Syria... Update
Exhausted and worn out from a year-long siege, hundreds of Syrian rebels left their last remaining bastions in the heart city of Homs under a ceasefire deal with government forces. 1,200 fighters mark a de facto end of the rebellion in the battered city nicknamed "capital of the revolution." Now the civilians may have some sense of security and peace in their home town as the foreign fighters leave.
"We are very sad for what is happening today. We kept urging the international community to lift the siege but there was no response," al-Homsi said. "We have lost more than 2,000 martyrs in nearly two years of siege."
Had these foreign fighter realized no one would help them, the problem in Syria would have been so much smaller. Let us not flirt with the availability of assistance. Not in this region.
Just a thought.
