A comedian writes about Aleppo while the world, news, and media is... silent?

From gettyimages: The body of Abdulrahman, a 17-year-old Syrian youth who worked with a civil defense group and was killed by a mortar shell attack earlier in the day, is seen at a mosque during his funeral in the rebel-held city of Douma, northeast of the capital Damascus, on February 11, 2016.

This means that the death toll in Syria is NOT the 250,000 number the UN has been using since it stopped collecting data 18 months ago. The actual death toll in Syria is 470,000. 470,000 people. Men, women, children, infants, and the elderly. 


Deplorable behavior from the king of Bahrain. This video was posted as Russia continues to rain down bombs on Idlib and Aleppo. Russia has killed hundreds of Syrian. 80% of their airstrikes do not target Daesh. Are these accomplishments by Putin worth rewarding?

The MEE reports that King al-Khalifa told Putin, "We called it the sword of victory... for imminent victory, God willing".

89 civilians, 23 of which are children, have been killed as a result of Russia's Aleppo offensive. Thousands more are expected to continue to flee Russian airstrikes on the historic city. 

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Deaths in Detention in the Syrian Arab Republic

This report is an extensive documentation of the horrors within Syrian prisons. I would like to point out however, that although this report focuses on incidents between March 10, 2011 and November 30, 2015; this has been Syria's reality for decades. This is not something that started because of the Arab Spring, or the uprising in Syria. Systematic murder, rape, and torture such as detailed in the report have been going on since the reign of Hafez Al Assad.

As the battle for Aleppo rages on, thousands of Syrians are fleeing the Russia and the Syrian regime's bullets and bombs. An Al Jazeera news correspondent reports that there are 15,000 Syrians waiting at the border of Turkey.
According to AFP news agency, there has already been 21 civilians deaths in Aleppo. A video by AFP shows the aftermath of some of the airstrikes, and a citizen saying, "There is no Free Syrian Army here, and this is not a military zone. All this area here is full of civilians. There are no terrorists, or anything like that".





There are numerous disturbing videos that show what the effects of these airstrikes are, via the Sham Network Youtube Channel. I will be sharing some here but beware, there is gore and death. NSFW.

Again, these videos are NSFW/NSFL. Contain gore and death.

The reaction of a woman who finds the remains of her son. Haritan, Aleppo countryside.



Despair and lamentation fill Aleppo as a result of massacre by Russian airstrikes.
