알카에다가 물을 끊으니 다마스커스의 5백만 시민이 목이탄다 - 서방언론은 보도않네
January 02, 2017 Al-Qaeda Cut Leaves 5 Million Thirsty In Damascus - Western Media Unconcerned시리아에서 인도주의 참사가 벌어지는데, 서방 언론은 보도를 하지 않는다. 12월22일에 알카에다에 연계된 탁피리 테러조직이 와디 바라다 계곡을 점령해서는 시리아 수도 다마스커스로 가는 용수공급을 끊었다. 이로 인해서 도시와 5백만명 시민은 시리아 정부가 주는 긴급 물공급으로 연명하고 있다. 그들은 겨우 마실물만 주어질뿐 - 씻지를 못하고 샤워나 물로 생산하는 일은 전혀하질 못한다. There is a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Syria and the "western" media ignore it. On December 22 al-Qaeda aligned Takfiris in the Wadi Barada valley shut down the main water supply for the Syrian capital Damascus. Since then the city and some 5-6 million living in and around it have to survive on emergency water distributions by the Syrian government. That is barely enough for people to drink - no washing, no showers and no water dependent production is possible. 이런 폐쇄 행위는 정부가 점령한 모든지역에서 용수를 끊는 무서운 전략의 일환이다. 이틀전에 이시스 테러조직은 유프라테스 강으로부터 알레포로 들어가는 물을 끊었다. 또 다마스커스로 들어가는 고압송전선도 파괴당했고 수리팀은 지역에 들어가는게 차단되었다. 또 다마스커스 일부지역에 천연가스 공급도 역시 끊겼다. 이런 뻘짓은 하가나의 시오니즘 테러주의자들이 1947년과 48년에 저지른 짓과 유사한 피를 말리는 전술과 같다. 당시에 시오니스트들은 팔레스틴 하이파 지역의 물의 원천공급지에 독을 풀었고, 석유 파이프를 날려버렸던 것이다. 와디 바라다 지역은 다마스커스의 서쪽 10마일 떨어진 강계곡인데, 레바논과 시리아 사이의 산악지역이다. 이곳은 2012년부터 지역 테러조직이 점령하고 있는데, 시리아 정부군과 헤즈볼라 동맹군이 에워싸고 있다. This shut down is part of a wider, seemingly coordinated strategy to deprive all government held areas of utility supplies. Two days ago the Islamic State shut down a major water intake for Aleppo from the Euphrates. High voltage electricity masts on lines feeding Damascus have been destroyed and repair teams, unlike before, denied access. Gas supplies to parts of Damascus are also cut. A similar tactic was used by the Zionist terrorists of the Haganah who in 1947/48 poisoned and blew up the water mains and oil pipelines to Palestinian Haifa. Wadi Barada is a river valley some 10 miles west of Damascus at the mountain range between Lebanon and Syria. It has been in the hands of local insurgents since 2012. The area was since loosely surrounded by Syrian government forces and their allies from Hizbullah. Two springs in the area provide the water for Damascus which is treated locally and then pumped through pipelines into the city's distribution network. Since the early 1990s there is a low level conflict over the water diversion of the Barada river valley to the ever growing Damascus. The drought over the last years has intensified the problems. Local agriculture of the water rich valley had to cut back for lack of water as this was pumped into the city. But many families from the valley moved themselves into the city or have relatives living there. The local rebels had kept the water running for the city. Al-Qaeda aligned groups have been in the area for some time. A propaganda video distributed by them and taken in the area showed (pic) the choreographed mass execution of Syrian government soldiers. After the eastern part of the city of Aleppo was liberated by Syrian government forces, the local rebels and inhabitants in the Barada river valley were willing to reconcile with the Syrian government. But the al-Qaeda Takfiris disagreed and took over. The area is since under full al-Qaeda control and thereby outside of the recent ceasefire agreement. On December 22 the water supply to Damascus was suddenly contaminated with diesel fuel and no longer consumable. A day later Syrian government forces started an operation to regain the area and to reconstitute the water supplies. Photos and a video on social media (since inaccessible but I saw them when they appeared) showed the water treatment facility rigged with explosives. on Dec 27th the facility was blown up and partly destroyed. Suddenly new organized "civil" media operations of, allegedly, locals in the area spread misinformation to "western" media. "There are 100,000 civilians under siege in Wadi Barada!" In reality the whole area once had, according to the last peacetime census, some 20,000 inhabitants. The White Helmets propaganda organization now also claims to be in the area. "The government had bombed the water treatment facility," the propaganda groups claimed. That is a. not plausible and b. inconsistent with the pictures of the destroyed facility. These show a collapse of the main support booms of the roof but no shrapnel impact at all. A bomb breaking through the roof and exploding would surely have left pocket marks all over the place. The damage, in my judgement, occurred from well designed, controlled explosions inside the facility. Some insurgents posted pictures of themselves proudly standing within the destroyed facility and making victory signs. There is more such cheer-leading by insurgents on social media. Why when they claim that the government bombed the place? On December 29 the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs issued an alarm about the water crisis: The United Nations is alarmed that four million inhabitants in Damascus and surrounding areas have been cut off from the main water supply since 22 December. Two primary sources of drinking water- Wadi Barada and Ain-el-Fijah-which provide clean and safe water for 70 percent of the population in and around Damascus are not functioning, due to deliberate targeting resulting in the damaged infrastructure. One of the two springs, Al-Feejeh, has now been retaken by the Syrian army. 1,300 civilians from Ain AlFeejeh, the nearby town with the treatment facility, have fled to the government held areas and were taken in by the Syrian Red Cross. The other spring and the treatment facility are still in Takfiri hands. The government has said that it will need some ten days to repair the system after the Syrian army has gained control of the facilities. That will still take some time. Western media have hardly taken notice of the water crisis in Damascus and their coverage seems to actively avoid it. A search for Barada on the Washington Post website brings up one original piece from December 30 about the freshly negotiated ceasefire. The 6th paragraph says: Airstrikes pounded opposition-held villages and towns in the strategically-important Barada Valley outside Damascus, activists said, prompting rebels to threaten to withdraw their compliance with a nationwide truce brokered by Russia and Turkey last week. Then follow 16 paragraphs on other issues. only at the very end of the piece comes this (mis-)information: The Barada Valley is the primary source of water for the capital and its surrounding region. The government assault has coincided with a severe water shortage in Damascus since Dec. 22. Images from the valley’s Media Center indicate its Ain al-Fijeh spring and water processing facility have been destroyed in airstrikes. The government says rebels spoiled the water source with diesel fuel, forcing it to cut supplies to the capital. On December 29 a piece by main WaPo anti-Syria propagandist Liz Sly did not mention the water crisis or the Barada valley at all. The New York Times links a Reuters pieces about the UN alarm about the water crisis. But I find nothing in its own reporting that even mentions the water crisis. one piece on December 31 refers shortly to attacks on Wadi Baradi by government forces at its very end. A Guardian search for Barada only comes up with a piece from today mixed from agency reports. The headlines say "Hundreds of Syrians flee as Assad's forces bomb Barada valley rebels". The piece itself says that they flee to the government side. In it the Syrian Observatory (MI-6) operation in Britain confirms that al-Qaeda rules the area which "Civil society organisations on the ground" deny. only the very last of the 12 paragraph piece mentions the capital: The Barada valley is the primary source of water for the capital and its surrounding region. The government assault has coincided with a severe water shortage in Damascus since 22 December. The government says rebels spoiled the water source with diesel fuel, forcing it to cut supplies to the capital. Surely a few people "fleeing" (to the government side) "as Assad's forces bombs" are way more important than 5 million people in Damascus without access to water. That the treatment facility is destroyed seems also unimportant. All the above papers have been extremely concerned about every scratch to any propaganda pimp who had claimed to be in then rebel held east-Aleppo. They now show no concern at all for 5 million Syrians in Damascus who have been without water for 10 days and will likely be so for the rest of the month.

But western media has been unconcerned about so many things, it seems odd to point out this transgression. If their owners don't care, the media types don't care. Then again, without this blog ... would anybody know enough to care? That is why B is critical (as in important) to the world. Posted by: rg the lg | Jan 2, 2017 3:37:00 PM | 1
