    Le degré de bêtise de ce papier, écrit par l'un des éditorialistes arabes les plus en vue, est ahurissant. Grille d'analyse figée dans le temps, précisément en 1956

    : Pourquoi les offres saoudiennes et américaines « secrètes » et alléchantes pleuvent sur le Président Al-Assad ces jours-ci ? Par Traduction ➡ …

    In the end what was done/is being done in Syria will not stop in Syria. The model was tried and tested and found to work. Islamophobia works, the 'war on terror' narrative works - on both right and left. It's foolish to believe oppressors won't use it as often as they could now.

    We need to be wary of Russian tactics in Syria justifying killing civilians en masse because “there’s ISIS hiding among them”. International community eats it up. If there’s another Bosnian war they’ll play that ISIS card. Croatia already smeared BIH for…

    De Mistura must resign. He has consistently assisted the regime's reconquest in Syria. The "local ceasefires" policy he embraced was personally approved by Bashar al Assad. It freed up the regime's stretched manpower so it could concentrate it on one besieged pocket at a time.

    This is the dumbest & most obscene thing I’ve read today: ”There is no other Idlib," De Mistura said, stressing the need to ensure civilians can evacuate to nearby areas under government control, with guarantees their rights will be respected once there”

    3) There is no division between "war" and "peace". "Peace" in is just an extension of the current conflict through other means. Examples: 1) detention/torture/disappearance of millions; 2) reconstruction forcing communities who rose up in 2011 to live on their knees. 3/3

    DN couldn't have an actual spokesperson of the Assad regime on as that would very likely endanger Razan. But why Cockburn? What was the added value, other than his (white male) voice of authority? Razan was already well established as an authority by 2013.
