๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ Syria has returned to the Arab League and has renewed diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia as well as other Arab countries. Jordan has presented an Arab initiative for peace in Syria which follows the UN security council resolution 2254.

However, this has not translated into any economic help for the Syrian people living under the Damascus administration, who are mainly focused on just survival alone after the countryโ€™s economy has collapsed. There is still no hope for economic recovery or reconstruction.

Saudi Arabia, oil-rich Gulf nations, and other Arab nations have not been able to help Syria because of the U.S.-EU sanctions in place which prevent any money or products to be sent to Syria, other than humanitarian aid in the wake of the earthquake. Without foreign investment or donations to rebuild Syria, the economy will remain at a standstill, and no jobs will be created for Syrians desperate for an income. The sinking boats full of economic migrants in the Mediterranean Sea are a direct result of the U.S.-EU sanctions which keep the Syrians starving and desperate to help their families.

The migrant tragedies at sea are a direct result of the U.S.-EU sanctions which strangle the Syrian people and prevent them from recovery at home ๐Ÿ˜ข

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ We have heard of the concept of the clash of civilizations, and east meets west in Germany, and the project of Syrian integration in Germany is a failed project.

Sweden is also taking school aged children away from their Syrian parents and placing them into a foster home, and the parents are prevented from even knowing where the child is at.

There are many Syrian who have left home to find their place abroad. They have become productive members of society around the world, and may remain abroad for all their life. There is even a Syrian refugee who became the Mayor of a small town in Germany.

The U.S.-NATO regime change project engineered by U.S. President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden is a failure.

It is time to allow Syria to be rebuilt and recover from an unjust war which left death and destruction in its path ๐Ÿ’”

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ According to media reports, the French Intelligence have given information to Mohamed al-Golani, the head of the Al Qaeda branch in Syria, formerly known as Jibhat al-Nusra, but now rebranded as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

The report said there are members and leaders of Jolaniโ€™s fighters who are working with, and giving information to the Russian and Syrian military about Idlib. Based on that information Jolani has arrested over 300 HTS fighters and leaders, as well as members of the Idlib administration. In the last few days, Jolani has hung tens of people, all without legal procedures.

Jolani is responding to recent Russian and Syrian targeted airstrikes on warehouses and positions of HTS causing a great deal of deaths among the terrorist group.

The last meeting in Astana has failed to find a solution for the political conflict in Syria. The battles have started again between the Syrian Arab Army and Russia, from one side, and the U.S. supported Radical Islamic terrorists in northwest Syria on the other side.

With the recent complete reversal of Turkish foreign policy it remains a mystery as to what is the future of Idlib ๐Ÿ“

๐Ÿ”ฅ Wildfires broke out on July 25 in Latakia province in northwest Syria and are still burning amid new fires being started. The fires spread quickly by a sudden unusual wind which whipped up.

The whole country, and the adjacent Mediterranean region, is in a heat-wave which sets the stage for such a devastating fire burning crops, forests and homes. However, this was not a chance wildfire, but an act of terrorism ๐Ÿงจ

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ Israeli airstrikes on Syria have become routine and deadly. On Monday, Israeli airstrikes on Damascus at 2:20 am local time killed four Syrian soldiers and wounded four others.

Damascus residents were awoken from sleep to sounds and flashes of bright lights from the attacks. Regardless of the numerous attacks, the civilian populations are held hostage to the Israeli military and their relentless attacks which cause emotional distress on innocent people sleeping in their own homes, while trying to survive in a collapsed economy which has pushed the majority to the poverty line.

The U.S. has strangled the Syrian civilians with years of sanctions which have prevented pharmacies and hospitals from ordering special medicines from U.S. and European manufacturers ๐Ÿš‘

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ A power struggle in the eastern Syrian desert might end with the U.S. withdrawal from Syria, as the occupation allies battle each other for power and lucrative energy resources.

If the U.S. occupation of Syria is depending on not only the SDF as allies, but the Arab tribes as well, then the Pentagon might need a re-think of their position: their alliances are crumbling like sand in the desert ๐Ÿœ๏ธ

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿฆ… Thousands of Druze in Suwayda, in the southwest of Syria near Jordan, have been protesting inflation and economic woes facing all of Syria because of U.S.-EU sanctions, and the economic collapse after the long armed conflict. But, recently, they are calling for regime change, and the U.S. is supporting them.

Suwayda is just the newest proposed project in a long list of U.S. regime change projects which have resulted in dividing a sovereign nation into small pieces ๐ŸŒ€

Forwarded from Karin Kneissl official
During the visit of President Bashar al Assad in China, a strategic alliance between #Syria ad #China was signed, next to dozens of other agreements.

Syria plays a key role in the Belt and Road Initiative when it comes to the Eastern Mediterranean. i.e. West Asia.

I remember a conversation with #VonderLeyen in 2019 when I presented a demining project to her, then German Minister of Defence. All she had to say was the following: "Assad must go".

And this doctrine is apparently still upheld in Brussels and 27 EU governments. So they certainly missed the train of reality.

I was recently in Syria, the state has survived all the years of war and terrorism. Farmers till their soil, children go to school and the streets are in good shape, better than in Lebanon.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ On September 22, during a diplomatic meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, he told Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that China would help Syria to rebuild its ruined economy by upgrading ties to a โ€œstrategic partnershipโ€œ, which means close coordination on regional and international affairs, including in the military sphere, and is just one grade below what Beijing calls a โ€œcomprehensive strategic partnershipโ€. After the talks, the two heads of state witnessed the signing of bilateral cooperation documents in the areas of the Belt and Road cooperation, economic, and technological cooperation.

China and Russia are united on the global stage, and thatโ€™s clear in Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East โœŒ๏ธ

๐Ÿฆ… Samantha Power recently arrived in Armenia to meet with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and pledged U.S. support for Armenia in the aftermath of the armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, which has left thousands of Armenians homeless at the hands of Azerbaijan. Power is the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and had previously served as U.S. Ambassador to the UN from 2013-2017.

Power is lying again to the Armenians. In 2014, she lied to the Armenians from the UN, and now she is again lying to the Armenians from USAID, which is an agency of the U.S. State Department.
According to her profile in Forbes, โ€œSamantha Power, the youngest-ever U.S. ambassador to the UN, is considered to be the moral compass of American diplomacyโ€ while adding, โ€œโ€ฆshe has been a powerful crusader for U.S. foreign policy as well as human rights and democracy since she took office in 2013.โ€

Samantha Powerโ€™s moral compass is broken. She stood by lying and humiliating the homeless Armenians in Kessab, Syria in 2014, and she is again lying to the Armenians arriving as refugees in Yerevan.

Samantha Power, Presidents Obama and Biden, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken do not care about Armenia, or Armenians wherever they are ๐Ÿฆ…
