The Syrian Coalition strongly condemns the massacre committed by regime forces backed by terrorist militias of Hezbollah in the town of Zara, Homs, where 20 civilians were summarily executed. The Syrian Coalition holds the international community responsibility for failing to protect civilians, despite the numerous warnings sent by the Coalition in this regard. “The world’s most effective actors are also responsible for failing to curb the passive Russian position in the UN Security Council. Assad’s criminal and sectarian crimes are an embodiment of his view of a political solution, as he has been exploiting the international community’s reluctance and inaction to escalate the systematic killing of civilians and uprooting them from their cities and cities across Syria.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
