FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Opposition figures were already accusing Mr Assad of being in denial over his
speech, in which he poured scorn on the Arab League peace mission to the
country and made little mention of allegations of abuse levelled against his
forces by the United Nations and others.
“He still speaks of the existence of a global conspiracy against Syria,”
Omar al-Khani, of the Syrian Revolution General Commission, told The Daily
Telegraph from Damascus. “But who killed more than six thousand people
in Syria so far?”
Earlier in the day, one member of the Arab League monitoring mission resigned,
saying it was a “farce” that was being orchestrated to buy time
and hunt down activists who spoke to them.
The observer, Anwar Malek, a prominent Algerian writer, said what he had seen
in Syria was a “humanitarian disaster”. “The regime isn’t
committing one war crime but a series of crimes against its people,” he
said in a dramatic interview with Al-Jazeera television, while still wearing
his orange observer’s jacket.
“The regime has gained a lot of time that has helped it to implement its
plan. They wanted to use this mission and they’ve sent spies and
intelligence officers with our team to act as drivers and minders to get our
information and as soon as we left an area they attacked people.” The
League decided at a meeting on Sunday to push ahead with the mission and
even expand it despite criticism that it was achieving little. It is now
under even more pressure since Mr Assad’s speech.
The League was further humiliated at the United Nations on Tuesday night when
the assistant secretary-general, Lynn B. Pascoe, said that 400 people had
been killed in the ten days after the observers arrived, a rate higher than
the average according to Susan Rice, the United States’ ambassador.
The League justified the continuance of the mission by saying it had reduced
the level of violence.
Activists claim the latest atrocity was the killing of a four-month-old girl,
Afaf Mahmoud al-Sarakbi, whose body allegedly showed signs of beating when
it was returned to her family though the cause of her death could not be
verified independently.
She was with her father, an activist, and mother when they were seized trying
to escape from Homs two weeks ago, activists said. The parents have not been
seen since.
“These are the reforms of the Assad regime – the torture and killing of
children,” Mr Khani said.
