On the day of the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq on 2nd August 1990, BBC in its early morning news bulletin asked very loudly and of course sarcastically thus: “where is Arab League gone? Where is OIC gone? Where is GCC gone??” These organisations are formed to protect the member nations but when Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded Kuwait the strength of all these Arab and Islamic organisations came to Zero value, all these organisations turned out to be impotent to avoid and to stop the invasion of Kuwait which is the member like Iraq of Arab League and OIC. It gave an impression that Saddam Hussein said “go to hell with all these organisations, I will do what I want to do” and he did it by invading Kuwait against the principles of all these organisations.
In Arab and Islamic Syria what is happening now is really sickening. The official Syrian forces and Syrian militias owing allegiance to Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad with full liberty are killing innocent unarmed Syrians including children, aged and pregnants. Assad and his government are become immune to the saner voices coming from all around the globe including that of Kofi Anan who is so tirelessly trying to bring about peace there. Kofi Anan’s mission is backed by the UN and other Arabs but up to now no solution is visible. Assad is acting as hard as rock, he is hell bent to eradicate any opposition to his regime from his opponents.
In view of this brutality going on in Syria I feel like asking the way BBC asked earlier: “Where is Arab League gone? Where is OIC gone now? What these organisations are doing to avert and stop the massacre going on in Syria? These two organisations are formed to solve the problems in Arab countries and OIC members. It looks like the imperative need is come for the involvement of Western Christian powers to enter directly in Syria to stop Al-Assad from killing his own people.
There was a time when Arabs were mercilessly killed by the Jewish Israelites. Now in Syria you don’t need Jews to kill Arabs but Arabs themselves are killing their own Arab brothers and sisters. Assad must know that for everything has got a point of saturation and this point of saturation for Assad’s might will surely come either today or tomorrow. How long Assad will kill his own people and how many numbers? Will he survive to eradicate by liquidating the entire opposition from Syria? Assad will have to surrender to the mighty will of the mighty opposition of Syrians who are all out to dethrone him.
We saw recently how Husni Mubarak in Egypt surrendered and now sentenced by the official Egyptian judiciary for life. We saw how in Libya Ghaddafi’s end came so miserably. We saw how in Tunisia people’s power revolted against its own arrogant president. In Syria I am sure Assad will face the same fate as that of Ghaddafi and Mubarak. Or worst still he may face the fate of Marie Antoinette. It is only the question of time.
While the entire world in unison raised its voice against the barbarity of Assad’s regime against his own people, regretfully it is only the two powers Russia and China that are siding with brute Syrian regime under Assad. Russia and China are both communists countries that have no sympathy for the massacred Syrians because both these countries like Syria are also blood thirsty of their own citizens. Both these two atomic powers always side with the brute leaders.
Even during the time of invasion of Kuwait both Russia and China like deaf and blind abstained from voting in the UN in support of Kuwait’s liberation. No doubt they both refused to support invasion of Kuwait but they abstained from voting in the UN to punish Iraq. It is a pity that such powerful nations refrained from expressing their opinions openly against Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and condemning it.
By siding with Syria, both Russia and China are siding with the criminals of Assad regime. Russia in particular has got a very dirty habit of supporting the wrong doers. During the decisive motion in the UN at the time of Goa’s invasion by Bharat of Nehru, Russia sided with the invaders of Goa though Russia barked like dog saying they are supporting the liberation movement.
In Goa’s case Russia supported Bharat that unlawfully invaded Goa in the name of liberation. Goa in December 1961 was not liberated but recolonized by Bharat and turned it into a worst place for Goans to live a peaceful life. If Russia was the real supporter of the liberation movement then it would not support invasion of Goa by Bharat against the wishes of Goans. I can rightly say Russia like China is the promoter and supporter of arrogant regimes that suppress freedom of the people just as what Syria is doing under its president Bashar Al–Assad..
