Delivering the humanitarian aid (food, water and medicine supplies) to rebel-held areas in Homs has been interrupted following the clashes between the Syrian force and the rebels. Both sides blame each other for breaking the ceasefire.
In some previous short notes, i had anticipated such a event and i warned that the UN should think about the negative consequences of this evacuation. I knew that this event would facilitate a good opportunity for Assad's regime to crush the rebel-held areas in Homs with full cruelty and atrocity. However, as it appears, the UN is on hibernation mode and don't pay attention to overall consequences of its move. Through this operation the UN has managed to evacuate 80 people from Homs and at the same time it has maximized the vulnerability of those, who remain in the city. Moreover, we should remember that we don't have any guarantee about the future safety of these 80 civilians, which have been evacuated from Homs.
Once again, i emphasize on an important issue with regard to the Syrian civil war. Every efforts in Syria, no matter is about delivering the humanitarian aid, implementing a temporary truce or shipping out the chemical arsenal from the country, should be performed, observed and followed by impartial presence of the UN peacekeeping force on the ground in Syria; otherwise, that operation would not be fulfilled in an appropriate and comprehensive manner. We should have learned an important lesson from the last three years experience that Assad's Regime cannot be trusted.
