Syrien

[Schneemann]

...jedenfalls reagiert die Regierung in Damaskus nach meinem Geschmack genauso unverhältnismäßig wie die Israelis...

Der Vgl. hinkt nicht nur alleine deswegen, weil die Syrer auf ihr eigenes Volk schießen (nebenbei: tun sie dies nur "alleine"? Nicht ganz. Ich denke da z. B. auch an eingesickerte sunnitische Kämpfer/Islamisten aus Pakistan auf der einen und Hisbollah-Leute/Iraner auf der anderen Seite), sondern auch, weil die Ursachen und - vor allem - die Intensität [eine] völlig andere ist/sind. So starben alleine in den letzten 24 Stunden 150 Menschen in Syrien (mindestens), bzw. es starben rund 25.000 in den letzten 18 Monaten.

Syria shelling further undermines Eid al-Adha 'truce'

The Syrian army has heavily shelled several areas of the country, say activists, despite a ceasefire marking the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. Shelling and shooting were reported in the capital, Damascus, in the eastern city of Deir Ezzor and in rebel-held areas of northern Aleppo province. The UN-brokered ceasefire came into force on Friday but was soon shattered by fighting and car bomb in Damascus. Nearly 150 people died on the first day of the truce, activists say. [...]

'Failure for Brahimi'

The four-day ceasefire had been negotiated by UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who hoped it would lay the groundwork for a full peace process. But both rebels and the army said they would observe the truce only if the other side held their fire. A commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) in Aleppo, which holds parts of the city, said the truce was a failure for Mr Brahimi, and had been "dead before it started".
