“Yesterday Al Jazeera interviewed Jabhat al Nusrah Al Qaeda terrorists in Aleppo Syria asking them who they are!!!! The commander responded: “we’re bunch of oppressed people who the world has condemned , and they come here to Syria from around the world for Jihad!!!! He claimed :”we don’t have links to any internal or external forces in Syria and we fight for the establishment of an Islamic state based on Sharia.
Our lives are being made hell by the armed groups. We are all wearing coats in the house. We are freezing in the winter. There is no fuel. There is no gaz, the price of any material doubled, because of the sanctions on Syria..Is this your Sharia?
Yet, every western government is pretending to be speaking for the Syrian people. In fact, they are completely ignoring what the Syrian people want. The Syrian people want peace, security and return to normal life. The Syrian people have had enough with the unscrupulous world powers playing with the plight of the Syrian people and causing us more suffering while they reside in palaces and hotels, travel with bodyguards and worry about feeling too full at the dinner tables. They don’t worry about the millions of the Syrian people who are shivering in their beds either out of fear, cold or hunger. We tell them, please stop meddling in our affairs under the pretext of helping the Syrian people….
Yesterday In the cold streets of Damascus, in snow weather. I stopped on two checkpoints for the Syrian army, there was a soldier, or more, they are men, real men, great Syrian men standing in this tough weather, with tender smile on the face and very tiring eyes, just to protect us, to protect Syria from destruction, from those who came to Syria in the name of sharia or jihad, one of them asked me : are you going to work? I answered: yes, he smiled and asked me not to be late because the snow will be thicker, I couldn’t help myself from crying, he is caring about me than himself, he wants me to comeback safe to my home, but he will stand there all day and night, just for us to be safe, God bless the Syrian soldiers protecting the people against terrorism.
