceasefire and threatens the whole agreement....

Yeah I've seen a few, here is the most recent from an NYT article

Syrian Protesters Take to Streets as Airstrikes Ease

Street protests erupted across insurgent-held areas ofSyria on Friday, as demonstrators took advantage of the relative lull in airstrikes during a partial truce, coming out in the largest numbers seen in years to declare that even after five punishing years of war they still wanted political change.

Under the slogan “The Revolution Continues,” demonstrators waved the green, white and black pre-Baathist flag adopted during the early, largely peaceful stages of the revolt, before the proliferation of armed Islamist factions with black jihadist banners....
