“President Assad is part of the solution”

News

America’s mouthpiece, the UN special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura stated on Friday 12th February in Vienna that; “President Assad is part of the solution” and “…only the Islamic State extremist group benefits from the Syrian war.”

Comment

This statement paves the way for Assad to remain despite 250,000+ martyred by the murderous Baathist regime. And in using the heinous crimes of the criminal gang Daesh headed by Baghdadi the attempt by De Mistura is now to bring Assad in from the cold and again make him a player on the chess board controlled by America.

It seems the special envoy is deaf, dumb and blind to the cries and rivers of blood that flowed in Douma City in the last 10 days caused by Assad’s barrel bombs.

Did this news from Douma City in which no less than 101 civilians were martyred by the regime’s killing campaign which ensued on 5 February not reach de Mistura?? The 101 martyred in Douma City included 19 children and 20 women as reported by SNHR.

The number of civilians martyred not just in Douma City but on a daily basis in Syria over the last 4 years by the regime clearly indicates that there is a systematic policy to kill the people of Syria until they renounce the blessed revolution.

The special envoy de Mistura follows in the footsteps of his predecessor’s Lakhdar Brahimi and Kofi Annan who were also silent and turned a blind eye to the genocide openly committed by the murdering regime. This was all done under the watchful eye of America as it planned a replacement for Assad at the time.

According to international law which the western nations claim to uphold, it is stated that the crime of extrajudicial killing can be classified as a crime against humanity, and in the case of Syria it is clear that the Assad regime is deliberately targeting the civilian population.

Thus where does de Mistura stand with regards to this? Where does the UN stand as a whole with regards to what the people have demanded “al-Ummah turīd Khilāfah Islāmiyyah” and “the people want to overthrow the regime and all its symbols” which has been clear from day one of the blessed revolution? Or does this not compute with the UN especially as within the UN’s charter they view ‘Democracy as a universal norm’. And thus they use this as a cover to legitimise a ruler and his regime and un-legitimise it as they see fit denying the demands of the people.

It is clear that the UN since its inception in 1945 has been and continues to be a tool used by the leading nation’s most notably America to further her interests.

Securing interests and regional strategies are the currency of the day where sanctity of life has no value to America and those it places as an intermediary to discuss on its behalf.

In an infamous statement we recall the words of Henry Kissinger when he said regarding the Khmer Rouge: “”How many people did (Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng Sary) kill? Tens of thousands? You should tell the Cambodians (i.e., Khmer Rouge) that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs, but we won’t let that stand in the way. We are prepared to improve relations with them. Tell them the latter part, but don’t tell them what I said before.” (November 26, 1975 Meeting with Thai Foreign Minister.)

And a point should be made regarding those who appear to be against the Syrian regime but who are in full cahoots with America in fulfilling her plan for the region. These are the rulers of the neighbouring Muslim lands i.e. Turkey’s Kemalist Sultan Erdogan, Jordan’s PlayStation King Abdullah and others along with the SNC headed by Khalid Khoja.

Allah (swt) reminds us,

((مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡلِيَآءَ كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡعَنڪَبُوتِ ٱتَّخَذَتۡ بَيۡتً۬اۖ وَإِنَّ أَوۡهَنَ ٱلۡبُيُوتِ لَبَيۡتُ ٱلۡعَنڪَبُوتِۖ لَوۡ ڪَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ))

“The likeness of those who take as Auliya (protectors or helpers) other than Allah is the likeness of a spider who builds (for itself) a house; but verily, the frailest of houses is the spider’s house – if they but knew.” [TMQ Al-Ankabut: 41]
