American website: Washington's coercive measures against Syria are a crime against humanity

Washington-SANA

The American World Socialist website described the coercive unilateral measures imposed by the United States against Syria as amounting to a crime against humanity, stressing that these measures and the American occupation forces present on Syrian territory prevent the arrival of relief materials necessary to save the victims, and to confront the repercussions of the devastating earthquake that struck the country at dawn. last Monday.

The site said in the context of an article by the American writer Bill Van Oken: that at a time when Syria is trying to rescue dozens of victims from under the rubble of the earthquake, the presence of the American occupation forces and coercive measures hinders the arrival of relief materials necessary for rescue operations.

The site indicated that the United States targets the Syrian state and people, and strangles the country's economy with its coercive measures and the presence of its military forces illegally and outside the framework of the United Nations and international laws, thereby increasing the suffering of the Syrians, indicating that Washington will take advantage of the earthquake to complete its goals and objectives.

The site stated that the goal behind the presence of the American occupation forces is to loot the Syrian oil and gas fields, seize their wealth and deprive the Syrians of them, stressing that this goal is inseparable from the unilateral measures that include the so-called American “Caesar Act”, and it prevents any party in the world from helping Syria, and this in itself is targeting the Syrians in their lives and livelihood.

In addition to the theft of Syrian energy resources, the mission of the American occupation forces also includes, as confirmed by the site, the control of the strategic border crossings, and this in itself impedes the arrival of rescue teams and relief materials to Syria, indicating that the United States is still four years after the end of ISIS. The terrorist invokes the lie of combating terrorism to continue the illegal presence of its forces in Syria and the plundering of Syrian oil.

After increasing international calls to lift the blockade on Syria, especially in the aftermath of the humanitarian catastrophe that befell the country as a result of the devastating earthquake, the US administration issued a new misleading decision providing for a partial and temporary freeze of some of the unilateral and lethal coercive measures it imposes on the Syrian people, as Syria affirmed that this decision is not It is nothing but a duplicate of previous sham decisions aimed at giving a false human impression, as it stipulated alleged exceptions for humanitarian purposes and none of the facts proved their falsity.
