Continuing Silence On Assad’s Crimes Would Undermine The Syrians’ Confidence in the Anti-ISIS Alliance

Salim al-Meslet, spokesman for the Syrian Coalition, warns of the risks of the international anti-ISIS coalition’s continued ignoring of the terrorism of the Assad regime as this would undermine the Syrian people’s confidence in the goals of this coalition.” His statement followed the Assad regime’s massacres against civilians across Syria, the latest of which took place in the town of Talbeesa north of Homs where 26 civilians, including 13 children, were killed in aerial shelling and also in Bosra al-Sham, where 16 civilians, mostly women and children, were killed in similar attacks. Meslet calls for the immediate of the decisions concerning the arming the Free Syrian Army and expanding the aid to include advanced weapons, training and air cover. (Source: Syrian Coalition)
