The Bishops

April 27, 2013 - 8:25pm
 Two Christian Bishops were kidnapped in Aleppo on Monday. Subsequently, there was a news report that both had been released. This is not true. The Greek Orthodox archbishop, Paul Yazigi, and the Syriac Orthodox archbishop, Yohanna Ibrahim remain captive. Mikhail writes: "It looks like even people of peace are not escaping the furnaces in Syria. The Chechnya rebels are holding them  not because they are kuffar only but because they support the government and they will pass a judgment for slaughter. Both drivers were killed. We must pray for their release."

Ghayth's Poem

April 24, 2013 - 11:14pm
Many of you know Ghayth Armanazi. He has written a poem in the London Magazine which may touch your heart:

SUFFER THE COUNTRY

Suffer the curled up corpses of the tortured
Suffer the cluttered ranks of the bound and the beaten
Suffer the pleading eyes of those to be slain
Suffer the insanity of the bullet, the tank, the gunship
And the firebreathing jet
Suffer the shredded streets and the destroyed dreams
Suffer the stretching legions of the bereft and tormented
Suffer the terror-stricken and the destitute massed into heartless refuges
Suffer the geostrategist heads of abattoirs seeking their pounds of flesh
And their share of the carcass
Suffer the unpitying despot and the holy warrior
Suffer the theft and wreck of an eon’s inheritance
Suffer the cowardly soulsearchers and the mendacious handwringers
Suffer the glib wordiness of the actionless purveyors of sympathy

TAKE HEART THE COUNTRY

Yet, take heart from the millennia of priceless History
Take heart from the passing of countless invaders and tyrants
Take heart from a nation sewn from a galaxy of threads
Take heart from a people forged in the conquest of adversity
Take heart from a heritage of inclusion and embrace
Take heart from the majesty of Palmyra and the spirit of Zenobia
Take heart from ageless Aleppo and eternal Damascus
Take heart from those who gifted humankind the alphabet
Take heart from the builders of Canaan and the founders of Carthage
Take Heart from the saga of St Paul and the glory of the Ommayads
Take heart from the rise of the Phoenix from its fabled soil.

Ghayth Armanazi

SYRIA REPORT 66

April 9, 2013 - 1:15pm

This report prepared by Gaanashree Wood, our Chief Syria Research officer, is the latest in out series on Syria. When we call these “casualties” we are being euphemistic. These reports are of numbers killed. They represent the latest complete figures we have available. At a time when much of the Muslim world has just celebrated Nowraz, the Jewish world is celebrating Passover and the Christians about to celebrate Easter it seems untimely but it is ready so we send it. Full background figures can be found on our Syria blog and we commend it to those of you who are specialists. 
Many accuse us of inflating figures. We try to do the reverse. We are very cautious with both government and opposition sources, trying to use only the most reliable and even then, minimising their claims which are often grossly inflated. We revise our methods and sources regularly and will do so again but we recognise that these figures are best used for COMPARISON rather than read as an accurate death toll.
We expect civilian death tolls to fall in coming weeks because of the continuing increase in numbers of refugees fleeing the fighting. We do not expect the Syrian civil war to be resolved quickly in the absence of a negotiated settlement, and certainly not within the year. 

Monthly Casualties from July 2012 to February 2013


There seems to be little or no prospect of a peaceful resolution of the Syrian civil war as the conflict enters its third year. For now, the only silver lining is that civilian casualty figures have “stabilised” and are no longer rising. This is because of the steady emptying of the cities and countryside as the people flee the fighting to take refuge in neighbouring states. Meanwhile, rebel figures are on a slight rise and government figures seem to constantly fluctuate. To date, over 70, 000 have been killed and over 2 million displaced within Syria.

The total number of Syrian refugees officially passed 1 million in March. According to the UN, this would be equivalent to the entire population of Birmingham, UK leaving. Everyday there are thousands of Syrians fleeing across the border into Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey. Many of these refugees are families who forced to live in confined tents or rooms with no working toilets, electricity or running water. Most of the refugees are destitute and struggle to support themselves. In the past weeks, there have been horrific stories about Syrian women being forced to prostitute themselves in order for their families to survive. With little or no income, prostitution is the only way for them to survive. As the number of refugees increases so do their desperation.
Andrew Harper, chief of the U.N. refugee commission in Jordan stated that, "We have seen no evidence of prostitution in the refugee camps, but we have heard rumors of it," said "Given the vulnerability of women, the camp's growing population and the lack of resources, I'm not surprised that some may opt for such actions."
Having been forced to abandon and flee their homes with their families, refugees are now being forced to pay exorbitant rents to landowners in Lebanon. Refugees are charged to pitch their tents as Lebanese landowners cash in on the influx.
Syrian children have also been severely affected by this conflict. With over a million refugees, almost half are children under the age of 11. Many of them had to flee their homes and watched their families get killed in front of them. According to Save the Children, three quarters of children have experienced the death of a relative or close friend.The $1.5 billion pledged by the international community towards humanitarian aid has failed to materialise. The money was promised at a conference in Kuwait at the beginning of the year. Officials say they barely received a fifth of the aid money. The money reaching those who need it is very slim. Hospitals especially are overwhelmed and desperately need medical supplies. Without the aid money, they are struggling to help the sick and injured. Recently US Secretary of State John Kerry promised $60 million aid.
The announcement was made at a “Friends of Syria” meeting in Rome on 28th February. In his announcement, Kerry said the extra aid was designed to "strengthen the organizational capacity of the Syrian Opposition Coalition." How is this money going to be spent? The Department of State provided a detailed breakdown to Congress. It includes:
·         $10 million for Middle East Partnership Initiative programming to support local councils inside Syria.
·         $30 million to create a SOC Support Program within the USAID Office of Transition Initiatives. The OTI Syria program was established with a $5 million reprogramming in late 2012.
·         $7 million for USAID "repair and maintenance" programs to improve services (may refer to opposition controlled areas and presumably includes water, electricity, and/or public health)
·         $6 million for State's Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations to support the their training programs for the SOC and media programs with the opposition
·         $7 million spread over various programs to support mine and unexploded ordinance safety training, transitional justice programs, and counter-sectarianism program
In light of the recent aid announcements, Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib announced his resignation on 24thMarch stating frustration over the inactivity of the international community and internal struggles as reasons. Following his announcement, the Syrian National Coalition was invited to assume the Syria’s seat in the Arab League in a 2-day summit in Qatar, hosted by the Emir of Qatar.
The al-Assad government was “enraged” that the Arab League offered seat to “bandits and thugs.” Moaz al-Khatib’s resignation came days after US-based Islamist Ghassan Hitto was elected by the opposition to be prime minister of an alternative administration that could govern rebel-held areas from inside Syria. However, Russia criticised the Arab League for offering Syria’s official seat to the opposition coalition. In a statement, Moscow described the move as "yet another anti-Syrian" step and illegal under international law.
During his recent trip to Israel, President Obama made it clear that the US will not hinder any countries’ decision to provide arms to Syrian rebel groups, following Britain’s and France’s decision to urge fellow EU states to life the current arms embargo. However, they faced strong resistance from Germany and other EU states. Despite the prolonged violence, rising number of refugees and high casualty rates, there is little support amongst the public for direct military intervention or of providing “non-lethal support” to rebels. The decision to lift the arms embargo will come under review again in May.

Bashar on the Back Foot

April 9, 2013 - 12:19pm

President Bashar Al-Assad yesterday used weighty rhetoric to deter further support for the rebel forces, claiming that if they were to take power, it would "lead to a state of instability for years and maybe decades to come." Assad may be right to point out the dangers of a quickly and completely destabilised Syria. The rebel forces are disparate and some factions contain elements of extremism, including the Al-Nusra Front. Israel is already worried by incursions into the Golan Heights by rebel forces. There is also a great deal of concern amongst foreign leaders as to the whereabouts of chemical weapons within Syrian borders and the fact that they may fall into terrorist hands with a change of power. A concern not lightened by the Syrian authorities, as yesterday they refused entry to a UN group charged with inspecting the use of chemical weapons.

The rhetoric used by Assad suggests a worried leader on the back foot, adamant that he still lives in Damascus despite recent rebel advances on the city and having lost swathes of the country in the North and East. He condemns Western powers and claims that "the Turkish government is knee-deep in Syrian blood." Yet he fails to acknowledge the government forces part in the huge toll the war has taken on Syria. According to UN figures, the death toll is above 70,000. Here at the Next Century Foundation we continue to record a high death toll (last month the total was 5,399). More than a million refugees have left the country and, according to the Syrian Red Crescent, more than four million have been displaced internally.

It is clear that the sooner the conflict can be brought to a close, the better. The rebels are unlikely to be appeased by anything other than the removal of Assad from power, especially since the resignation of the moderate Moaz Al-Khatib from the opposition leadership. However, there is an element of truth in Assad's assertion. The shift of power must be handled carefully, as a rapid overthrow may lead to wider destabilisation in the region.

The 9-Year Anniversary of the 2004 Qamishli Kurdish Uprising in Syria

March 3, 2013 - 6:01am
Hejar asked us to post the following:

Nine years have passed since the Kurdish uprising occurred in Qamishli and other Kurdish areas in Syria, and Syrian Kurds are still in need of equal rights and self-determination. Since the start of the Syrian Revolution in 2011, the Kurds also took part in the revolution, but the Syrian opposition did not take into consideration the Kurdish issue. How and when will the Kurdish question be answered in Syria? and How do Syrian Kurds see themselves in the new Syria? We will address these questions in the meeting entitled: "The 9-Year Anniversary of the 2004 Qamishli Kurdish Uprising in Syria" which will take place at the House of Lords on the 12th March. This meeting is hosted by Lord Ahmed and organized by Youth of the Syrian Revolution in UK along with the Kurdish National Council and the Syrian Kurdish Center. Places are limited. Please contact Hejar Ibrahim Moustafa to register at: syria-uk@hotmail.com

SYRIA OVERVIEW 2012-2013

February 13, 2013 - 6:00pm


A review of 2012

Casualty figures have been well documented by various organisations providing a comprehensive archive of names, videos and pictures. Most of these organisations are concerned primarily with the documentation of civilian figures as government and rebel casualties are much harder to document due in part to restrictions placed by the Syrian Government (and indeed by the conflict itself) on both the media and voluntary organisations. The actual death toll may be higher as many cases may go unrecorded as bodies are quickly buried to prevent the spread of disease.


2013 so far…As we move deeper into this winter of discontent, civilian casualty figures finally showed signs of decreasing, while rebel figures are on a slight rise and government figures have declined slightly. This is because of the steady emptying of the cities and countryside as the people flee the fighting to take refuge in neighbouring states. Those displaced have expressed great anger at the negligence of the Arab world and the international community for not acting. Over 700,000 refugees continue to live in dire conditions in refugee camps. If, as seems likely, present trends continue, these numbers will reach over 1.1 million before the summer. More than $1.5 billion has been pledged to help those affected by the conflict after an appeal by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Following this Moaz al-Khatib, the leader of the Western backed National Coalition faction of the Syrian Opposition, stated he was willing to hold direct talks with the Syrian Government. He offered talks with Assad’s vice-president Farouq al-Sharaa. This came following talks with Russian and Iranian foreign ministers on 2 February 2013. He also met with US vice-president Joe Biden and UN-Arab League Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi at the Munich conference.However, some of his own opposition supporters from the Syrian National Council reacted negatively, rejecting any negotiations with the Syrian government whilst other more secular groups not in the National Coalition said they favoured talks which, in common with Moaz al-Khatib, they argued could halt the killings and destruction. Russia in now planning a meeting of Syrian opposition groups in Moscow this week. Following President Putin's visit to Turkey earlier this month, his spokesperson said, "if the al-Assad regime goes then the number of refugees flowing into Turkey would rise from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Syria will turn into a lake of blood". The US has remained staunch in its stand regarding the situation in Syria. Although the Obama administration has called for President Assad to step down, they claim a direct military intervention would trigger more violence and this could lead to greater chaos and carnage. According to UN-Arab League Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, Syria is being destroyed “bit by bit” and “unprecedented levels of horror have been reached”. He urged the UN Security Council to overcome their differences and “grapple with this problem now”.   Meanwhile, there has been a petition by over 58 nations to the ICC (International Criminal Court) to investigate Assad for war crimes. Many NGOs supporting the opposition such as the SNHR (Syrian Network for Human Rights) have thrown their weight behind the call for the ICC to investigate. However, Syria is not a signatory to the Rome Statute. Switzerland has requested that the situation be referred to the ICC by the UN Security Council. Russia has objected on the grounds that such an action will be “untimely” and “counterproductive”.Arguably any referral to the ICC would useless and indeed counterproductive if the case of President al-Bashir of Sudan who was indicted for crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide in 2009 is anything to go by. The ICC issued two arrest warrants but the Sudanese state refused to cooperate and retaliated by expelling many NGOs. Al-Bashir lives in open defiance of the ICC. He has since travelled to various African states, some of whom are signatories of the Rome Statute but has never been apprehended.On 29 Jan 2013, at least 71 bodies were found by a river in the western Bustan al-Qasr district, in the Northern city of Aleppo. The bodies were found with their hands bound and gun shots to the head. Rebels groups now claim over a 108 bodies have been found since then. While the Syrian government, the Al-Nusra and rebel groups play the blame game, distraught families are left to identify the remains of their missing loved ones.
