As you may have guessed I want to talk about Syria and the atrocities that are going on there right now and that have been for over 3 years now . Fighting between government troops loyal to the president Bashar Al Assad and rebel fighers who want him gone has resulted in at least 70,000 deaths ( many estimates are much bigger ... 150,000 ) and approx 4 MILLION people have been displaced by the fighting so far. With many more people reported to be missing.
Bashar Al Assad will stop at nothing to bring his own people to their knees to bow down to him as a complete dictator and he has used many horrific and disgusting tactics to try and bring about as much pain and suffering on his own people as he can. This has included government troops targeting civillian hospitals and also lines of people waiting to get bread from local bakeries , and there is many other accusations against the government troops including the cold blooded shooting of women and children and even rape and torture .
The fact that this kind of conflict can continue for so long with the whole world is basically just sitting back and watching and doing nothing is just INSANITY !!! Its not as if we dont KNOW whats happening, it just seems like the whole world doesnt really care ...yes the U.N is supplying the rebels with small amounts of non lethal supplies etc, but the fact is the government troops have tanks and planes and sophisticated weaponry and the rebels have no tanks no planes no advanced weapons. The rebels are taking heavy losses whilst Bashar Al Assad directs his troops to carry out bombings on civillians and massacres of women and children .
Surely the time has come for the international community to stop sitting on their hands and doing nothing and make some moves in getting rid of this evil man , I understand Syria is allied with Iran and also Russia and this could create a political storm if the western countries were to intervene but how many more innocent people have to die before something is done. I feel ashamed and outraged that this war continues and that the world just sits back and watches hospitals get bombed , lines of people trying to get bread bombed , schools BOMBED !! I dont have the answers to what has to happen but I do know one this is for sure and something has to happen , and SOON !!
That is all , PEACE out , Catch
It makes me feel lucky I was born in Australia! The problems we face pale in comparison to others around the world.
ReplyDeleteI hope these people receive help!!
I know Emma we surely do come from a lucky country and the more I travel the more I realize that we come from the best country in the world and even though it may seem like these problems are another world away they aren't, we all live in the same world and breathe the same air . I do hope this war comes to an end ASAP but unfortunately I don't think this is the case ... only thing we can do is spread the word and educate people about it and hopefully will the voice of millions we can bring about change :)
