Entre illusions et réalités du terrain
Pierre Khalaf
Voltairenet
22nd April, 2013
La presse états-unienne fait état de divergences au sein de l’administration Obama au sujet des moyens de faire face à la crise en Syrie. Elle a mis en avant les propos de certains responsables du Pentagone devant le Congrès, soulignant les dangers d’un armement des rebelles après que le rôle et l’influence décisive d’Al-Qaïda —et sa branche syrienne, le Front al-Nosra— soient apparus au grand jour. La possible implication de terroristes tchétchènes dans le double attentat de Boston donne plus de crédit aux mise en garde de ces responsables, surtout que la presse occidentale avait révélé, il y a quelques mois, la formation de groupuscules combattants tchétchènes en Libye, sous une supervision des services de renseignement états-uniens, avant de les envoyer en Syrie —et en Russie— via la Turquie.

The EU scored a spectacular own-goal in supporting the bombing of Yugoslavia and the KLA. Does it ever learn? It is disingenious to claim that the insurgency in Syria is in any way about bringing democracy: the democratic elements within the Syrian opposition do not support armed struggle against Assad. Europe is supporting terrorism pure and simple and seems to be blind to the dangers of such madness.

SYRIA: THE CAPUCHIN CHURCH IN DEIR EZZOR IS HIT
Order of Capuchin Friars
April, 2013
DEIR EZZOR, Syria – “There was an explosion near our church in Deir Ezzor that destroyed it,” writes Br. Antoine Haddad, Viceprovincial Minister of Lebanon, in a message to us. The news was picked up by the media because the two Capuchin friars who lived there, with the help of the Lebanese and Syrian International Red Cross, and the nuncios of Lebanon and Syria, left with the Sisters of Mother Teresa and about ten seniors who lived in our place. They were the last remaining Christians in the area to leave. The church was completely destroyed, but until now it was not possible to know if the friary was hit or not, because there are no longer any Christians in Deir Ezzor, apart from one who returned because he lived in the ‘quieter’ area of the city. His attempts to get to the scene did not succeed because of intense gunfire. Until recently, our church of Deir Ezzor was the only one left almost intact. But then a few months ago there was a video on YouTube in which you could see the church with the door and side wall gutted and soldiers entering.

Hague told a news conference in London after meeting Syrian rebel figures that London cannot hand over the embassy over legal considerations, adding the rebels will receive the mission at the right moment.
What’s up with Hague? When is a “sole legitimate representative ” not a “sole legitimate representative”? Well, when there is already a legitimate representative government in Damascus. When will this “right moment” come? Never.
