From de-dollarization to the weaponization of the world's currency, rebuilding Syria, the US-led war of terror and war of attrition against the Syrian people, the newly announced strategic Syrian-Chinese partnership, the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative, the US Army's partnership with ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists, the theft of Syrian oil and wheat, and the Western neo-liberalism fascism were among some of the issues the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad discussed in the interview conducted with him by the Chinese Media Group.
The interview with the Syrian president took place in Beijing after concluding the state visit Bashar al-Assad alongside the Asia Games 2023 in which he met the Chinese leadership including a summit with President Xi Jinping and the Chinese prime minister.
A global campaign is being organized to lift the western illegal and inhumane sanctions imposed on the Syrian people, you are invited to join the campaign, join a sit-in in your city, or at least share the information to spread awareness.
The Syrian people have been combating the world's worst sort of terrorism on behalf of all humanity for the past 12 years, tens of thousands of anti-Islamic Muslim Brotherhood and Wahhabi terrorists were sent to Syria from across the planet to kill and maim the Syrian people and destroy their country.
The same western countries sponsoring the terrorists have imposed some of the most inhumane sanctions on the Syrian people, sanctions affect the most vulnerable in the societies targeted.
In addition to forces from NATO, the 'defensive alliance' occupy one-third of the country which 'coincidentally' happens to be the region that has the main oil and gas fields and the fertile agricultural lands in Syria.
On top of all of that, Syria, especially the northern and coastal regions were struck by the devastating double earthquake on the 6th of February, last month killing, and injuring hundreds of people and destroying thousands of buildings.
Most of the above suffering inflicted on the Syrian people is man-made and is committed by the self-proclaimed 'international society', a wide term the western countries made exclusive to themselves, the countries that committee the worse war crimes in the history of mankind while at the same time preaching the world about human rights and freedoms!
Every citizen of the countries imposing these illegal coercive measures dubbed as sanctions against the Syrian people is an accomplice in the suffering inflicted on the people who did no harm to any other country around the world, on the contrary, in addition to giving the world the first alphabet, the first domesticized settlements, the first civilizations, and spread the three mainstream divine religions to the rest of the world, in addition to those and more, the Syrian people have welcomed the oppressed who sought refuge from every other country.
All you're asked to do is spend a few minutes of your time to join the sit-in if it's in your city as detailed in the following post, or at least share the information with your friends and relatives: The Global Campaign to End the Siege on Syria – You’re Invited
A delegation from the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union visited Damascus and met with President Bashar Assad in a challenge to the US / European siege on Syria and to show solidarity with the main Arab country in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck the northern regions of the country earlier this month.
The show of solidarity with the Syrian people by the delegations of the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union comes as the implementation of their conference's decision to restore the relations between the Arab countries and Syria after over a decade of estrangements upon the request of the United States of America.
The USA, however, managed to order the delegations of the Kuwaiti and Moroccan 'democracies' to boycott the visit despite the fact that Kuwait, unlike much of the Arab world did not sever its diplomatic ties with Syria but did contribute financially and with terrorists to the cause of destroying the last secular country in the region.
Morocco is a lost cause, it's an absolute dictatorship monarchy in which the people literally prostate to their king in a humiliating way to humankind and against the teachings of Islam.
The visit of the parliamentarians comes, naturally with the approval of their respective rulers, a sign that the Arabs have decided that serving the USA has limits, especially seeing the signs of the powers of the empire of evil fading across the globe.
Using the gesture of solidarity with an earthquake-struck people, the parliamentarians paved the path for further restoration of diplomatic relations between Syria and the formerly US-tight-controlled Arab countries, if they can manage to follow up on their steps.
Worth noting that despite many of the Arab countries severing their diplomatic ties with Syria and contributing 'generously' to the terrorist war against the Syrian people, Syria has maintained an open door for them to repent when they're ready and has not responded in kind to their 'generosity'.
Egypt has decided to continue its support for the Syrians after the devastating earthquake earlier this month left tens of thousands of people killed across the Syrian - Turkish borders, and hundreds of thousands homeless.
A second ship carrying humanitarian aid sailed to the Syrian port of Latakia from the Egyptian El-Arish port, this follows the previous Egyptian ship that delivered a total of 500 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Syria a couple of days ago.
Sending humanitarian aid to countries struck by natural disasters is the norm in the international arena except when it comes to Syria which is deprived of any businesses or even humanitarian interactions with other countries due to those countries' fear of the US and European Union sanctions created to prevent such interactions with Syria.
Egypt, however, had to wait over two weeks after the earthquake to deliver its first ship to Syria awaiting the approval of the USA to exempt this particular cargo from its inhumane embargo on the Syrian people.
The USA is the same country that occupies large parts of Syria which happens to be the parts where the main Syrian oil, gas, and wheat fields are. The USA sponsors dozens of terrorist groups wreaking havoc in Syria killing tens of thousands of innocent people, maiming tens of thousands more, and inflicting enormous suffering on the Syrian people in order to achieve a regime change in the country.
An explosion of a landmine planted by the US-created, funded, trained, armed, and sponsored ISIS terrorists in the city of Deir Ezzor killed a Syrian child and injured his two little friends.
The explosion that shook the northern suburb of Al-Hussainiyah of Deir Ezzor city, north of Syria killed the 11 years old boy with shrapnel in his head and body, the two others 11, and 13 years old were also injured by the shrapnel, one of them is in critical condition.
Investigations by the local police confirmed the landmine was planted by ISIS when they infested the area with the help of the USA and other NATO member states and proxy terrorist groups, the area of the explosion was cordoned awaiting the Syrian Army's engineering corps to search for and dismantle other explosives that might be in the area.
Landmines are one of the long-lasting killing tools used by the USA and its proxies against the Syrian people especially the most vulnerable ones like children, and farmers in their farmlands.
The USA is refusing to share the maps of the landmines planted by its ISIS and other Al Qaeda groups it sponsors in Syria, it's also impeding the work of international organizations like the UNMAS of the United Nations, and on top of that, the sanctions and blockade it imposes with the help of its European cronies on the Syrian state prevent it from acquiring needed tool and equipment to extract and destroy landmines and explosive more efficiently and to deal with the injured victims who need proper medical treatment out of reach of the Syrian healthcare system due to those sanctions.
The director of the World Health Organization paid a visit to Syria bringing with him some much-needed medical-related humanitarian aid, after the massive controversy about the pandemic and suspicions about the WHO's agenda, some are worried about this visit.
Tedros A. Ghebreyesus landed at Aleppo International Airport on the 11th of the month, 5 days after the devastating double earthquakes that struck northern Syria and southern Turkey which inflicted tens of thousands of casualties in both affected countries and left enormous destruction in buildings and infrastructure in addition to overwhelming the healthcare facilities, especially in Syria.
12 years of the US-led war of terror against the Syrian people, their state, and their heritage, accompanied by a complete blockade under dubbed sanctions by both the USA and its European Union minions have strongly hit the Syrian healthcare system which was thriving before this war.
The US and EU blockade, though claiming to exempt humanitarian aid and food items, prevented any business transactions between Syrian entities and the rest of the world including with Syria's closest allies like Russia, Iran, China, and others whose banks and financial institutions were interconnected directly and indirectly with the banking system dominated by the US and EU.
The healthcare aid brought into Syria by the director of the World Health Organization is essential in the relief efforts for both the earthquake and the years of war, it's not enough and it's just another proof that US and EU 'sanctions' did block Syria from acquiring these supposed to be exempted items.
However, there are many skeptics worried about the visit of the WHO official due to the controversial practices of the international organization in suspending critiques of its handling of the pandemic, its promoting of certain vaccination programs while blocking other proven cures, not to mention the lockdowns and restriction of movement which added further strangulations of vulnerable economies.
Dozens of families, mostly women and children, are being hosted by the Church of the Holy Trinity of the Armenian Catholics in Aleppo, they were left homeless after last week's devastating earthquake.
A Syrian Armenian volunteer said that every day they have between 600 and 675 people who they take care of in the church, the volunteer himself and his family are also survivors of the earthquake but they are finding consolation in helping others.
The main hall in the church was turned into a temporary shelter area to accommodate its guests, volunteers, local charities, and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent are helping with food, baby formula, blankets, medicine, and emotional support, many of the survivors lost loved ones in the ordeal.
Last week's double earthquake was the most devastating in the region in decades, thousands of buildings are affected, including those which have already collapsed, and those that are in danger of collapsing, leaving their residents who survived getting buried under the rubble homeless.
Meanwhile, the US and its fake humanitarian European cronies have not provided any help to Syria, on the contrary, countries that are providing help have to send it through neighboring Lebanon out of fear of the US and EU sanctions, though 'temporarily paused for 180 days' as claimed by the US regime of Biden, there's nothing tangible thus far of that pause on this decade-long war crime and systematic genocide dubbed sanctions.
Add to that the continued occupation of Syria's main oil fields and agricultural food basket by the US Army to deprive the Syrians of their own fuel and food!
If you want to help, make sure the help goes to the ones in need and not through some scam campaigns or through western official channels. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent and Churches like the above-mentioned can receive your funds.
The latest toll of the devastating earthquake that struck northern Syria and southern Turkey last week reached 3749 killed and injured people in Syria alone, the Syrian Ministry of Health reported at the time of this report.
The casualties on the Syrian side include 1408 killed and 2341 injured, the search is still ongoing amid fears of discovering more dead as hope is fading away in finding survivors almost a week after the disaster and due to the extremely cold weather, not to mention the western sanctions impeding the ability of the rescue teams to receive the equipment they badly need.
Hundreds of buildings were destroyed, and thousands of others are endangered in the Syrian provinces of Aleppo, Latakia, and Hama in the double earthquakes that struck Syria and Turkey last Monday, tens of thousands are homeless and are taken to temporary shelters, they badly need medicine, food, and items used for hygiene and daily needs.
Some of the countries rushed from the early hours of the disaster to provide rescue teams and humanitarian aid breaking the US and European Union blockade, countries like Russia, Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Lebanon, and China, others were encouraged later on including countries that don't have enough for themselves like Bangladesh and Tunisia, while others who supported the terrorists in Syria for over 12 years with hundreds of billions of dollars worth weapons either gave microscopic aid or refrained completely from providing any aid like countries in the European Union and the mother of all evil in the world, the USA.
Beware of fraud, many sites, social media pages and accounts, and fake agencies are claiming they are providing support to Syria, please take extra caution if you are willing to help, you can help the official Syrian Arab Red Crescent which works on the ground inside Syria.
As the Syrian people suffer from the major earthquake that struck northern Syria and southern Turkey, thousands of people are still under the rubble in freezing cold weather conditions, the US and European official continue their inhumane criminal blockade over the country and at the same time lie that humanitarian aid is exempted in their illegal sanction, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs exposed those war criminal liars.
A statement issued by the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called out the lies of the US officials and their European minions in regard to the earthquake and humanitarian relief aid to Syria, the statement explained how digging machinery to locate people under the rubble is not allowed to be sent to Syria despite western claims otherwise.
Yes, there are clauses exempting humanitarian aid in the US and European Union's illegal sanctions against Syria, and its main Caesar Act regime of sanctions, the measures implemented by the other clauses in these regimes of sanctions make it impossible for 3rd countries who still have ties with the west to transact with Syria, including sending humanitarian aid.
The sanctions block any transactions between banks in any country and Syrian banks, the same with other financial businesses, airplanes are not allowed to fuel if their destination is Syria, and sanctions are instantly imposed on airlines that do trips to Syria.
Commerical airplanes avoiding Syrian airspace to avoid western sanctions
Medicine is exempted from the US and EU blockade and sanctions on Syria but the means to deliver it are not, food is exempted from the US and EU blockade and sanctions on Syria, but there's no way to deliver those to Syria without transacting with western-controlled banks, insurance companies that insure airplanes and ships, exporters are not allowed to export to Syria out of the fear of ending up in prison in the Western 'free world' and Josep Borrell's 'garden' which they built by invading other countries and plundering their wealth.
"US officials can lie, but it is the pictures from the affected areas in Aleppo, Latakia, and Hama that reveal the truth, and the Syrians are facing their catastrophe with strength, steadfastness, and success despite all these sanctions." Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement.
Biden forces under the guise of the US Army operating illegally in Syria continue to steal Syrian oil and wheat on a daily basis ever since their deployment under the fake task of combating ISIS, the latest was 60 tankers and trucks yesterday alone.
Our sources in the Al Jazira region confirmed spotting two convoys of tankers and trucks loaded with stolen Syrian oil and wheat heading toward the US military bases in Iraq, and crossing into the neighboring country through the two illegal Al Waleed and Mahmoudiyeh crossings.
The convoy comprising 24 trucks and tankers carrying stolen Syrian wheat and oil was accompanied by US armored vehicles, it crossed into Iraq through the illegal Al Waleed crossing point.
Another convoy of 36 tankers carrying stolen Syrian oil was seen heading toward the Al Mahmoudieh illegal crossing on the Iraqi borders, no reports of seeing US armored vehicles with this convoy, most likely only Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists would be guarding this stolen oil.
It's the same US junta of the woke Biden and his clan who keep crying about the sovereignty of Ukraine, just to keep this in mind.
We rely on local sources in the northeastern regions of Syria, it's called the 'Al Jazira' region which means 'the Island' as it's situated between a set of rivers, the Euphrates, Tigris, and their branches, this comprises the provinces of Raqqa, Deir Ezzor, and Hasakah, not surprising the most agricultural fertile land in Syria and coincidentally where Syria's main oil and gas fields are located in which the US regimes of Obama, Trump, and Biden are sponsoring ISIS, Kurdish SDF, and other nefarious terrorist groups.
A landmine explosion killed four farmers on a farm in the countryside of Salamiyah in Hama province, central Syria, the Hama Police Command stated.
The explosion took place in the early morning of Wednesday 28 December 2022; the bodies of the victims were taken to the city's main hospital.
Hama police command's statement confirmed the landmine was planted by ISIS terrorists before they were defeated by the Syrian Arab Army and were forced to flee from the region.
NATO, the defensive alliance [sic], and its allies sponsored a plethora of freedom fighter groups in Syria, literally as what a western politician named Joe Biden stated when he was the vice president of the USA: 'they (referring to his country's coalition) were ready to support any group that accepted to fight against (the Syrian President) Assad'.
The CIA later tells us that almost every member of those freedom fighters ended up in one of the radical groups, a term used to point to Al Qaeda and its affiliates and offshoot groups including ISIS in Syria.
Despite the non-stop efforts by the Syrian Army's Engineering Corps and sappers from friendly countries like Armenia and Russia, the task to remove tens of thousands of landmines and explosive devices planted in every area infested by the NATO-sponsored freedom fighters (al Qaeda, ISIS...) in Syria is overwhelming.
Furthermore, the US-led western coalition of humanitarians impedes the work of the UNMAS, a United Nations action organization whose sole job is to help countries dismantle mines and explosives, impose sanctions and blockade against the Syrian state rendering its efforts to acquire needed equipment to locate and remove those killing tools fruitless.
First of all, let me start by telling you what the US and its satellite European Union countries call sanctions are miscategorized, these are war crimes and crimes against humanity dubbed as sanctions, there's only one entity in the world that can impose sanctions as per international law and that's neither the USA nor any of its allies nor all of them combined, that entity is called the United Nations Security Council, dysfunctional as it might be.
Syria has been under so-called US sanctions ever since 1956, if some think it's related to the current US-led war of regime change in the country, it has been ever escalating since and it's all to serve the antichrist project of establishing an anti-Jewish Zionist state in Palestine called Israel.
The latest packages of the blockade and unilateral coercive measures, the correct legal term for what western officials and news media claim are sanctions, are the harshest imposed on a country, not even Cuba or North Korea is under the same, to put it mildly, it's all presented by the US for its part under a so-called Caesar Act, and by the European Union under what they cannot hide when explaining by terming them: 'EU restrictive measures against the Syrian regime'..!
Despite all the above and below-mentioned hardships imposed on the Syrian people, dozens of new investment projects have been licensed worth 1.5 trillion Syrian Liras employing more than 4,000 workers, the above video explains, and the link at the end of this piece details.
The United States of America managed to lead dozens of countries around the world to sponsor terrorists of Al Qaeda and its affiliates and offshoots like ISIS to wage a relentless 11 years of war of terror against the Syrian people, it's not enough that the US Army blatantly steals Syrian oil and wheat in broad daylight, and it's not enough the USA and its cronies occupy large parts of Syrian lands coincidentally where Syria's main agricultural and oil and gas fields are, or like in the case of the US Army at the Al Tanf cross-borders between Syria, Iraq, and Jordan, or the Turkish regime of madman Erdogan occupying and disrupting parts of the M4 international highway, all under the false humanitarian guise.
The Syrian people are going through some of the most difficult times, they faced the worst scum of the planet of Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists, and now they are punished by the humanitarian bastards stealing their oil and imposing a blockade on their country preventing them from buying oil from international markets.
Despite having the world's largest exporters of oil as their presumed allies and brethren, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Algeria, Libya.. they all fail to help the Syrian people face the shortages caused by the US and European Union camp of evil countries, some of them out of fear from the US sanctions and the others are playing their part in destroying the cradle of civilization.
In an attempt to manage the available oil and oil derivatives in the country, the Syrian government has extended the weekend to an additional day for 2 weeks for public entities across the country.
The US army stole more than 100 billion dollars worth of Syrian oil in the past couple of years, the least estimates suggest.
The building of the Sweida Governorate 'City Hall' was stormed, looted, then set ablaze by dozens of 'peaceful protesters' who torched police vehicles outside the building then marched toward the police headquarters nearby, killed a policeman but failed to storm the building.
The label is protesting against poverty and corruption, the real motive is another US-sponsored color revolution after failing in their initial more than a decade-long bloodiest costliest color revolution in the world.
It's no coincidence that the riots in the relatively calm Sweida province come as the riots in Iran are becoming under control especially after exposing the foreign hands behind the rioters in Iran and after the foreign hands behind the war on the Syrian people are shouting to disclose themselves.
Local notables and heads of the Druze community, the largest minority in the region, convened, discussed, condemned the riots, and called on cooperating with the authorities to identify and arrest the agitators.
This is not a protest, it's a riot, protesters do not shoot at policemen, they don't attempt to storm the police headquarters, protesters do not steal official documents from the local administration building, documents that concern the people of the province and their properties, and protesters do not carry weapons in the first place.
As I asked in my report to Syria News the US readers, I'm asking the readers of this post to compare these riots to the US January 06 riots where the protesters were not armed, they did not steal documents, and they did not burn the Capitol building, on top of all of that, there were no foreign players supporting them: Rioters Kill Syrian Policeman, Burn the Governorate Building in Sweida.
USCENTCOM admitted their illegal military base in southeastern Deir Ezzor province came under missile attack, they claimed nobody was hurt and no material damage was caused by the missiles blowing up the dorms of their troops!
Local sources and the Syrian news agency Sana confirmed the bombing of the so-called 'Green Zone' comprising the dorms of the US oil thieves.
The missile attack comes after Israel bombed a Syrian military air base a day earlier, a Syrian resistance group vowed to bomb the US oil thieves illegally operating in Syria every time Israel bombs Syria, no party claimed responsibility for this attack but surely the message was delivered.
Biden continues his plot he started under Obama to destabilize the region and steal Syrian oil trying to effect a regime change in Syria, Trump was no better, he escalated the US war crimes against Syria unilaterally and collectively with his NATO buddies.
The US officials claim they are in Syria to combat ISIS, except that ISIS only grew under their watch and in the areas controlled by the US troops, and all evidence released so far proves beyond any doubt that the US army or parts of it in Syria do arm, finance, train, and command ISIS, I've shared dozens of posts before on this platform and on my main website proving the same.
Keep in mind, there was no Al Qaeda or ISIS before the US and UK invasion of Iraq, and ISIS was largely defeated by the Syrian army and its allies and by the Iraqi PMU before the US interfered again.
While supposed to be advanced countries like Germany and Canada failed to repair and install a gas turbine to keep the Russian gas flow to Europe due to their own sanctions, Syria has managed to break the US and European blockade and installed a vital gas turbine in one of the gas fields previously destroyed by US-sponsored 'freedom fighters' aka Al Qaeda.
The Southern Central Region Gas Plant will see its output increase by half a million cubic meters per day thanks to the new turbine installed, this will increase the supply to the country's electric thermal power plants and for domestic house use.
Not only the USA and its European lackeys sponsored terrorists who destroyed these major infrastructure facilities in Syria and impose draconian blockades and sanctions on the Syrian people, the humanitarian bastards of the US army with the help of other terrorists occupies Syria's important oil and gas field, steals on daily bases dozens of oil tankers out of the country, and smuggle them to finance its black ops against the people of the region.
The US army illegally deployed and operating in Syria continues their theft of Syrian oil on daily basis, the latest shipment spotted by locals was a convoy of 50 tankers loaded with stolen Syrian oil heading to neighboring Iraq.
The 50 tankers convoy carried oil from the Rmeilan oil fields in the northeastern countryside of Hasakah province in the northeast of Syria and crossed into Iraq through an illegal border at the Mahmoudiyah village, the locals reported.
This is a daily basis task for the US army in addition to training, arming, funding, and protecting terrorist groups in Syria, the likes of ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Kurdish SDF separatists, and their offshoots.
Syrians, meanwhile, suffer massive shortages in electricity, fuel for their vehicles, fuel for their factories and farmlands, and for heating.
US and EU total blockade over Syria using their control of the banking system and their sanctions on third-party companies prevents Syria from acquiring the needed fuel from other producers to compensate for the quantities stolen by the Biden junta.
A column of US Army accompanied by Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists tried to storm a village in the northeastern countryside of Syria but was faced by a Syrian Army checkpoint.
The US army column of six armored vehicles with an additional vehicle of their proxy Kurdish separatists was blocked by the Syrian army checkpoint guarding the entrance of Al-Salhiya, a small village in the eastern countryside of Qamishli, Syria's largest city in the northeast of the country.
US column brought in helicopters to the site but the Syrian Army boys were not budged and forced the oil thieves of the US army and their little thugs to back down and retreat to where they came from.
This is a common confrontation, the Kurds, if they were alone they would stir problems with the SAA checkpoint and might engage with them, usually these will be followed by larger confrontations, however, the oil thieves of the US army fear for their lives, they do realize they are occupation forces tasked to steal Syrian oil and the motivation is with the people of Syria and their army, US soldiers killed or wounded would be like mercenary thieves during a heist they prefer not to take their chances.
During the past few days, we've heard a series of statements from top Turkish officials calling for rapprochement with Syria and the need to cooperate with the Syrian state to 'foil sinister plots in the region' and how Turkey helped Syria during the past decade, the latest was a couple of statements from Erdogan himself in this regard.
The only thing that Turkey helped Syria with is to cleanse the country from the corrupt officials it had prior to 2011 who mostly fled to Turkey and other countries with the money they stole and embezzled, everything bad that happened to the Syrian people and the country had Turkey as the main culprit behind it.
From creating terrorist groups, training them, arming them, and smuggling them into Syria through a 910 kilometers long border, to stealing Syrian factories and destroying what they couldn't steal, contributing to the blockade against Syria and to the extent of drying up the flow of the Euphrates into Syria by building many dams to hold the water inside Turkey, and many others.
Erdogan and his AKP ruling party are in worse shape, even worse than that of the Democrats in the USA, they've faced sets of defeats to the opposition in the past elections and are heading steadily to their major defeat in the upcoming election which Erdogan if he doesn't win, jail is waiting for him.
When the EU blocked its doors in the face of Turkey, it was Syria that opened the southern gate for Turkey and from which the Turkish economy saw tremendous growth, btw, until this very day Turkey is a candidate to join the EU with no decision in sight to accept it as a member, unlike Ukraine which is fast-tracked a membership despite everything wrong in that country. What did Syria get in return from the Turks? Back-stabbing to the max.
For Erdogan to restore relations with Syria while his army occupies parts of the country with the help of non-other than Al Qaeda and its various factions, and while he continues the same policies thinking that the Syrians will run to accept his extended hand, he is proving the fool he is, Syria has won the war and turned the war waged against it into ticking bombs in the countries that attacked it, just like how Russia is winning the war and the countries opposing it in the other camp are having their ticking bombs, why would Syria accept to extend a hand and save the sinking criminals?
The Syrian ship Laodicea carrying 10 thousand tonnes of grains finally reached its destination in the Syrian port of Tartous yesterday and started unloading its cargo, the ship was held temporarily in Lebanon because of false accusations by the Ukrainian ambassador there that it was carrying grains stolen from Ukraine, allegations proved after investigations to be false.
The Syrian people are facing shortages in wheat, their main food staple as their own wheat and other grains are systematically stolen by the US occupation forces with the help of their Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists, earlier with the help of their ISIS and Al Qaeda proxy terrorists. Lebanon, mostly dependent on imported grains are also suffering severe shortages, and what does Ukraine do in the meantime? Block the delivery of grains arriving to both countries by false allegations.
A week ago, the Laodicea arrived at the Lebanese port of Tripoli, and instead of starting to unload half of its cargo destined for Lebanon before heading north to the nearby Syrian port of Tartous to deliver the other half, it was seized by a Lebanese judicial order pending investigations about the origins of the grains it's carrying.
Apparently, the Ukrainian ambassador to Lebanon made a media PR stunt as well as filed an urgent law case against the ship and its cargo asking the Lebanese authorities to seize both claiming the grains were stolen from Ukrainian stores with the help of Russia.
The owners of the ship, the Syrian Maritime Authority refuted the claims and presented the necessary documents to the authorities but it was already a weekend, upon resuming working days yesterday, the Lebanese judge looking into the matter ordered the Ukrainian ambassador, the plaintiff, to present documents proving his claims within 2 days, naturally, the ambassador of the Zelensky regime failed to produce any documents and the ship was allowed to unload the part of the cargo destined for Lebanon and headed north to Syria.
The Ukrainians gained a PR stunt to demonize Syria and Russia by accusing them of stealing their grains, we know that western media will only report this part of the story, they did lose the case but what they achieved besides the PR stunt to demonize the two accused, the Ukrainians managed to add to the suffering of the Lebanese and Syrians by delaying a much-needed cargo of grains.
Those are the same party who was crying with their western sponsors of a fake famine worldwide accusing Russia of blocking their exports of grains while they're the ones who mined their ports out of fear of Russian sea invasion and they're the ones blocking the delivery of the grains that were coming from Russian territories.
If there were still a few people in the Levant sympathizing with Ukraine, now they lost those completely.
