Conférence de presse du Dr Bachar al-Jaafari, suite à la Déclaration finale d’Astana, par l’ambassadeur de Syrie a l’ONU Bachar al-Jaafari, al-Fadaiya via Mondialisation 27/1/2017

[Texte intégral]

Communiqué du Dr Bachar al-Jaafari, chef de la délégation du gouvernement syrien à Astana
Mesdames et Messieurs,
Ces deux derniers jours, nous avons travaillé dur, jour et nuit, pour le succès de cette réunion et avons fait tout notre possible pour surmonter les obstacles. C’est pourquoi, nous croyons que la réunion d’Astana a réussi à atteindre « l’objectif de cessation des hostilités pour une période déterminée » qui ouvre au dialogue politique, en cours, entre Syriens.
À cette occasion, comme je l’ai déjà fait, nous remercions la Direction du Kazakhstan de toutes les facilités qu’elle nous a accordées pour le succès de nos réunions et de nos travaux.
Nous remercions, tout particulièrement, nos amis russes et iraniens pour les énormes efforts consentis, lesquels ont efficacement contribué à cette réussite. Et cela, dans le but de stopper l’effusion du sang syrien et de travailler avec ces groupes [armés] afin de vaincre, ensemble, le terrorisme et de reconstruire la Syrie.
Et nous disons aux États de la région connus pour leur soutien aux terroristes : c’est assez. Assez ! Vous avez dilapidé les richesses de vos peuples, amené le terrorisme dans vos pays, pris la responsabilité de faire couler le sang syrien. Le temps est venu de reconsidérer les erreurs de vos politiques pour le bien de votre peuple et le bien des peuples de la région……………….

Fighting is escalating in northern Syria between Al-Qaeda-linked groups and mercenary-terrorists from other factions.

The first to attack were fighters from the foreign-backed jihadist-mercenaries of the Al-Nusra Front (now self-renamed ‘Fatah al-Sham Front’).

The mercenary-terrorist gangs have issued a statement saying that their attacks on other armed groups were to prevent a ‘conspiracy’ against them.

The Turkish security forces are training some Syrians as part of a force to take action in the areas which they occupy in northern Syria.

According to the ‘Yeni Shafak’ newspaper, translated by the Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar, 450 Syrians undergo a training by the Turkish armed forces to be deployed into the main Syrian-occupied Turkish cities.

It should function as a guarantee for the security of the area.

“Turkey wants to train up to 5,000 police officers as part of this project,” added the paper, with a video of training during which the trained fighters chant slogans, including: “Allahou- Akbar against all oppressors! Long live Turkey! Long live Erdogan! Long live free and worthy Syria!”………………….

“We worked over the last two days painstakingly around the clock to make this meeting a success, and we did everything we could to remove the obstructions. Therefore, we believe that Astana meeting succeeded in achieving the goal of consolidating the cessation of hostilities for a specific period of time, which would pave the way for dialogue among the Syrians,” al-Jaafari told a press conference in the capital of Kazakhstan, that hosted a two-day meeting on the crisis in Syria.

He expressed thanks to the Kazakh leadership “for all the facilitations it provided to help our meetings and activities succeed.”

Al-Jaafari also extended thanks to the “Russian and Iranian friends” for their great efforts that have effectively contributed to make a success of the cessation of hostilities in order to reach towards stopping the Syrian bloodshed and working together with these groups to eliminate terrorism and reconstruct Syria.

“Stop playing with fire and betting on losing cards. Everybody has lost, including the countries supporting terrorism. Terrorism has arrived in their own backyards, which is something that we warned of from the very beginning,” said al-Jaafari.

“It was distressful that we had to sit in the same room with other Syrians that are linked to foreign agendas and are working for foreign authorities, and some of them are committed to terrorist groups,” said al-Jaafari, noting that this also happened before in Moscow and Geneva.
“However, no matter the cost, we would do that to save our state and our people. We do that according to a certain framework and a certain agenda, and also in light of the expected meetings, and we don’t do it without planning,” he added……………….

Soros has provided funding to at least 56 of the march’s “partners” including “key partners” such as the National Resource Defense Council, which opposes President Donald Trump’s environmental policies, and Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump’s stance on abortion.

Touted by the mainstream media and its organizers as a spontaneous, grassroots demonstration in support of female rights and other progressive causes, the Women’s March on Washington drew over 500,000 to the streets of the US capital on January 21.

It’s likely few if any of the assembled knew that over 50 of the groups involved in forming the march have received funding from billionaire activist George Soros.

Preliminary research conducted by the alternative media indicates Soros has provided funding to at least 56 of the march’s “partners,” including “key partners” such as the National Resource Defense Council, which opposes President Donald Trump’s environmental policies, and Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump’s stance on abortion.

… … …

For instance, activist Harry Belafonte is named as an honorary co-chair. Belafonte sits on the board of the Advancement Project, which received significant funding of four primary recipients of money from electoral reform group the Election Administration Fund. The Fund received at least US$5.1 million from the Open Society Institute. Belafonte also founded the Gathering for Justice group, the recipient of numerous grants from Soros’ Open Society Foundations ever since.

Other groups include the American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, CODEPINK, Green For All, NARAL Pro-Choice, People for the American Way, the Southern Poverty Law Center and 350.org, many of which have received Soros money……………..

Head of the Syrian Arab Republic delegation to the Astana meeting Bashar al-Jaafari said on Monday that the meeting aims at fixing the cessation of hostilities except for the areas where terrorist organizations are active.

In a statement at the opening of Astana meeting on Monday, Al-Jaafari asserted that herds of Takfiri terrorists were gathered, trained, financed, armed, and brought across the borders with the neighboring countries.

“Astana hosting the intra-Syrian meeting represents the mediation policy and the openness of Kazakhstan, and is the fruit of the joint efforts exerted by several parties, particularly the Russia and Iran, with the aim of fixing the decision of cessation of hostilities all over Syria except for the areas where terrorist organizations such as ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra and others which rejected to join the agreement are active,” he said.

“Syria which we love is the homeland of diversity in all its forms, a homeland where the Syrians believe in the basis and principles of their independent democratic secular state based upon political pluralism, the rule of law, independence of the judiciary system, equality among citizens in rights and duties, guaranteeing cultural and social variety among all spectrum of the Syrian people, as well as maintaining the continuation of the work of the state institutions,” he said.

Al-Jaafari pointed out that: “al-Nusra is using water as a military tool, and since it is identified by the UN as a terror organization, al-Nusra cannot be defended, and the military operation against the terrorists depriving the people of Damascus from drinking water cannot be considered a breach of negotiations”…………………

L’offensive de Daech contre Deir Ezzor: un plan des États-Unis

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

This gallery contains 2 photos.

Les attaques consécutives de Deach contre Deir ez-Zor depuis la libération d’Alep s’expliquent par un changement de tactique et de stratégie du groupe terroriste et de ses alliés.

La province de Deir ez-Zor se trouve dans la prolongation de deux grandes provinces irakiennes que sont Al-Anbar et Ninive. C’est une province qui abrite les champs et les installations pétrogaziers syriens tout comme les silos de céréales et de blé.

Le nouveau round des attaques de Daech a débuté il y a deux semaines suivant un plan préétabli et dans le strict objectif de s’emparer de la ville et au-delà de la totalité de la province.

Daech a tenté d’abord de couper les liens entre l’aéroport militaire de Deir ez-Zor et la ville elle-même.

Le plan prémédité que Daech poursuit se résume en quelques mots : les terroristes veulent pousser les forces syriennes à « évacuer » l’est de la Syrie, ce qui leur permettrait de s’en emparer.

Une fois Daech bien installé, les États-Unis enverraient leur contingent « kurde », à savoir les « Forces démocratiques syriennes » à reprendre Deir ez-Zor.

D’ailleurs cette même tactique a été appliquée avec succès à Hassaka, reprise totalement par les Kurdes. Les Forces démocratiques suivent aussi le même plan à Hassaka et c’est sous couvert de « libérer Raqqa » qu’ils cherchent à annexer cette ville à leur « futur État ».

La récente offensive de Daech contre Deir ez-Zor a une nouvelle fois prouvé le rôle et l’implication des Américains dans la crise syrienne, une crise où ils suivent pas à pas des objectifs fixés depuis longtemps. Même les médias outre-Atlantique n’ont pas honte de le dire : sans l’aide des États-Unis, Daech n’aurait jamais pu lancer son offensive contre Deir ez-Zor. En effet dans cette province, les combats se déroulent directement entre les forces syriennes et les forces US par Daech interposé…………..

In a press conference at the National Museum in Damascus, al-Ahmad said “what happened last Friday is obviously a Zionist demand and a Zionist attempt supported by the West and the petroleum sheikhdoms to destroy our identity, heritage and civilization.”

He added that the monuments in Palmyra do not belong to Syria alone, but they belong to the whole world, “and here comes the role of the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards this horrible brutality unprecedented in history,” calling on the international community to support Syria in its battle for defending Palmyra against those who want to destroy its ruins and civilization………………….

L’accord tripartite conclu entre la Russie, l’Iran et la Turquie ayant abouti au plan de cessation des hostilités garanti par la Russie et la Turquie, entré en vigueur le 29 décembre 2016 à minuit, adopté à l’unanimité par le Conseil de sécurité sous la résolution 2336 du 31 décembre, n’a pas empêché l’escalade des attaques terroristes sur l’ensemble du territoire syrien. Comme si chacun des pays souteneur de la guerre « sur » la Syrie, par le biais du terrorisme international, tenait à rappeler qu’il réclamait sa place à la table des négociations et, surtout, sa part du butin avant la prochaine réunion à Astana fixée au 23 janvier.

Certes, les Nations Unies ont fini par parler de « crime de guerre » commis par on-ne-sait-qui comme l’a prétendu M. Jan Egeland, chef du groupe de travail de l’ONU sur l’aide humanitaire en Syrie, devant plus de 5,5 millions d’âmes privées d’eau à Damas, 6 millions disent certains, du fait de l’afflux des déplacés vers la capitale, plus sûre.

Bientôt six ans de destructions, de malheurs, de froid, d’obscurité, de déchirures, de sanctions, dans pratiquement toutes les régions du pays et on-ne-sait-qui commet des crimes de guerre, malgré les preuves qui s’accumulent. En revanche, nul besoin de preuves pour accuser le gouvernement syrien, quand ce n’est pas la Russie, le Hezbollah, l’Iran ou l’Armée syrienne qui tue les siens?

Une armée syrienne que l’administration US sortante s’est empressée de classer, ce 12 janvier, sur la liste noire de l’OFAC [Office of Foreign Assets Control] pour utilisation d’armes chimiques, toujours sans preuves, sinon le monde entier le saurait, avec des sanctions ministérielles à la pelle portant sur 18 officiers supérieurs, dont le Colonel Souheil Hassan al-Hassan [1], héros national surnommé le « Tigre » par le peuple syrien, et les agences des Forces de l’air, des Forces de défense aérienne, de l’Armée syrienne, des Forces navales et de la Garde républicaine!

But recently, in the past few years and especially during Obama’s second stint, the number of such unfriendly actions directed at our diplomats have grown,” Lavrov said at a press conference wrapping up last year.

“The war may be stopped, and the rights of Christians, Muslims and other people who have lived all their life in Syria, in other regional countries, may be ensured first of all through the use of force, because it is necessary to beat terrorism ruthlessly and beat it completely,” Lavrov told reporters. ~ “That is what we are doing, helping the Syrian army and the militia, who jointly with the Syrian army are involved in the fight against terrorism.” ~ He pointed out that the US wanted to use Daesh and al-Nusra Front terrorist organization to topple Syria’s President Assad.

The seemingly endless war in Syria has claimed hundreds and thousands of lives and left millions injured. There are many Syrian Army soldiers among the casualties. For severely wounded servicemen, life changed forever after sacrificing both limbs and health in battle. Now they must return to civilian life, try to fit in, find a job and provide for their families.

RT Doc meets former servicemen determined not to allow their injuries hold them back in life. Taxi driver Somar Fauzi Al Amuri lost an arm and leg in an explosion. Even so, he sat behind the wheel as soon as he was discharged from hospital. Despite being unable to walk, shop keeper Maisam Majed Al Jerdi runs his own business. The city is far from being a disabled friendly place.

Instead of raging against their fate, because so many fellow soldiers died in battle, they think of themselves as the fortunate few. Survivors support each other and try hard to stay positive about the future. They say their bodies may be damaged but their spirit remains strong. Despite all odds, they soldier on, determined to live life to the full.

The Saudi-led Islamic military alliance is ostensibly interested in joining the United States and its allies in their efforts to tackle Daesh in Iraq and Syria, but political analyst Alexander Sotnichenko suggested that Riyadh and other members of its counterterrorism coalition pursue a different agenda.

“It is in the interest of the United States and its allies to draw foreign forces to divide Syria in the first place.

The fact that members of the Islamic coalition have become increasingly active could indicate that they want to make it in time for Syria’s partition,” he told Vzglyad.

The political analyst said that Syria’s future could be in trouble if Baghdad pushes Daesh out of Iraq earlier than Damascus tackles the terrorist group on its territory.

“In this case the coalition forces assisted by the United States and the Gulf states could cross Iraq’s border with Syria and advance further west.

As a result they will end up taking control over a large part of Syria, which they will refuse to transfer to the Syrian government,” he said…………….

Israeli missiles have bombed the Mezzeh military airport west of Damascus, and the Syrian Army has accused Israel of supporting terrorism, according to SANA, a Syrian state news agency. ~ According to the report, Israeli missiles caused a large fire. So far no one has been reported dead or injured. ~ Several videos uploaded to twitter show a massive raging fire and what sounds like gunfire. The attack happened less than five miles away from Syrian President Bashar Assad’s palace. ~ The Syrian Army has reported that the attack took place from northern Israel firing several missiles from Lake Tiberias according to RT. ~ The Syrian Arab Army has also promised there will be retaliation for the acts of aggression and said that there will be repercussions for Israel for the “flagrant attack” on the military base, state TV reported, citing a Syrian army command spokesman. It also linked the alleged strike to Israel’s “support of terrorist groups”. ~ Tensions have been building up between Syria and Israel the last couple months. ~ This is the second time in two months that Israel has attacked Syria. On Dec. 7, SANA reported that “several surface-to-surface missiles” were launched by the Israeli Defense Forces from Golan Heights. ~ “At 3 a.m., the Israeli enemy fired several surface-to-surface missiles from inside occupied territory”, SANA. ~ Israel, through it lobbyist and other influence, runs American foreign policy. It’s more likely to be The Mossad calling the shots. They don’t need to worry about Trump, though. Throughout his campaign, just like all those before him, he had to kiss Israel’s ace.
