Civilians in rebel-held eastern Aleppo are expressing desperation over their survival as fighting between the government and the opposition carves deeper into their half of the city.
The Syrian Civil Defence, a volunteer rescue group also known as the White Helmets, said at least 45 people, mostly women and children, were killed and more than 50 injured in Jibb al-Qubba on Wednesday by the regime’s artillery shelling on those fleeing the conflict.
The Red Cross (ICRC), operating on the ground, said at least 20,000 civilians have fled their homes in the past 72 hours, with some making it to shelters in the regime-held western half of the city. Others, it said, are retreating into other neighbourhoods in the east. (Source: Al Jazeera News, 30 Nov 2016)
Comment:
Russia, Iran and Bashar pursue their holocaust with ferocity in Aleppo, the world no longer sees the mangled and broken bodies, no longer hears the shrieks of pain, no longer cares about the tears of innocent women and children.
The West waits for what they believe will be the end of the ‘Islamists’ in Syria. It was an Arab Spring that went so badly wrong. Rather than the liberal secular uprising they were trying to engineer, the Muslims rose up for Islam instead. So they let Bashar, Russia and Iran wipe out the sincere Muslims. And they hope to be able to put in place a puppet, acceptable to them.
Division is their method to weaken us. They label us as ‘moderates’ as ‘extremist’ they support Daish against the Mujahideen, giving ‘aid’ to some, weapons and armament to others. Daish’s guns and slaughter are directed only for the Muslims, not for the Kafir Bashar and his army.
And yet the Muslim world is not leaderless. Do our leaders not have the courage to protect the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ? If they lack the courage, do they also lack the voice to register even a whisper of protest?
We have mighty armies don’t we? In Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia? Won’t they launch volley after volley of missiles to defend the Believers in Syria? Won’t they sink Russia’s aircraft carrier which has no right to invade Muslim lands and seas? For all the polished guns, medals and boots, not a single bullet has been shot at Bashar and his inhuman military. Not a single bomb or barrel bomb has been dropped on Bashar’s head.
The true rulers and armies that fear Allah سبحانه وتعالى alone, would not accept to wait for one more tear of a child to fall, before rising to the defend those that are being slaughtered merely because they believe and love Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger ﷺ and put them above their own lives and the lives of their loved ones.
The true Daulah (State) of Islam, would have liberated Ash Shams, eradicated Bashar and brought relief and comfort to the Believers.
وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا
“And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, “Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?”
