UN’s
Syria “Aid” Appeal is Bid to Relieve Trapped Terrorists
Global Research, December 16, 2013
Rebel
leaders hope to starve Colonel Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte into submission,
laying siege to his last remaining stronghold in an attempt to avoid mass
bloodshed, according to the man spearheading efforts for a peaceful takeover.
Assisting
them in the starvation of the 100,000 civilians who populated the coastal city
of Sirte was NATO who rained bombs down upon the besieged city relentlessly
while terrorists on the ground cut off electricity, water, gas, food, and other
essential supplies.
Rebel
commanders have been negotiating with tribal leaders in Qaddafi’s hometown of
Sirte, hoping to avoid further bloodshed. They announced Thursday that they had
extended the negotiations’ deadline for another week, from this coming
Saturday.
“We
want to save our fighters and not lose a single one in battles with Qaddafi’s
forces,” said Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman for the rebel leadership in the
eastern city of Benghazi.
“In
the end, we will get Sirte, even if we have to cut water and electricity” and
let NATO pound it with airstrikes, he said.
And
despite the title of the report, the UN made no mention of the tactics of the
terrorists and their NATO backers. Instead, the UN was more concerned with
aiding areas of the nation already taken by NATO’s proxy army.
In
2011, the general consensus appeared to be that cutting off an entire city
surrounded on all sides by desert and sea, constituted a “humane” and
“peaceful” means of taking the remaining strongholds of the overthrown Libyan
government. How times and the sensibilities of the West have changed…
The
Syrian Arab Army Surrounds Al Qaeda
It
is now the end of 2013, with the conflict in Syria having dragged on for three
years. The Syrian government has decisively turned the tide against waves of
NATO-backed foreign terrorists and their extremist collaborators within the
country, having restored order in many parts of the country and having
surrounded the terrorist proxies in a dwindling number of districts across the
Syria.
Image: “Humanitarian aid - Qatari
Red Crescent-style.” As the UN prepares to flood the Syrian conflict with
another 6.5 billion dollars, tales of how “aid money” is ending up facilitating
the activities of terrorists inside and along Syria’s borders suggest the UN is
not trying to provide mercy for the Syrian people, but perpetuate the tragedy
further still. Were it truly interested in relieving Syrians, it would expose the
true genesis of the conflictto the world and hold those responsible
accountable.
….
In
some areas, the terrorists have been completely surrounded, cut off from
reinforcements and supplies. Just as in Libya, the Syrian Arab Army is waiting
for the terrorists to be starved out rather than attempt a bloody assault – the
difference being that civilians – women and children – most certainly are
allowed (at least by the Syrian government) to leave the besieged areas,
leaving the terrorists alone.
Syrian
government is accused of using hunger as a weapon of war against its people and
preventing U.N. aid staff in delivering food and medicines to rebel-held
suburbs.
Reuters
continues (emphasis added):
As
the United Nations launched an annual appeal on Monday to help 16 million
people affected Syria’s civil war, divisions among world powers that have crippled
peacemaking are also denying UN staff the power to defy President Bashar
al-Assad’s officials and push into neighbourhoods now under siege.
“In
government-controlled parts of Syria, what, where and to whom to distribute
aid, and even staff recruitment, have to be negotiated and are sometimes
dictated,” said Ben Parker, who ran the UN Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Syria for a year until last February.
“According
to the Syrian government’s official position, humanitarian agencies and
supplies are allowed to go anywhere, even across any frontline,” he wrote last
month in the journal Humanitarian Exchange. “But every action requires
time-consuming permissions, which effectively provide multiple veto
opportunities.” Fighting and rebel groups are also obstacles.
The
United Nations appealed for $6.5 billion on Monday to help 16 million people
affected by the Syrian civil war, including millions made hungry and homeless
by the conflict soon entering its fourth year. The world body estimates about a quarter of a million
Syrians are living under siege as winter bites, most of them encircled by
government forces, but also including 45,000 in two towns in the north that are
besieged by anti-Assad rebels.
A
binding Security Council resolution could formally oblige the authorities to
let aid agencies into areas like the Damascus suburbs and the old city of Homs,
where local doctors say children are dying of malnutrition. But divisions between Western
powers, backing the rebels, and Russia, have paralysed the world body over
Syria since the conflict began in 2011.
Of
course, Reuters excuses itself once again from having to qualify any of its
claims – particularly those regarding the intentional starving and freezing of
women and children. It does so by stating:
Lack
of access for independent agencies makes it hard to verify food and medical
supplies in many areas. But opposition activists have posted video of the
bodies of several skeletal children who local doctors say died of malnutrition.
Once
again, accusations of the Syrian government’s “crimes against humanity” are
solely based on the “activists say” school of journalism, where “rebel”
propagandists renowned
as serial liars, have posted videos of unverified footage then reported as
fact by their Western collaborators – with disclaimers later buried deep within
reports.
What
the West is Using the UN for this Time
The
gambit is two-fold. First, to portray the Syrian government as guilty of yet
more “crimes against humanity,” which then justifies the second – passing a
binding UN Security Council resolution that would give the West direct access
to their terrorist proxies inside of Syria under the guise of providing
“humanitarian aid.”
In
a recent
e-mail leak released by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), correspondences
between US contractor Matthew Van Dyke and Western journalists revealed that in
addition to intentionally deceiving the public regarding the nature of the
conflict, aid shipments were being used to smuggle in equipment, fighters, and
weapons.
Van
Dyke being an armed militant himself, along with those in his company, riding
freely back and forth between Libya and Syria on aid ships should raise
suspicions at the very least regarding “aid” the UN plans to provide entrapped
terrorists.
Stories
like Alakhbar English’s “Qatar
Red Crescent Funds Syrian Rebel Arms,” also raises immense concern about
so-called aid flowing into Syria specifically to help those fighting the
government. The article reports:
Sources
in the investigation team said that Mahmoud confessed to receiving around $2.2
million from Khaled Diab, a Qatar Red Crescent official. He was then to hand
the money over to a Lebanese cleric identified as O.O., born in 1983 and
affiliated with Muslims Without Borders, in the Bekaa village of Bar Elias.
“Through
the cleric, Mahmoud was able to acquire 30 RPG launchers for $900,000 and 300
shells for $300,000, which were then transferred to Syria by a smuggler known
as Anwar or his nom de guerre Abu Salah.” The smuggler then handed over the
weapons to the Syrian national known as Abu Abdullah in the Damascus
countryside.
Mahmoud
also bought 100 Kalashnikovs and an ammunitions cache for $40,000 from the Ain
al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. The source added that
Mahmoud entered the refugee camp with the Syrian national Mohammad Abdullah,
known as Abu Hamza, under the guise of distributing humanitarian aid to
refugees from Syria.
Should
the UN decide to truly care about ending the ongoing catastrophe that is the
proxy invasion of Syria by foreign-backed terrorists, it could always point out
the true nature of the conflict and hold those responsible for it, NATO and its
regional axis, fully accountable. Anything less is but a criminal rouse meant
to intentionally perpetuate the conflict and give the West yet another chance
to end it on terms they find favorable.
