The population in 15 different locations near Damascus in southern Syria is starving and there are hundreds of dying and dead civilians ! Only rare deliveries of food by the United Nations have been possible.
A Civil War between Government Forces and Opposition Forces has been raging for more than two years. In addition both sides are also fighting Jihadist Militants of the Islamic State, which wants to conquer and keep the whole of Syria ! Many towns in Syria have been destroyed.
There is one evident and simple observation which can be made. All the Troops fighting for the Government, the Opposition and for The Islamic State have, like all their Leaders, been well fed and watered ! They also have the Arms to fight !
The fact that hundreds of Civilians are dying from starvation seems to be of secondary importance !
Today talks have started in Geneva between Government and Opposition Leaders to end the Civil War. Perhaps they could also agree to fight together against the Jihadists of the Islamic State and in this way recover the control of their country !
If Bachar al Assad or Opposition Leaders expect that Syrian Civilians will vote to have them as their future Leaders after the Wars, this could become the next problem !
What kind of future can Syrians really expect for their country ? Will "Uncle Putin" help them, or the United Nations ? Who will rebuild Syria ? When ? With what money ?
