Violence only begets violence and those who kill by sword should be killed by the sword as well. Murder and violence take place in a daily rhythm in Syria between the bloody regime and the defenseless people who are called rebels, supported by officers and soldiers who refused to carry out the orders to kill the civilians and attack towns, villages. What happened in Syria was a simple and peaceful uprising, which took place in its early stages, with minimum casualties, but has now turned into a major uprising and the country is on the verge of a civil war, all because of the brutal repression practiced by President Bashar Al Assad.
(1) The options in dealing with the Syrian crisis are narrowing and the country is sliding into a civil and sectarian war if the international community doesn’t genuinely interfere. The civil war might get worse and spread to the region and take its sparks to Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and Israel and might extend as well to the Gulf States where the Ba’ath regime in Syria, has warned of activating its sleeper cells to wreak havoc and destruction in all countries of the region. Arab League’s efforts have deepened and worsened the crisis and given the regime time to increase the oppression and abuse, rather than stop the daily killing machine. The numbers of deaths and casualties are increasing. More than ten thousand people have been killed. The international pressure, sanctions and boycotts have not borne fruit while the people have been affected. The state of chaos in which the Syrian opposition is living at home and abroad is not favourable. The armed confrontation is on the rise among the remnants of the Free Army, which is leading a fierce guerrilla war against the Syrian forces. This has heavily affected the safety and security of the isolated civilians, regardless of the economic and psychological effects that turned the country into a bloody and long lasting conflict. The Syrian opposition activist Michel Kilo, who spent six years in prison for opposing the Syrian leadership, told the French daily “Le Figaro” that President Al Assad is “desperate” and seeks to turn the conflict into a regional conflict. The remarks made by the Prime Minister of Turkey about signs of emerging civil war were based on information about evident congestion in sectarian ethnicities (as in Homs and Latakia) and nation ethnicities in Hasaka between Kurds and Arabs who were settled by the regime in the places of Kurds in the aim to become an Arab belt.
(2) Russia is selling illusions to the repressive Ba’ath regime by issuing statements supporting the continuous murder practiced by the regime. Russia, the ally of oppression and murder, plans to sell 36 military training aircrafts (Yak - 130) to the murderous Syrian regime. According to the Siyayahasti Research Center in Moscow, the Ba’ath regime in Syria is one of the major buyers of Russian weapons, as it earned about 7%(about $10 bn) of the total Russian arms sales abroad in 2010. The Russian government promotes the roulette game in the region for its allies even if it leads to destroy them. The Russian roulette is a game of chance originated in Russia in which the person puts one bullet in the gun, then rotates the cylinder, which can carry several bullets several times in a way that he does not know whether the bullet will be shot or not, and then he points the gun to his head and triggers on. If he puts one bullet, the possibility of his death is 1 of 6 that is 16.667%. The game is used for many reasons, including suicide or proof of false courage. This exactly which is practiced by the Syrian regime excellently practices but with slight modification: sometimes it shots the bullet on its people and sometimes on his head while the Russian government is ecstatically watching amid the condemnation from the entire world. Russia’s death game promoted by Syria will only ultimately lead to perish. If playing with fire leads to be affected by its sparks, so what will be the result if one plats with bullets, firearms, tanks, bomb cities and villages by aircraft and uses thugs to terrorize the people and kill the demonstrators in the streets? At the end Russia will leave the Syrian regime to meet its ill fate, bear in mind what Mikhail Margelov, one of the most prominent close friends of the Russian president saying that Russia cannot do for the Al Assad regime more than it did?! Even the Russian leader Vladimir Putin threatened Al Assad, demanding him “either to start real reforms or to leave.”
(3) It is necessary the International Security Council should intervene since the begging of the open confrontation with the people who demands freedom and dignity without wasting all this time, press Russia and China to change their stands, and not give the opportunity to the regime to exercise all these crimes, withdraw its legitimacy and protect the civilians from the murder and continuous bombing through the implementation the No fly zone and the establishment of safe areas. We must commend the statement issued by a number of people from the Alawite sect in Syria, in which they emphasized their support for the demands of the Syrian Revolution, deploring attempts to link the Alawite, in particular and minorities in general, to the repression and killings carried out by the Syrian regime, which is considered part of the Alawite sect. The signatories of the statement called the Syrian army to stop issuing murder orders against peaceful demonstrators, strongly deploring the brutal acts of repression carried out by the thugs in the regime regardless of the religious or national groups they belong to. They also emphasized the importance of the Syrian people unity including all religious and national spectra and to work to build a free and democratic state that preserves the equal rights of its citizens. This can only be done by toppling the current authoritarian regime.
