NO RESPITE IN SIGHT

It is indeed heartbreaking as we watch what is happening in Syria with utmost disquiet yet no one world leader or country seems to know how best to deal with a the humanitarian aspects of a very devastating situation. The Americans and their allies NATO were clueless in handling Asad' regime by funding and equipping an ill pockets of rebel to dethrone his government; openly backed by a Sunni Saudi Arabia, at the same time opposed by a Shiite Iran for geo-ethnic reasons; with little or no plans to deal with the humanitarian crisis that will ensue. It is a dejavu, for as it was with Iraq and Libya so it now is with Syria.

Seeing the chaos and height of disastrous catastrophe, ISIS capitalized on the disorderly situation and infiltrated into Syria, for they knew it will be a perfect cover for them to unleash venomous terror in a a heinous way like no other. War crimes are committed on daily basis both by soldiers defending Damascus from falling into the hands of the rebels or ISIS ; and worst still they even more ferociously committed by ISIS and the rebels all on the same powerless, weaponless civilians whose crimes are that they are citizens; be they christians or muslims.

Russia has entered the fray, yet no respite in sight for the ordinary citizens of Syria. Syria is down, yet geo-ethnic politics will not allow Saudi Arabia, Quata, UAE, to open their doors to dying Syrians; they would rather watch them die as they strive to get Europe, how inhumane. As Europe grapples to manage a very bad situation, no offer of financial support to the Euro zone from any of these Sunni wealthy nations. I hope Russia' Vladimir Putin achieves his goal in less than four months, so as bring all warring parties to the conflict resolution table, for the sake of the very elderly who cannot, who will not embark on the long walk, or risky trips to Europe.
