CRISIS IN SYRIA - War Criminal Assad's Idlib Offensive

"Assad’s Idlib offensive drives nearly 1 million from their homes — and into the cold" PBS NewsHour 2/18/2020

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  In Syria, only one pocket of resistance to the Assad regime remains, in Idlib province.  But since late last year, Assad’s military has been relentlessly attacking the region, and now, nearly a million people have been forced from their homes in the freezing cold.  In a war defined by displacement, this is the largest movement of people in the entire years-long conflict.  Nick Schifrin reports.

LAST BASTION - Syrian Idlib Province

"Idlib’s ‘relentless’ onslaught vs. northeastern Syria’s ‘fragile stability’" PBS NewsHour 6/14/2019

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  In northwest Syria, Idlib province -- the final stronghold of opponents of the Assad regime -- is under relentless attack, and a source of tension between Syria and Turkey.  Land liberated by the U.S. and its Kurdish allies in northeast Syria [Ar Raqqah] faces a very different situation.  Nick Schifrin talks to Gayle Tzemach Lemmon of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Hassan Hassan of the Center for Global Policy.
