Syria: Egregious Lies and Crimes Are The Foundation of Western Foreign Policy

NOVANEWS By Mark Taliano Global Research This article was first published by GR on May 2017. Syrians are just like you and me. They seek to live happy, secure lives, in which they can thrive and prosper. NATO terrorists are destroying Syria, and they have been destroying Syria for about six years.  Infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, water supplies, electric plants, roads and bridges have been and continue to be targeted and destroyed. Video by Pierre Le Corf Syrian resident and documentary film maker Tom Duggan bears witness to the terrorists’ willful destruction of schools and school infrastructure throughout Syria as well as the theft of factory equipment and the willful destruction of factories in Aleppo. NATO terrorists deny Syrians safety, and the means to earn...

Syria – Russia Accusing U.S. of Attacks, Abduction Attempts, Team-play with Al-Qaeda

NOVANEWS By Moon of Alabama Global Research The situation in Syria is reaching another critical point. There is an increased possibility of a large scale clash between U.S. and Russian forces. We had warned of such a clash over control of the rich fields east of Deir Ezzor. At least three incidents over the last days point to more significant escalations. On the 17th the U.S. accused Russia of a light air attack on its proxy forces north of Deir Ezzor. Russia denied that it had attacked those forces. On the 18th and 19th large contingents of Russian and Syrian troops crossed the Euphrates at Deir Ezzor in east-Syria. The U.S. Kurdish/Arab proxy force in the area actively tried to hinder that movement. In parallel a large al-Qaeda attack was launched in west-Syria. The...

U.S. killing more civilians in Iraq, Syria than it acknowledges

NOVANEWS Paul Wood and Richard Hall (Photo: GlobalPost) Corrections & Clarifications: An earlier version of this article misstated how many civilian deaths the coalition has acknowledged. The correct number it has admitted to is 21. ISTANBUL — Al Gharra is a mud-brick village built on hard, flat Syrian desert and populated by the descendants of Bedouin. It is a desolate place. Everything is dun colored: the bare, single-story houses and the stony desert they stand on. There is not much farming — it is too dry — just a few patches of cotton and tobacco. Before the war, villagers got a little money from the government to look after the national park on Mount Abdul-Aziz, a barren rock that rises 3,000 feet behind the village and stretches miles into the distance. Mount Abdul-Az...

Hell Valley: Are Iran, Russia and N Korea Making Long-Range Missiles in Syria?

NOVANEWS Speculations about a secret Syrian factory in the Hell Valley producing long-range ballistic missiles with the assistance from Iran, Russia and North Korea is yet another "horror story" which bears no relationship to reality, experts told Sputnik, explaining what is behind the new anti-Assad propaganda attack. © REUTERS/ SANA 'Assad Mustn't Go': How Qatar, France, Germany 'Wised Up in Regard to Syria' The story of a secret Syrian research factory developing long-range ballistic missiles under the auspices of Iran, Russia and North Korea is nothing but a fantasy aimed at justifying Washington's interference in Syrian affairs, experts told Sputnik Iran.On Wednesday Adam Kredo of the Washington Free Beacon reported citing the Syrian opposition news website Zamana...

Syria – These Maps Show a Year of Progress in the Government’s Campaign against Al Qaeda and ISIS

NOVANEWS By: Moon of Alabama Featured image: Pro-government forces hold the Syrian flag as they pose for a photo in the village of al-Sahel, near the rebel held town of Yabrud, nearly 80 kilometres north of Damascus, on March 4, 2014. Three maps of Syria show the immense progress the Syrian government forces and their allies have made over the last few month. During the last half year the Syrian Arab Army not only liberated al-Qaeda held parts of east-Aleppo city, but also the Islamic State held eastern part of Aleppo governate. The closing move happened yesterday when the last ISIS held area in the governate was cut off and the enemy retreated. The area north of the arrows is now free of ISIS fighters. Mines, IEDs and sleeper agents still need to be searched for. via Isla...

Assad, allies to prevail in Syria, drive US out: Ex-US envoy

NOVANEWS A former American ambassador to Syria says the Syrian government and its allies, including Iran, will ultimately frustrate attempts by the United States to influence Syrian matters and will drive the US out of the Arab country. Robert Ford, who served as the US’s envoy to Syria under former US president Barack Obama, made the remarks in an interview with the London-based Arabic-language newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat on Monday. He said the US was, first of all, mistaken in giving support to the opposition in Syria back in 2011 and demanding Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s ouster. Ford said he knew that that expression of support would encourage certain elements of the opposition to take up arms and expect a US invasion against Damascus, which he said would not be forthcoming. F...

How Western Sanctions Not War Almost Entirely Destroyed Syria’s Medical Industry

NOVANEWS By Sputnik   Syria has been living under Western sanctions for many years now. These sanctions concern even such an important sphere of the country as its medicine and medical supplies. Western medicines and spare parts for expensive European medical devices are not available in the country and that has a devastating effect on its civilians. A pharmaceutical plant in the suburbs of Aleppo has started its production after Sheikh Najar district was liberated from militants. The workers at the plant are seen packing tablets, along the conveyor belt medicines in bottles are seen being transported. Although production has started once again after years of being shut down, the plant is not enough to help everyone. Despite the popular belief of war affecting the production in...

SYRIA ANALYSIS: The Collapse of ISIS & the Standoff in Syria

NOVANEWS By Dr Leon Tressell I was asked by Dr Leon Tressell to re-post this very lengthy article he recently published at SouthFront. In it, he provides a very thorough analysis of the situation now in Syria; and of the actions and motivations of the various players and power-blocs involved in the conflict and how the situation in Syria is likely to play out. ‘Do any these power blocs, that have carved out spheres of influence in northern Syria, offer a solution to the Syrian people’s desperate desire for peace and the reconstruction of their country?’ he asks.  Below is the full article, reproduced here with his permission, including the original images and maps.  __________________ The apparent collapse of Isis in northern and eastern Syria, as well as its impending eviction f...
