I wake up in nightmares like from time to time, I worked yesterday with young people who saw their friends die, it wakes up things ... internet seems to came back ... A message that I think important, I am tired and disgusted by this continuous manipulation, of these lies and - or half-truths that you are thrust into the skull subtly or aggressively but in a very controlled way ... again, without pretention, you do what you want with this message which is only the continuity of what I have always published and that I assume. I have nothing to win again, we will probably continue to shoot me in the legs I guess ... but I only transmit what I have personally experienced, as testimonies of people who have the courage to share their story, denounce, show their faces
You know the difference between people who are living in terrorist zones and those who are living in a government zone (which represents 80% of Syria) is that here in gov areas nobody has a camera crew that follows those who save people under the hundreds of mortars, no high tech equipment made available by foreign press agencies, satellite networks by Turkey, networks of activists or millions of gov funding to ensure minute-by-minute coverage of events, ... here the Mortars fall, you run, you help people, you pick up the pieces, you cover the bodies, the families cry just as much, people die just as much. Here people don't do activism, people are just trying to survive and the real people of East Aleppo as Idlib or elsewhere also, they do not want to continue to put oil on the fire and simply wants that this shit stops on one side or the other, especially the other. I honestly would say that Syria in general has been covered by this black smoke to un-allow people to see through except from a certain point of view, life has been erased on one side here, and on the other hand the suffering of the people is being instrumental in giving you 1/4 of images, in decontextualizing situations, by continually staging and cropping the images, selling the war through perception effects.
The suffering is real, those who know the war, whether it's rockets or bombs planes, know what that means, ... the real problem is to understand that, without terrorists, as for Aleppo, people would live in peace. You are sold a revolution for freedom, against oppression, and if indeed there are many people who have experienced unfair things and who hate the government as in any country at different levels, the majority you will laugh when you come to tell them that your "rebels" come to bring them freedom, besides a large number if not the majority of "fighters" are foreign mercenaries, what are Chechens, Uighurs, Afghans, Sudaneses, Tunisians (not to mention the thousands of Europeans) etc. have to do with this country? Billions of $ of weapons provided to terrorists who have been given the financial means - military - political, including France, to destroy the country, to massacre the population, the Syrian army, ... for example I see the headlines of the newspapers on "Idlib" about these heroes, the « White Helmets » ... you do not have the slightest idea of ​​the truth, of what Idlib represents today to know the biggest terrorist area, dozens of groups including Daesh fighting side by side with the so called FSA at the moment to keep their area ... besides, strangely each of these groups is identified in France as a "terrorist organization", here they are called "rebels", easy.
I would not dare to publish everything that I have published if I had the slightest doubt, anything I published is issued from my personal experience, what I lived and only (you never saw me publishing any geopolitic bullshit), exchanges with dozens of families who have lived here or with terrorists every day until liberation ... I write a lot, I'm not necessarily clear but I'm honest and neutral as surprising it may be for those who are infused with anti-Syrian anti-government propaganda to legitimize this war ... I am probably charging with real bullet the weapons of people who refuse me the right to share what we have lived, a dissonant voice but also what families are testifying ... but I swear to you that if you believe that behind all this propaganda, even if once again there is neither all black nor white, that we will silence this part of history, the numerous and indispensable pieces of puzzle from this conflict far too complicated to dissect but dealing with facts, experiences ... no. I invite you to don’t believe me again ... but at the condition that you stop believing all that is published and told by whoever medias or Syrians with a purpose, to stop to swallow it greedily and blindly. I simply invite everyone to develop their skepticism, to take a step back ... time will speak, I hope
