Liquidating Militants and Civilians Too
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday described militants in Syria’s last big rebel-held enclave of Idlib as a “festering abscess” that needed to be liquidated. Along the way, so will Putin liquidate thousands of civilians he knows Trump will not object to their mass deaths.
Speaking after talks with his Saudi counterpart Adel bin Ahmed al-Jubeir in Moscow, Lavrov said:
This is the last hotbed of terrorists who are trying to speculate on the region’s status as a de-escalation zone, who are trying to hold the civilian population hostage as human shields and bend to their will those armed groups ready to engage in dialogue with the government… So from all points of view, this festering abscess needs to be liquidated.
Lavrov told reporters that there was a political understanding between Turkey and Russia on the need to distinguish between the Syrian opposition and people he described as terrorists in Idlib Province. Ergo, save the Muslim Brotherhood.
The government of chemical Assad says it aims to recapture Idlib. The province has become a refuge for civilians and rebels displaced from other areas of Syria.
A wave of air strikes hit the region this month in a possible prelude to a full-scale government offensive. Assad struck a children hospital full of injured during these attacks.
