Both the Syrian government and the opposition Syrian National Coalition (SNC) agree in principle that something should be done about the siege of Homs, and that nothing is currently being done. Ask who’s fault it is, however, and you’ll get two different answers.
Both sides are much more interested in appearing open to a deal than in actually making one, but the biggest problem seems to be that the SNC and the rebel fighters are two entirely different factions, and what the SNC is negotiating isn’t necessarily going to be honored on the ground.
On the one hand, the Syrian government has insisted that all women and children are free to leave Homs, if the rebels will allow it, and they have promised humanitarian aid for those who flee. They have also said they will let aid into the city, subject to deals with the UN.
The opposition is condemning that as a ploy, and with the UN saying efforts to deliver food to Yarmouk refugee camp, another siege, too difficult with all the checkpoints, getting food into Homs looks to be a difficult task.
And then there’s the rebels. They’re rejecting the idea of letting women and children leave or opening up a humanitarian corridor, saying they will only accept a deal that fully ends the siege and accepts their control over the city going forward.
The answers are two, one anarchism the other religious dictatorial regime as Saudi Arabia and Qatari or other tyrants regimes in the region. The Ukraine situation is about anarchism and USA-EU demand for regime change in that country is the same as in Syria. Both EU and USG have their interests grabbing either country making it their either military bases or killing the countries independent setting up a puppet regime, as a brain damaged former boxer or a Neo "truly yours" liberal fascism, both country are of geopolitical interests, one have its own natural resources (Syria) the other is very close to Central Asia natural resources. Dividing Yugoslavia into pieces and giving the control of Kosovo to sunny Muslims was about having a path to Caspian Sea where Saudis have a economic interests, Syrian war is a proxy war, a mercenaries wars, a Saudi Arabia and Qatari wars, a planed war by Paul Wolfowitz, for later wars with Iran, again occupation of Iraq and even further into Pakistan, the arrangements of these wars are about stealing people's natural resources by vulture capitalism, the older version of it was a world war, now is a tactical local wars where anarchism, fascism of all kind, mercenaries of all kind, barbarians of all kind and brain damaged boxers whom have turned to politics are used for. USG or the Neo liberal European fascism have no other choice but to cooperate with alike, no other would want to have anything to do with them, in another word, they are in making of Neo fascism, they are in making of hitlerism, they are in making and expending the religious dictatorial-totalitarian regimes rather then a functioning democracy, or even being against vulture capitalism and its militarism regime.
The "rebels" are using tactics of fear / terror against an innocent population to accomplish a political goal. That is terrorism, pure and simple. We need to stop using the language of those who oppress us when discussing that oppression. Syrian "rebels" are terrorists. "Defense" corporations deal in the instruments of war, and the Department of "Defense" spends more time and money on making war than on legitimate defense. "Humanitarian intervention" is almost always preemptive, aggressive war. Perception management is the tool of those with something to hide – namely the truth. We should stop using their euphemisms when the truth is readily available.
