Syria: 17 killed in attempt to arrest ex-Assad officer • FRANCE 24 English

[@willbaren]

I listened to this twice and could find no information on 17 killed associated with arresting a former Assad officer

[@edrismubirucrystalprintltd8179]

These western countries, Iran, Russia USA they are accuratting propagandas they don't what peace in Syria. Please please please Syrian people be united Allah is with you.

[@linanicolia1363]

Click bait ?

[@RAAVENNNN]

Westoids are smilar to Iran, Iran wants to swallow Syria, westoids wants to destroy Syria, They just want to split it into 10 part so they can control them easily. They don't care about informing people via these fake news channels, they want to spread their agenda.

Listening to him is irritating

[@freedombro]

Yeah I can't watch

[@linanicolia1363]

Stressful. The words do not come out well and the hesitation is a problem. The accent is also rough. I thought this person was French, but he is not. He is Lebanese I expect.

He should have a law degree. Maybe he does, as well.

Therefore it's been confirmed that the news of burnt Christmas tree in Syria is an old video.

[@vincesiy1403]

It is funny how just when the speaker Sami Nader was just about to talk about other world power's interest in Syria like the U.S and Israel that the host cut him off and diverted the topic lol. Sami Nader is correct that the U.S and Israel does want a partitioned Syria wherein kurds backed by U.S will be autonomous while regions and minorities backed by Israel will also be autonomous. Basically world powers (U.S, Europe, Israel,Turkey, Iran etc.) wants another Sudan and Libya to serve their interest.

[@harryseldom6472]

except the problems in Sudan and Lybia are created by ruSSia and iran...Syria was never a real country anyway, it's time to let the people of Syria to decide what they want and need...

[@robbrown4621]

That would be great if that can be created. The Kurds always deserved to have their own country. They were screwed over by the British after WW1.

[@lambertlum1087]

Because rumor mongering is not news. News is about reporting the facts. You can't just assume the US is some shadow hand tinkering in Syrian politics. It's too easy to let one's imagination devolve to conspiracy theories. You either have facts or you don't.

[@obsidianjane4413]

None of the separate ethnic regions within Syria's borders are large enough to be viable nations, but none of the regional powers (which is not the US or Europe) have any interest in redrawing the maps of the ME along practical lines. Its a non-starter well before you get to DC or Brussels.

[@robbrown4621]

@@obsidianjane4413 I understand but I still support the Kurds and they do have a large area of northern Iraq that could also be within a Kurdish nation. And with the oil reserves there, the Kurds would have more power and wealth than a number of other countries in the area, including Jordan, for example. The area of the country would also be larger than a number of much smaller Arab countries that already exist. But I understand what you mean when you call it a non-starter in DC and Brussels. Even so, I would love to see the Kurds have their own homeland.

[@juanmiguelreyesguerr]

The new Israeli administration of Syria wants to poke religious differences and live in permanent sectarian conflict to distract from the fact that Syria is now ruled by Israel.

You mean ISIS JIHADISTS who are anti Christian?.

[@annehersey9895]

I think a Federal set-up is the only type of government that will work in Syria and also Iraq! When you have such diverse groups that live in the same areas, then a Federal set-up is about all that can be done short of breaking 1 country into 3 small states.

[@TheSouth-j7f]

I wish Syria all the best but this isn't a good sign. I remember the violence in former Yugoslavia started after 12 Croatian policemen were murdered by the Serbs in May 1991, things just got a lot worse a few months later.

Maintaing rule of law is the prime responsibility of new govt. Any faction or group that was involved in crime or creating any chaos in the current scenerio will be accountable. Citizen are requested to support and provide information about criminals and keep on eye happenings around you. A nation with unity can build its land and restore its national worth.

[@laifone21]

Countries should get behind the people of Syria and support their aspirations to become a stable and propsperous nation. Those in the way should get the hell out and focus on sorting out their own chaotic and messy domestic affairs.

No mention of the arrested Ex-Assad officer. As regards Mr. Nader, he utters so many false notes before speaking... it's excrutiating to listen to!!! 😝

[@charleswhalen7332]

What is Lebanese Druze warlord Walid Jumblatt doing in that meeting of Syria's factional leaders?

[@linanicolia1363]

His political science background is the reason why they are giving him the "podium". He knows what is going on.

[@charleswhalen7332]

Thanks for the response. Interesting. I'm American, live in the US. I remember seeing Walid Jumblatt on the world news evening broadcasts (here in the US, ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, whom I watched most every night for 30 years, til his death, who had lived in Lebanon and was married to a Lebanese woman) regularly back in the mid-to-late 1970s throughout the 1980s, as a very prominent figure and leader/warlord during the long Lebanese Civil War. Coincidentally, I just watched a short bio of Walid Jumblatt that popped up on my KZbin feed a few days ago, in which I learned that he had been living and was based in Syria for some of that time during the Lebanese Civil War, when he was fighting and trying to oust the Gemayel regime in Lebanon. (I have only followed events in the Levant rather loosely over the last 50 years and don't have any real deep knowledge of it.) Outside of Lebanon, I gather that some of the areas where the Druze live are in far northern Israel, in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, and in southwestern Syria. I see how over the last couple weeks the IDF has moved into what had for the last 50 years, up until 2 weeks ago, been the UN Peacekeeping-monitored DMZ buffer zone thin strip of the eastern Golan Heights, where the IDF is now destroying roads and forcibly displacing the predominantly Druze population out of their homes there, in the villages of Al Qunaitra, Al Qahtaniah, El hmidaiah, Ufaniya, Jubata Al Khashab, Turnejeh, Beerajam, Bariqa, Al Asbah, and Al Rafeed. I'm kind of surprised that the IDF is doing this and brutalizing the local Druze population there in this way, as I gather that Israel has a generally fairly good relationship with the Druze within its own borders, in far northern Israel, who even proudly serve in the IDF and a very loyal citizens of Israel, despite not being Jewish. Again not being very knowledgeable of Levant and broader Middle Eastern politics and history myself, I'm speculating is that the Druze community in southwestern Syria maybe doesn't have any really strong, prominent leaders of the stature of Walid Jumblatt, and so even though he is Lebanese, nevertheless having spent many years based in Syria fighting Lebanon's Civil War, my guess is that he is there representing the Syrian Druze community and their interests in that meeting headed by the HTS leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, with Syria's factional leaders, as Syria is being carved up by Turkey (in pursuit of its expansionist "Greater Turkey"/Ottoman Empire territorial ambitions), Israel (in pursuit of its expansionist "Greater Israel" ambitions), and the Kurds (in pursuit of their independent Kurdish state/homeland ambitions), and now increasingly descending into factional fighting between the Alawites (supported, incited and fomented by Iran) in the northwest and all the Sunni Arab jihadist (or supposedly, claimed 'former' jihadist) groups, e.g. HTS, etc., the SNA in the north/northwest (backed by Turkey), and the Kurdish SDF in the northeast (backed by the Americans, but I doubt much longer, after Trump takes office on January 20th). So with Walid Jumblatt's long 50-year history of being a shrewd, savvy partisan operator and leader (and survivor!) of many such sectarian struggles in the Levant, my guess is that he is there involved in the negotiations jockeying to try to protect the interests of the Syrian Druze, who at the moment are getting completely screwed, brutalized, and displaced by the IDF in the southwest. That's my very amateur (mostly uninformed) armchair speculative analysis, anyway.

The Islamic world, especially Turks and Arabs, have the Kurds to thank that there even are Muslim states outside of Arabia, thanks to the Kurds and Saladin. Let them have as big a state as they can handle, as everyone who lives under Kurdish jurisdiction definitely prefers that to living under the domination of the Ayatollahs, Turks, or various Arab factions.
