The Weaponization of Western “Aid” for Syria | Global Research
The UN and the United States have laid blame squarely on the Syrian
government for blocking international aid convoys from reaching victims
of Syria’s ongoing conflict. The BBC in its article, “Syria crisis: UN says no aid improvement despite vote,” claimed:
The UN has said
that there has been no humanitarian improvement for millions of Syrians
since the Security Council passed a resolution last month to increase
aid deliveries.
UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said that much of the blame
lay with President Bashar al-Assad’s government. She accused it of an
arbitrary and unjustified refusal to grant aid convoys access to remoter
areas. Baroness Amos said violence, including sexual violence,
continued to increase.The Syrian government has yet to respond to her
allegations but has consistently argued that it is doing its utmost to
get food and medical supplies to people in less accessible areas. In
February, the Security Council called on all parties to allow aid to
cross conflict lines and borders.
However, what the UN and the US
have both failed to mention is the disingenuous intentions, means, and
methods behind these so-called “aid convoys” attempting to reach “people
in less accessible areas.” These would be areas held by foreign-backed
militants, including members of the US State Department designated terrorist organization,
Jabhat Al Nusra – Al Qaeda’s Syrian franchise and guilty of some of the
worst atrocities carried out during the conflict real or imagined on
either side.
To see how “arbitrary and
unjustified” the Syrian government’s refusals are to grant access to
remote areas controlled by terrorists by Western “aid convoys,” one must
consider emerging evidence regarding the nature of these so-called
convoys and the general practice of the West sending relief into a
conflict of their own design.
