Flüchtlingsthemen standen hoch auf der Agenda des Besuchs von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel in Jordanien und dem Libanon Mitte Juni. An einer Rückkehr der syrischen Flüchtlinge sei allen gelegen, "aber es müssen sichere Bedingungen sein, wenn eine Rückkehr in Betracht gezogen werden soll", so die Kanzlerin. Sie war noch nicht einmal ins Flugzeug zurück nach Berlin gestiegen, da begann das syrische Regime bereits die nächste militärische Großoffensive. Angriffsziel diesmal: die Provinz Daraa im Süden Syriens.

Während in Berlin über sichere Grenzen gesprochen wird, bringt die nächste Offensive des syrischen Regimes neues Leid. Für Syriens Präsident Baschar al-Assad sind Flüchtlinge eine Waffe. Von Bente Scheller aus Beirut

Dear Bashar al-Assad Apologists: Your Hero Is a War Criminal Even If He Didn’t Gas Syrians
Dear Bashar al-Assad Apologists,
Sorry to interrupt: I know you’re very busy right now trying to convince yourselves, and the rest of us, that your hero couldn’t possibly have used chemical weapons to kill up to 70 people in rebel-held Douma on April 7. Maybe Robert Fisk’s mysterious doctor has it right — and maybe the hundreds of survivors and eyewitnesses to the attack are all “crisis actors.”
Maybe Assad didn’t use sarin to kill around 100 people in rebel-held Khan Sheikhoun a year ago either. A joint investigation by the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons found “unmistakable evidence” that he did. Human Rights Watch and Hans Blix also agree that Assad was probably to blame. But maybe they’re all wrong. Or, maybe they’re paid shills for the CIA.
My point is this: Who cares? Seriously, who cares? Whether or not it was Assad who used chemical weapons in Syria earlier this month, or last year, might matter to the leaders of the U.S., the U.K., and France, who decided to launch brazenly illegal and rather pointless airstrikes against his regime, but it doesn’t change the fact that the Syrian president-for-life is a monster who has perpetrated a vast array of blatant human rights abuses, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

How Assad 'won the war'
.......
And Bashar al-Assad has not just one occupying power on his side, but two: Russia and Iran. And while the two fight his battles for him in the east and south, Assad is able to put up a show of alleged stability in Damascus, where nightclubs opening their doors are impressing Glass.
And when this all ends, unlike Daley, Assad will not have a popular mandate to rule; he is and will be a foreign-occupation-backed tyrant........
