Must-read Syria article

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Monday April 02, 2012 02:05author by Paul Baynes

Link to an excellent Foreign Policy piece by an Irish journalist who lived in Syria from c. 2007-2012. Accurate and insightful.

The link is to an article by Stephen Starr published in Foreign Policy. Stephen is an Irish journalist who lived in Damascus from around 2007 to 2012.

I know this guy Stephen personally from my own three years in Damascus, and he's very informed, he works hard at his journalism, and he's doing high quality work. For anyone who's interested in the Syrian situation, this is worth reading... hence I'm sharing it here.

to what we already know.

And there is no evidence either way as to who is reponsible for the atrocities. Seems to be hearsay and circumstantial..except that it points to Saudi sectarian manipulation of the situation for its own hegemonic ends, and general recognition internally of that fact. Am I misreading?

Little analysis of the reports of arming and funding by Turkey, and other Nato vested vultures.
