Assad Approves New Chemical Attack on Jobar at Meeting With Top Security Officials, IRG: Report

By Walid al-Ghanim

08-04-2014: The Assad regime is reportedly planning another chemical weapons attack on the East Ghouta region of Damascus province in the near future, specifically on Jobar, according to a report from a credible regime insider who leaked information on the planned attack to the FSA. 

The regime insider reported that during a meeting held on Friday April 4th with senior regime security officials and senior officers from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which now controls the regime’s military strategy, Bashar al Assad discussed how best to halt the advance of the FSA in the East Ghouta area.

According to information supplied to the FSA by the regime insider, the decision to launch another chemical weapons attack on Jobar, considered the first line of contact with the regime-controlled areas of Damascus, was taken with the help of Iranian military experts in the use of chemical weapons, who are working closely with the Assad regime.

The FSA official told Saudi newspaper Okaz that the Iranian officials had proposed that Assad use Iranian-manufactured chemical weapons to avoid any problems caused by the UN’s insistence on closing down a number of the regime’s own CW manufacturing facilities.

The regime insider reportedly explained that the high-level security meeting took place after the regime became aware of an opposition plan to launch an attack on Damascus on Sunday April 6th; this apparently followed the discovery by regime forces of reports of a number of subterranean tunnels under Damascus used by resistance forces to access various areas cut off by the ongoing crippling regime siege.

The regime has continued its regular use of poison gas against various locations in East Ghouta since its major chemical weapons attack on the region in August 2013 in which over 1,700 civilians many of them women and children, were killed.

Statement regarding the recent challenges faced by Turkish PM Erdogan, firm supporter of the Syrian Revolution

Radio Free Syria stands by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, especially given the suspicious, desertion of him by foreign 'allies' & 'friends', just as his government suddenly seems to be coming into something of a crisis, given the latest corruption scandal. Just as this has started to brew, said 'allies' and friends have suddenly begun to abandon his government at a time when true friends would surely show solidarity. Especially given the fact that Erdogan's government is not only democratic, but popular and progressive.

It seems abundantly clear that such desertion is a punishment for Erdogan's refusal to moderate his stance on Assad and his genocide within Syria (it must be remembered that Erdogan's government has been with the Syrian revolution from the start, providing assistance to refugees, as well as condemning Assad's brutality, as well as allowing foreign fighters to cross into Syria).

Radio Free Syria urges Erdogan to get his millions of supporters onto the streets, as we fear that the Turkish government may find a Tamarod-style uprising unleashed upon them, brought on by foreign agitators (e.g. the US and allies) as a punishment for not moderating their stance.

Although this may seem conspiratorial to some, what happened to Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi, DIRECTLY after he announced his full support for the Syrian revolution, must be remembered. He was vilified as friends with "hardline Islamists" and deposed, by a movement (the Tamarod movement, which is coincidentally pro-Assad) led by those connected to the military and the US, as well as members of the former regime (clearly concerned that they would lose their billions in military aid if they facilitated the removal of Israel's closest protector and friend (and therefore one of the US' closest friends), Assad (who guarantees their border security and illegal hold over the Golan, which his father sold to them), while hypocritically posturing as an avowed anti-Zionist).

We therefore urge all to stay vigilant, especially Erdogan and his government, who we have full confidence in, especially given his friendship towards the Syrian people.

The Shaam News Network (S.N.N), Radio Free Syria and other organisations and individuals are set to issue a joint press release to international media and humanitarian organisations calling for the immediate lifting of the siege on Moadamiyet al Sham and the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to the town.
Please join us and include your name and/or the name of your organisation/group as a co-signatory. People are dying.

There is no time to waste.

For Immediate Release: September 28, 2013

Assad Regime Starving City’s Children To Death Daily

The humanitarian crisis of the century is emerging across Syria, particularly in the city of Moadamiyet al Sham where civilians, including children, are being to death as part of a conscious regime policy, dying on a daily basis.
On a daily basis, activists and citizen journalists are publishing videos and pictures of children starving to death in the city of Moadamiyet al Sham as the world endlessly debates the merits of removing chemical weapons from the Assad regime. As media organizations dedicated to revealing the truth about the Syrian revolution as well as giving a voice to the people living in Syria, we are collectively launching an awareness and action campaign to combat the horrific and deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the city.

For over 300 days now, the city’s residents have had no electricity because regime forces disconnected it as collective punishment for peaceful protests. For over 270 days for the same reason, residents have had no running water in their homes and no food or medicine has entered the city due to the ongoing siege by Assad’s forces. Furthermore, the Assad regime has systematically bombarded the city on a daily basis with warplanes, heavy artillery, tanks, rockets, mortar shells and chemical weapons, escalating the crisis to a situation of unimaginable horror.

Our organizations have created this alliance to provide credible information on the number of children and other residents of Moadamiyet al Shaam who have starved to death as well as to demand that the international community take action to break this inhuman siege before yet another entire city is wiped out by the Assad regime. Please await another press statement in the upcoming days detailing the documented cases of starvation, as well as providing action items to address the crisis. It is true that media organizations typically play the role of disseminating information rather than providing humanitarian relief, but we are convinced that this is the duty of every member of the human race regardless of religion, race, gender or ethnicity.
