Nous sommes le 5 août, et la province de Soueïda, en Syrie, est toujours soumise à un siège imposé par le gouvernement, où seuls quelques camions du Croissant-Rouge syrien et d’ONG ont été autorisés à passer. Plus de 500 000 personnes sont assiégées,

Gaza, le champ de la mort

Sommes-nous à ce point résignés pour fermer les yeux et abandonner à leur sort des Palestiniens martyrisés par le Hamas et par les extrémistes qui forment le gouvernement actuel d’Israël sous la direction de Benyamin Netanyahou ?

Europeans instead debate how to send people back most efficiently - that’s shameful.
We are in a very strange situation where the same European governments now saying Syria will be a safe place to stay or return to are also still designating HTS, the rebel group that overthrew the government, as a terrorist organization.
