🔮 #Assad, de retour au sein de la Ligue arabe : qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour la #Syrie ?

📍Un article de Giorgio Cafiero pour The Cradle

La réconciliation arabe avec la #Syrie est une voie à double sens, les deux parties cherchant à obtenir des concessions majeures de

Bien que le discours de M. Assad ait eu une portée rhétorique et symbolique importante, il reste à savoir si le fait que la Syrie soit redevenue membre de la Ligue arabe et qu'elle ait été chaleureusement accueillie par l'Arabie saoudite apportera les changements tangibles

Si cela s'avĂšre exact, il s'agirait d'une concession majeure de la part des États du CCG, qui renforcerait le sentiment de confiance de TĂ©hĂ©ran dans la rĂ©gion aprĂšs l'accord diplomatique du 10 mars avec

En #Turquie les bureaux de vote ferment

Le taux de participation est bien plus bas que d’habitude (Ă  prĂ©ciser, tournerait autour de 82%)

 c’est le seul facteur d’incertitude pour les Ă©quipes de #Erdoğan

En attendant les 1eres remontĂ©es, je voudrais en profiter pour analyser la stratĂ©gie d’entre deux tours d’#Erdoğan qui me semble caractĂ©ristique de sa philosophie politique nationaliste depuis 20 ans :
Tandis que #Kilicdaroğlu a exploitĂ© Ă  fond le discours anti-Syriens, #Erdoğan a eu des dĂ©clarations claires sur le fait qu’il ne "mettrait pas dehors" ses "frĂšres syriens"

C’est vrai, il perdrait ainsi un de ses leviers de chantage sur l’#UE, mais c’est plus profond que ça :

Why did #Assad survive against all odds?

Losing was never an option

Alternative wasn’t going to involve retiring to a farm or taking up painting

Your own neck was first

Your entire sect were to follow quickly after

Of course you were going to call Iran/Russia or the Devil Image
But it wasn’t just Assad that made this calculus

Scores of different groups were going to be accused of being “regime supporters”

Their own necks were going to be next

The judge was going to be anyone who points fingers at you for being Shabih ŰŽŰšÙŠŰ­

@KevorkAlmassian
Western capitals & #Syria experts in the meantime were seeing the crisis from the prism of

Goodbye to dictatorship and hello to freedom and democracy

This rather simple but elegant narrative of the crisis was totally oblivious to the more real visceral & bloody nature of it

The American Jewish Congress released a statement on May 8, 2023 on Bashar Al Assad rejoining the Arab League. This is a good time to recall why this is not a good idea after #Assad attended an Arab Summit in #SaudiArabia over the weekend. Read this #threadâŹ‡ïž/1

@JackRosenNYC
The #AmericanJewishCongress is alarmed that efforts are underway to rehabilitate #BasharAssad. Before any normalization, Assad needs to talk to the opposition, eliminate #Iran presence in #Syria, and initiate a political transition in accordance with UNSCR 2254. /2
Sharing our concerns about rehabilitating #BasharAlAssad is more than half of Syria’s population displaced by #Assad’s actions over the past decade, says @JackRosenNYC, President of #AmericanJewishCongress. /3

 #Syrien #ArabLeague #Syria #Assad
Die Wiederaufnahme Syrien in die Arabische Liga sei ein "Schock" und werde den Prozess der politischen BemĂŒhungen zum Erliegen bringen, sagte etwa der Leiter des Verhandlungsteams bei den ins Stocken geratenen FriedensgesprĂ€chen der Vereinten Nationen, Badr Dschamous. #Syrien
Der maßgeblich von den Kurden getragene „Demokratische Rat Syriens“ Ă€ußerte sich positiver. Er hob die Chancen auf eine Überwindung der tiefen Krise im Land hervor. #Syrien

The Continuing Regional Rapprochement of #Syria and #Assad

In January I wrote about how, after over 10 years of brutal war pushed and funded by outside powers, the #MiddleEast was accepting that the #Syrian Arab Republic, led by #Assad would stay in power.

The #USA and #NATO countries have been unhappy about things turning out this way, especially as #Syria is a close ally of #Russia. However, the Muslim states of the region are seeing that the future is cooperation, and that the SAR has won the war.

1. Why did Gulf kingdoms embrace Iran? When the #GulfArab states saw what happened in Iran over one #Kurdish woman who stood up to became the #Mideast version of Rosa Parks, they all panicked. Remember, the US lists as terrorists a group whose ideology seeks #genderequality.
2. That continued listing over an ideology we support is something @POTUS @VP and @SecBlinken need to explain. But in the interim, we are seeing the #Arab word suddenly embracing #Assad, a blood soaked chemical weapon-using, sociopathic dictator. Why?
3. Because he's the one they have tapped to eliminate the #Syrian #Kurds. And all the #misogynists cheer him as their standard bearer. And once the #SDF is gone and the #women once again relegated to second-class rights, they can get back to business

I hope that no one in Europe or US will ever forget abt #Assad mass murderer and that in couple years from now, when Ru will have only butter knives left to defend one the worst criminal in recent history we will go there to bring him back to the @IntelCrimCourt @CourPenaleInt
2/ because this guy is responsible like Putin of almost 8 millions permanent refugees (by the way none one them to this day really created any problems in the countries they went to) and hundreds thousands of direct murders including massacre of children by chemical attacks or
3/ even torture and rape...
hundreds thousands. like 10 times more that the worst Russians ever did until now (& they did really terrible things out there)
so i hope we are not just simply going to forget about that guy and all his croonies...
that would be worse than all.

Notable flare-up of strikes & counter-strikes at #Syria/#Iraq border; between #US & #Iran proxies.

(? Timing ?
in the wake of #Saudi-Iranian rapprochement; & few days after serious steps of Saudi-#Assad normalization). theguardian.com/world/2023/mar

#US airstrikes on facilities used by #Iran’s proxies came in retaliation to a drone strike in north-east #Syria that killed a US contractor & injured five American troops.
Strikes killed six fighters at an arms depot in the Harabesh neighbourhood in the city of #Deir_Ezzor.
Interesting:

“Diplomacy to de-escalate the crisis appeared immediately around the strikes. #Qatar reported a call between its foreign minister & Jake Sullivan, the #US national security adviser. Qatar’s foreign minister then spoke with the #Iranian FM Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.”

Normalizing #Assad; cntn’d


“#Syria & #Saudi_Arabia have agreed to reopen their embassies after cutting diplomatic ties more than a decade ago; a step that would mark a leap forward in Damascus's return to the Arab fold.” reuters.com/world/middle-e

“The decision was the result of talks in #Saudi_Arabia with a senior #Syrian intelligence official.
A Gulf diplomat said a high-ranking Syrian intelligence official "stayed for days" in Riyadh & agreement was struck to reopen embassies "very soon".”
“One regional source identified the official as #Hussam_Louqa, who heads #Syria's #intelligence committee; talks included security on Syria's border w #Jordan & the smuggling of captagon to the Arab #Gulf, from Syria.”

Wenn das Leben nicht heilig wĂ€re, gĂ€be es eigentlich nur eines "Tod den Diktatoren, Leben fĂŒr die Freiheit."
Die Rangliste der Diktatoren ist lang. Und wĂ€re noch von paar Jahren #Assad einer der schlimmsten gewesen, hat #Putin ihm den Rang abgelaufen. #XiJinPing ist vergleichsweise ein harmloser Diktator im Vergleichs zu den Mullahs im #Iran, aber geht auch ĂŒber Leichen.
Frag mich gerade ob es eine "Hitliste" der menschenverachtensten Regime gibt, so zusammengestellt aus vollstreckten Todesstrafen, gefallenen Soldaten und ermordeten wie auch gefolterten Menschen. Das #Putin in der Zwischenzeit schlimmer ist als #Assad ist ja nur eine Vermutung.

1- The heinous Syrian regime and its allies are taking advantage of the tragedy of the Syrian #earthquake in the most appalling manner possible, with the intention of gaining international sympathy and burying its crimes against the #Syrian people. I will share some stories. ImageImage
2- A Syrian singer named Nassif Zeitoun recently released a song supposedly sympathizing with the earthquake victims, but used a great deal of lies and propaganda, presenting footage from northwestern Syria and attributing it to areas controlled by the regime. ImageImage
3- The singer used clips of rescue operations carried out by the #WhiteHelmets, but deliberately obscured their presence. He also displayed footage of the Syrian regime's civil defense army, Red Crescent, and army personnel in a clear and unambiguous manner. ImageImage

1- Every day, I feel the magnitude of our tragedy more and more, with every story you hear, you feel the enormous disappointment they have as #Syrians, as they telling you that they heard the last voices of their loved ones under the rubble and could not do anything for them.
2- Today, a White Helmet friend was telling me his story, he lost his mother, brother, six nephews, and several other relatives.. "We dug with our bare hands for hours and saved many people, but we gradually stopped hearing the voices of survivors under the rubble.
3- The scene was the same every time we reached a person under the rubble. You would see him embracing all his children and his wife, and died side by side. It was very cold, like the Day of Resurrection, due to the destruction and horror of the scene.

#Syrie Dans la localitĂ© de Jindires au nord-ouest d’#Alep, 230 syriens originaire de Haresta dans les faubourgs de #Damas sont morts Ă  la suite du sĂ©isme. Ces syriens avaient Ă©tĂ© dĂ©portĂ©s aprĂšs la reconquĂȘte de la banlieue de Damas par #Assad et #Poutine. 1/4

Amid years of criticism, @UN officials constantly reiterate their commitment to "the humanitarian imperative" in #Syria.

But let's be honest: that's BS.

The @UN is more concerned about managing their relations in #Damascus than prioritizing the lives of those in the northwest.
@UN Leadership at @UN HQ has consistently kowtowed to #Assad regime demands; allowed the systematic weaponization of aid & failed to crackdown on regime-fueled corruption within the aid system.

Investigations into all these issues -- & CWs too -- are often squashed or kept private.
@UN In the wake of the earthquake, #Assad's regime said *at the @UN* that disaster relief should *only* come via #Damascus.

Then the @UN claimed that road damage was why relief to the NW wasn't coming via the #Turkey border.

As time passes, that reasoning just isn't adding up.
