UN officials are accusing the Syrian government of new “war crimes” today related to the two month water shortage in the capital city of Damascus, saying the water supplies were cut for weeks because Syrian jets had struck the water supply infrastructure in the course of bombing rebels in the area.
The UN insisted this amounted to a war crime, because the loss of water supplies to 5.5 million people was “grossly disproportionate” to the military advantage of ousting the rebels from the area.
The Syrian government had initially accused the rebels of poisoning the water supplies and then said it was the rebels that damaged the infrastructure. While the UN confirmed that the damage was from airstrikes, they did not say if the poisoning happened or not.
Other UN reports also heavily blamed the Syrian government for most incidents in the country, though in cases like the allegation of cluster munition use, they conceded they hadn’t actually conclusively proven the planes dropping the munition were Syrian military planes.
More UN “officials” from European busybodies. Sure, Damascus is just bombing its own water supply, or otherwise just randomly bombing for fun.
Soon, Syrian government will be responsible for climate change.
Feckless useless Eurotrash lackies in UN suits… Disgraceful..
How are these investigative bodies formed, I tried to view these investigations with an open mind but this one is so absurd it calls into question all of their Syrian investigations.
1. The Syrian govt has no motive to bomb their own water pumping stations.
2. Water pumping stations are so easy to identify they would have to be total incompetents to do so.
3. The U.S. has admitted to numerous bombings of Syrian infrastructure controlled by ISIS, including electricity plants that supplied Aleppo and was used for water pumping, where’s the condemnation for that?
“The Syrian govt has no motive to bomb their own water pumping stations.”
How do you know?
another sleepless night MR.Knapp?
What, because I have a question I must be sleepless? I’m generally up very early (it’s not quite 4:30am my time at the moment).
Of course, the “UN” is an independent, always correct group we can rely on.
Poor Assad, like Pres. Putin, is demonized at every turn.
