Almost twenty months after some kids sprayed graffiti on the walls in Daraa Assad's war of annihilation against the own population is climbing from one disgraceful top to the other. The humanitarian situation in Syria and its' neighboring countries worsens from day to day.
The Syrian revolutionaries, feeling betrayed and forgotten, fight a desperate but also courageous battle against a regime behaving like a radical sect but blaming the rest of the world as radical sectarians or their financers. Calls for a better equipment to withstand the regime forces' air raids were down-argued with the concerns, that they might end in the wrong hands.
Overcrowded refugee camps, critical hygienic conditions, lack of fresh water, medical supply missing - the to-do list is as long as an eight-year old child's list of Christmas wishes but even the big players among the international aid organizations have enormous problems to handle the crisis. Without the help measures of private initiatives worldwide - being able to implement direct help as unbureaucratic as possible - the whole situation would be far worse as it actually is.
The number of martyrs rises continuously. 182, 162, 234, 162, 156, 168, 123. The fever chart of Bashar's blasphemous bingo. This ordered killing spree serves only the interest to maintain the status quo as property owners but is sold as attempt to crackdown fierce extremist infiltrators. And the world still believes the fairy tale of that 'incredible threat for the whole universe' only Assad can defeat. It's no longer 'me or chaos!' like Saleh used to say. It's more a 'me or the Armageddon!' which unfortunately still convinces the worriers and fearmongers among the global ruling elite.
So how's the outlook for the upcoming winter? Dark, I suppose, if you still count on that miracle called international effective help for the freedom striving Syrians. But in relation to it bright if you consider the strength of resistance the world witnesses (if the finally dropped the off-button on their TV remote control and take a good, a real good look) which is in comparison to other people revolutions a really impressing and remarkable one.
The only miracle I see on the short-termed horizon is that all the regime top goons disappear. Vanish. Like ghosts. Best from one day to another. But instead of waiting for Godot I'm hoping the Syrians will keep up that energy level to topple those who have to come down after all they committed until now.
