Syria carries out another massacre: at least 86 people executed including over 20 women and 20 child - Polidicks

[url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18348201[/url] [quote=BBC News][B]At least 86 people, including many women and children, have been killed by Syrian pro-government forces in Hama province, opposition activists say.[/B] More than 20 children and 20 women were reportedly among those who died in the villages of Qubair and Maarzaf, in what the activists called a "massacre". Syrian State TV said troops found some bodies after attacking "terrorists". Neither account could be confirmed, but it comes less than two weeks after 108 people were killed in Houla. Witnesses blamed pro-government militiamen, while the government of President Bashar al-Assad accused "armed groups" seeking to trigger foreign military intervention. [B]'Terrorist stronghold'[/B] On Wednesday evening, activist groups reported that Qubair and Maarzaf, about 20km (12 miles) north-west of the city of Hama, had come under heavy bombardment from security forces backed by tanks. But they said much of the killing in Qubair was done by accompanying groups of pro-government militiamen known as "shabiha", who had come from nearby pro-government villages. The activists said they shot at close range and stabbed many people, including women and children under the age of two, and that some of the bodies were later burnt in houses which were set on fire. Others were taken away by the shabiha, they added. "They executed [nearly] every person in the village. Very few numbers could flee. They majority were slaughtered with knives and in a horrible and ugly way," one activist in Hama told the BBC's World Tonight. "[They] are failing to save the lives of the wounded because they are very poor people - usually they are Bedouin who... have no kind of healthcare," he added. "The small number of villagers who fled were the only people remaining who could tell the world about this horrible massacre." The Local Co-ordination Committees, an activist network, said 78 people had died in Qubair, including 35 members of one family. Musab al-Hamadi, another activist in Hama, told the BBC that "the regime is playing its last card" by attacking the villages. Later on Wednesday, Syrian state TV quoted an official source as saying that security forces, responding to appeals from citizens, had launched an attack on an "armed terrorist stronghold" in Qubair. The security forces came across the bodies of two women and a number of children, bound hand and foot, in the village, who the coroner said had been killed at 10:00, when the "armed terrorist groups" were still in the village, the official added. The LCC said the Qubair killings had brought the total number of people killed nationwide by security forces on Wednesday to 140. [B]Annan appeal[/B] The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says there has been no independent confirmation of these latest reports and no video has surfaced on the internet to back them up. But the news of the Houla massacre emerged in a similar way and the details given by activists were later confirmed by UN ceasefire observers on the ground, our correspondent adds. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights called on monitors to go immediately. "They should not wait to tomorrow to investigate this new massacre," it said in a statement. "They should not give the excuse that their mission is only to observe the ceasefire, because many massacres have been committed during their presence in Syria." The 297 unarmed military observers are in Syria to verify the implementation of the peace plan negotiated by the UN and Arab League envoy, Kofi Annan, including a ceasefire that supposedly came into force in mid-April. On Thursday, Mr Annan will urge the UN Security Council to create a new contact group to help end the violence, diplomats say. It will include permanent members of the council, and key regional powers. The BBC's Nada Tawfik at UN headquarters in New York says Mr Annan hopes involving countries like Iran and Turkey will speed up efforts to start a political transition in Syria that have stalled under his plan. But the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has already said it is unthinkable to involve in the process a country like Iran, which - she said - was state managing the Syrian government's assault on its own people. And speaking at a meeting of the "Friends of Syria" countries in Istanbul on Wednesday, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague Iran's involvement would make any contact group "unworkable".[/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4gDst_3bq4[/media]

Can we hire the dumbshits who made the Kony video to make a video about Syria so all the dumb people care for at least a couple days?

I predict Russia's response will be something akin to this [url]http://youtu.be/S0-gZygKv6c?t=25s[/url]

assad would [I]never[/I]

*Sigh*, by the time something gets done about this, there will be no-one left to kill in Syria.

The sooner the Annan plan is declared dead the better, nothing has happened for months now because countries (including the West) have been able to just tell Syria to 'stick to the Annan plan!' and pretend that that's action

[QUOTE=EpicWolf;36227442]Spread a rumor of oil in Syria and US will be up in there. Seems to be working for the Kony case.[/QUOTE] Yes, the US is only in it for the oil. Let us all take a moment to remember the many lives lost, when the imperialistic Yankees invaded Canada.

This comes like one day after China and Russia publicily announced their total support of the Syrian government. Sorry Syria but looks like you guys are on your own for this one.

ban ki moon is the worst person to be in charge of the UN

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;36227643]You know, I tried bringing up the last massacre in a History class of mine before my school let out, BIG surprise (not really) when no one cared. People seem to care more about Xfactor and celebrities doing stupid shit than innocent people dying. (Because that's apparently boring to them)[/QUOTE] That's how apathetic our country has gotten towards everything. Our culture is ruined, we have no sympathy, and all we give a shit about is fucks with way to much money that they didn't earn or ridiculous TV shows. It's just gotten sad. I almost understand now why so many people in the Middle East want to stop the spread of our culture.

isnt it interesting how civilian deaths in syria are news and not the civilian deaths in afganistan by nato unless its the taliban killing ppl gotta hate all those biased new organizations

[QUOTE=C47;36230046]isnt it interesting how civilian deaths in syria are news and not the civilian deaths in afganistan by nato[/QUOTE] Don't remember the last time civilians were killed by NATO in Afghanistan as of late. I guess it's not as common as you'd like to think.

This is seriously starting to look like a genocide, bosnian style. Except the only reason is to terrorize the populace into total submission. When you have army-like groups entering villages and [I]slaughtering absolutely everyone for no goddamn reason at all[/I] I'd say it's a form of extreme control. I know that usually it needs to be about a specific race or something but they are killing everyone, I can't even imagine how fucked up these "elite" groups are.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;36230171][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_civilian_casualties_in_the_War_in_Afghanistan_(2012)[/url] barely anyone has died this year[/QUOTE] And at that, they were all reported by big name news reporters, and considering this dude's idea is that "no one covers it because west is biased", that pretty much ruins his argument.

This is pathetic... it makes me wish that we just stump on in there and eliminate these terrorist military group.

[QUOTE=C47;36230046]isnt it interesting how civilian deaths in syria are news and not the civilian deaths in afganistan by nato unless its the taliban killing ppl gotta hate all those biased new organizations[/QUOTE]1: NATO is not deliberately slaughtering Afghans. Staggering, gross incompetence and apathy to civilian fatalities one could accuse NATO of, but not active, homicidal maliciousness. 2: Deaths in Afghanistan [I]are[/I] covered. Christ, did you even [I]look[/I] at the citations the wikipedia article section had which you quoted and repaired the links of?
