'We Were Dying in There': Thousands of Syrians Flee Rebel Enclave: Nada Homsi and Nick Cumming-Bruce, The New York Times, 15 March 2018
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Thousands of exhausted civilians streamed out of the besieged Syrian enclave of eastern Ghouta on Thursday, the largest single-day exodus from the embattled region since the start of a punishing government offensive last month.
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Thousands of exhausted civilians streamed out of the besieged Syrian enclave of eastern Ghouta on Thursday, the largest single-day exodus from the embattled region since the start of a punishing government offensive last month.
The
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which is based in Britain and
tracks the conflict though a network of contacts, said that as many as
20,000 people had fled the region for government-held areas.

Video
of beleaguered civilians carrying satchels and children, some piled
high onto trucks and tractors, aired on Syrian state news media. Some
people had been wounded in the recent airstrikes by Syria and its
Russian allies that have reduced much of the area to rubble.
The mass migration served as a new reminder of the seven-year-old war’s great cost to Syria’s civilians and the brutal means the government has used to crush the remnants of the rebel movement that sought to topple it.
Many
left on foot, carrying what they could on their backs. Trucks, vans and
buses crammed with civilians and their belongings traveled dirt roads,
while huge crowds milled around waiting for transportation. The booming
of the continuing bombardment echoed as the government pressed its
offensive against neighboring towns.

The
intensity of the government assault left civilians in a confused panic,
said Mohammad Adel, an activist in Douma. Though the majority evacuated
to government-controlled areas, he said, some fled farther into rebel
territory because they feared the government.
“There
was no food, no medicine, nothing,” a woman leaving the enclave said on
Syrian state television. “We were dying in there.”
Marwan Habaq, whose family was from Arbin, said he, his wife and infant daughter had spent the past month fleeing the bombardment, each trip more dangerous than the last.

“We
don’t know what will happen,” Mr. Habaq said in a voice message, the
sound of rocket fire in the background. “I run to Hammouriyeh, they bomb
it. I run to Zamalka, more bombing is ahead of us.”
About 1,200 civilians have been killed since the Syrian government began its campaign to take the area last month.
The
roughly 400,000 people that the United Nations estimates are in the
area have faced harrowing challenges. The United Nations Security
Council endorsed a 30-day cease-fire for the region nearly a month ago,
but attacks have continued unabated. While government warplanes drop
bombs, rebel snipers on the ground have shot civilians trying to reach the government side.

For
many, the bleak situation in eastern Ghouta reflected the state of the
war seven years to the day after the first protests that led to Syria’s
conflict. Inspired by Arab Spring revolts in other countries, Syrians in
a number of areas took to the streets to demand political changes. The
government responded with force and the conflict escalated.
Now, the rebel movement that had once controlled large parts of Syria holds very few areas, and civilians are leaving.
The war has been characterized throughout by increasing brutality.
United
Nations investigators said Thursday that Syrian government troops and
affiliated militias had raped and sexually assaulted women and men in a
systematic campaign to terrorize, humiliate and punish civilians seen as
linked to the opposition — actions that amounted to crimes against
humanity.

Opposition
armed groups had also committed rapes and sexual violence. Although
such acts by rebels were “considerably less common,” the investigators
said, extremists had carried out executions and harsh punishments to
enforce their rigid social order.
The United Nations Commission of Inquiry monitoring Syria’s conflict said it had documented the rape of women and girls in 20 government detention facilities and military intelligence branches between 2011 and 2016, and the same violence against men and boys in 15 branches.
Such
attacks were “not isolated incidents but rather part of a pattern
observed countrywide,” the investigators said in a 29-page report, which
the panel’s chairman, Paolo Pinheiro, said was “based on 454 powerful,
devastating interviews” with victims and witnesses.

The
panel’s hope, he added, was that the report would serve as “an equally
powerful trigger for accountability,” he told a meeting at the United
Nations in Geneva. It was “particularly repulsive” that such violence
continued to go unpunished, he said.
During house raids searching for opposition supporters in the early years of the conflict, troops and militias raped women and forced family members to watch the assault, the panel said.
In
detention centers, guards subjected women to humiliating invasive
searches, gang rapes and torture to force confessions and extract
information. Low-ranking officers were often the perpetrators, the panel
found, but “numerous cases of rapes by high-level officers have also
been documented.”

Male
detainees, some as young as 11, also suffered a wide range of sexual
abuse, including rape, torture and genital mutilation. Investigators
said they had documented such abuse in the political security and
military intelligence branches in Aleppo, Hama, Idlib, Tartus and
Damascus, including the infamous Sednaya Prison, sometimes “seemingly
for amusement.”
Rape and sexual violence by armed opposition groups was not systematic, the panel said, but throughout the conflict it had received regular reports of extremist groups attacking people suspected of being gay, including throwing them off rooftops.
Militant
groups such as the Nusra Front and the Islamic State had sentenced
women accused of adultery to death by stoning, and subjected women who
violated their dress codes to lashings. In areas controlled by Islamic
State, women and girls as young as 14 were forced to marry fighters.

Open Letter to Suu, from Aunty Win (excerpt): Zarni's Blog, 16 March 2018
An Open letter to Suu
From Aunty Riri Win
From Aunty Riri Win
Dear Suu,
Our acquaintance started way back as far as the 60's. We got connected through Aunty Dora who adored you like a daughter she never had...
How time has changed. Today you don't have to fear the military
regime since you are part of it. You have become the Prima Donna of the
military and oblivious to the suffering of the people; the Kachins that
were slaughtered as well as the Rohingyas. You have declared the
accusations of genocide of the Rohingyas as fake news. You stated that
you are for law and order, obviously regardless of justice.
The military stated that the Rohingyas are not Burmese but Bengalis
who settled in Burma for a better life. Is this not unlike your
forefathers who came from Central Asia/Mongolia to seek a better life in
Burma; not unlike the Portuguese, the English and the Indians who seek a
greener pasture. They make up for what we now call Burmese The denial
of the genocide committed by the military is reinforced by your stance
and statements in agreement of this atrocities. The Stockholm Syndrome
apparently hits you when the victim eventually become part of the
oppressor. Remember Patricia Hearst? She joined her kidnappers and
robbed a bank.
It is a shame that you disregard the Buddhist tenet of ahimsa, thou
shall not kill. Instead, you support the narrow-minded Buddhists that
consider killing Muslims not a sin. Do you not heed The Dalai Lama's
pronouncement that Buddhist monks do not kill? Bishop Tutu, the Dalai
Lama, Malala, as well as the Pope urged you to work against
discrimination and justice. Yet you remain unmoved.
Your esteemed father spent his life to establish the military for
the good of the nation. On the other hand, the present military regime
work for their personal coffers. They have plundered the nation's
natural resources for their power and wealth while the rest of the
nation suffers.
Like so many observers, Uncle witnessed the suffering of the
Rohingyas at Cox's Bazaar in Bangladesh. They lost their homes and saw
their family members killed by the military. There are factual accounts
how the military used rape as a weapon of destruction. That is factual
and that is the truth.
You cannot be blind to the truth. Justice will prevail. The
international institutions will bring “the perpetrators of crime against
humanity, including murder, forcible transfer, deportation and
persecution on political, racial or religious grounds” to justice.
Remember Pol Pot in Cambodia? The Serb leaders in Kosovo?
I fear for the destiny of Aung San Suu Kyi, the former icon of
democracy. For being unmoved and unconcerned you are being complicit in
the atrocities perpetrated by the military... Will you be
the Marie Antoinette of Burma? Stand up for law and order with justice
and redeem yourself, Suu.
Uncle and I are at the sunset of our life, God willing we will always strive for justice. As John Wesley said:
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
Amen.
#Myanmar
gov offers absolutely nothing credible. Stats are 100,000+ lower than
the actual humans who fled, the name of the group #Rohingya, but the
racists call them "Bengali", a non-existent group there. #AungSanSuuKyi
and advisers are known liars. @nslwin: image via maung zarni @drzarni, 16 March 2018

Great to see (and read) a John Godfrey poem here. Thank you for that, Tom. McCabe's statement is truly depressing. Republicans really know how to fuck people, including other republicans.
ReplyDeleteJack and Terry - thanks my heroes!
ReplyDeleteThe poem came yesterday in an actual typescript in an actual envelope from the legendary dashing cavalier JG, whom, like everyone else worth knowing, I haven't seen in forever - but is my hero!
I hope he is reading / seeing this. The both of us may or may not inhabit Electronica. If me, surely not much longer, for (Jack), this simply can't go on. The world - the death of me. In a way good riddance. But still.
His letter reminds me of certain propinquities.
He reminds me he was present among a small group convened and loitering with intent at Peter Schjeldahl's apt on E 3rd St on the sorta fateful day I got off the boat from Angleterre with swiss pharmaceutical LSD packed under my fingernails... except that, in the III class bar of the United States, passing the Statue of Liberty, a minor concern about the trunk full of olympia press pornography that was about to be offloaded from the hold... took aholt of me... and (none of this is true of course) I licked it all off.
Making it difficult to tell the players w/o a scorecard, the rest of that day.
At one point the subway. Linda O'Brien of Oak Park, RIP. Pete snapped a picture. My purple or was it pink portobello road tie with polkadots, my potato dyed portobello road hospital orderly's jacket.
Long day it was, as Ted insisted on awarding me the Golden Ticket Cook's Tour of the LES. Garfinkel's Surgical Supply, upstairs of which Frank... and so on.
Some Fiorello LaGuardia businesses & c. Before the Age of Busy, there was so much more time for inessentials.
At one point Jim Brodey wouldn't peel off from the tour so Ted charmingly appointed a meeting. Jim would wait on the corner of whatever, I think it was 3rd St & B, and meet us there.
Ted's way of ditching the baggage.
And they say Ghouta was brutal.
The other propinquity and though JG doesn't remind me of it, we hung out in Buffalo the week after a beautiful and innocent (??) stranger made the terrible mistake of marrying me, in St Marks Church of all places. Then Niagara Falls iced and so on.
Brutal I tell you.
This is fifty years ago this coming Monday I think. Simply can't go on.
We listened to a lot of Sam & Dave, and then... nutty LSD eclipse viewing by no not the newlyweds but the very people who were about to drive us off a cliff.
JG wisely loitered on the civilized coast. Surely he will survive us.
Meanwhile Happy St Paddy's Day!
Edmund - Don't look down!
Ghouta - What can we do for you but wait and believe. Time may be circular.
Kashmir - You beauties!
Republicans - In what way do you differ from Democrats and vice versa? You both are every asshole in an SUV who tries to run me over on the freeway feeder.
And on the Golden yet!
