Syria's latest situation, hundreds of casualties in Ghouta || 21 Feb 2018

in syria •  7 years ago  (edited)
  • Pro-Assad Syrian militias finally arrived in Afrin region to help Kurd YPG despite Turk-Russian deal. The arrived militias are actually HIzbullah's Aleppo offshoot near to Afrin region. These militias backed by Iran and Syrian president Bashar-ul-Assad, wanted to fight Turk and pro-Turk FSA rebel groups alongside Kurd YPG and were trying to approach the Kurd areas for two days but Turk bombardment and shelling on the roads didn't give them any chance to move further.

    Some of the convoy's even retreated back toward Syrian held Aleppo areas but yesterday, somehow a convoy arrived in Afrin despite Turk efforts to stop them. The Turk bombardment on The road toward Afrin can be seen below.
  • Turk forces and Pro-Turk rebels captured new areas in Afrin enclave. Yesterday, after capturing more areas with Turk border now Turk forces have 80% of the border area from Afrin enclave's side.
  • Rebels infighting has started again between HTS (Hayat Tahrir alSham) and their former sub group Nour alDin alZenki Movement. Zinki movement is now the part of newly created JTS (Jabhat Tahrir alSuriya) and its supreme commander also announce the full scale responce/war on HTS. HTS is the main rebel group in Idlib province and surrounding. It seems that Pro-Turk group JTS want to expel HTS to implement Turk-Russian deals in order to prevent it from any further attack on the rebel held areas in Northern Syria.
  • After ground offensive has started two days ago, the nonstop artillery shelling and airstrikes are going on in popular areas and all towns of besieged Ghouta in E. Damascus. For the first time, Russian air-force is also bombing the rebel held areas in Damascus alongside Syrian air-force.

    In first 48 hours of offensive, about 210 people were dead and now after almost 60 hours more than 250 people are dead in the bombing campaign which include more than 70 children and many women. Hundreds of the civilians are also injured.

    In first two and half days of Ghouta offensive, Syrian forces and its allied forces air and groung bombardment targeted several hospitals, 8 clinics and 4 medical facilities. Most of the targeted medical facilities are now out of order. Some of the civilians like women and children from some families are hiding in underground caces and tunnels due to heavy ongoing bombardment on popular areas.

This stupid cowboyz and indianz game is consequent to treason in the previous executive branch of the USA. The intentions of the USA in Ukraine and Syria consequently failed. The rest of the world should not suffer the attendant violence of the USA's internal failures.

Syria is in very Trouble. Allah may Bless them all

Aameen.

Sad news, not so many of these on main papers...

News paper's owners have their own goals :(

How can anyone be so unhuman, killing 100's is an unhuman act.

But sadly the Lust of power make people do these things :(

It amazes me that this is still going on, largely due to the actions of leading Western countries, and yet those nations continue to tighten the screws on the thousands, hundreds of thousands of refugees seeking safe haven

Unfortunately it's not going to stop in near future :(

This is going on BECAUSE of western countries, notably the US, UK, Israel & their allies. The ones whom are sponsoring Al Qaeda & ISIS in Syria, despite Al Qaeda allegedly being responsible for 9/11. Yes, I know those names don't feature, they keep changing them all the time, but that is who they are. US want to overthrow Assad, as they have any other leader who has opposed US hegemony.

Heard about this on NPR yesterday. So damn sad that there are literally eight year old kids that have been living (if you can call it living) through war at least six years of war in their life. They can't go to school because the schools are bombed or used as outposts for snipers. Their parents can't leave because they can't afford it or have nowhere to go. All this intervention is so partisan all it seems to do is make things worse. I wish there was something more that could be done than just wishing and praying for peace...

The corporate mainstream media outlets are lying to you on the ongoing battle for East Ghouta.
