As Another Mass Suicide Staged as ‘a Syrian Government Chemical Attack’ looms.

By Eze Eluchie

As the Syrian military and their Russian backers mass around the city of Idlib for what promises to be one-hell-of-a-dog-fight to retake the last remaining stronghold of the rebels in Syria, a battle that will, like others before in Allepo, Ghouta and Douma, end in favour of the forces of Bashir al-Assad, the rebels will as usual, try their oft repeated ploy to elicit a congregation of global revulsion against the Syrian Government by unleashing a suicidal attack against rebel held territories with the aim of eliciting global condemnation and blame for the attack on Syrian authorities.

When it is realized that slightly over 10,000 thousand Al-Nusra, Al-Qeida and other extremist Islamist terrorist are embedded with more than 2 million people in Idlib, terrorists who have shown a propensity for suicidal attacks and repeatedly exhibited no qualms in self-sacrifice and inflicting harms on self to spite the ‘enemy’, one understands the real possibility of the terrorists doing whatsoever they imagine would discredit the al-Assad regime – including recourse to using chemical weapons in rebel-held Idlib.

Threats by the US administration to strike at Syrian government forces in the event that chemical weapons are used in efforts at liberating Idlib can only serve to strengthen the resolve of the terrorists elements in Idlib to commit acts of mass suicide of epic proportions to engender global condemnation of  President al-Assad and set up a likely confrontation between US and Russian forces, who have rightly committed towards helping their Syrian allies to ensure territorial integrity of Syria is maintained.

It will really be ideal for safe-corridors to be provided for civilians and combatants who are willing to lay down their arms, trapped in Idlib, to exit the city, to allow for an expedited end to the now 7-year old Syrian civil war. The human catastrophe the Syrian civil war should be brought to an end as soon as possible to allow for the commencement of the rebuilding of this once great and historic territory.
