The Guardian;Tears of joy and sadness as ‘disappeared’ Syrians emerge from Assad’s prisons;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/08/tears-of-joy-and-sadness-as-disappeared-syrians-emerge-from-assads-prisons;2024-12-08T19:29:15Z | As Syrian rebels led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) captured city after city on the road to Damascus, forcing Bashar al-Assad to flee the country, they also opened the doors of the regime’s notorious prisons, into which upwards of 100,000 people disappeared during nearly 14 years of civil war. Many emerged frail and emaciated into the bright December sunlight, greeted by weeping family members who had no idea they were still alive. Some struggled to comprehend that Assad was gone; a few held even longer had never even been told that he had succeeded his father, Hafez, who died in 2000. Verified videos from Damascus showed dozens of women and small children being held in cells, the rebels opening the doors telling them not to be afraid. The prisons infamous for torture in and around Damascus itself – including Sednaya, the most notorious, where satellite imagery showed a new crematorium was built in 2017 to dispose of bodies – were broken open early on Sunday. There are conflicting reports of underground cell blocks yet to be reached. The photos and videos of reunited families are bittersweet. The stories of the prisoners are astonishing; they will take years to be told in full, further grim evidence of the crimes the Assad family committed against so many of their own people. Al-Arabiya broadcast footage of a family arriving in Damascus to meet their released son, the elderly mother’s voice breaking with emotion as she embraced him for the first time in 14 years. Raghad al-Tatary, a pilot who refused to bomb the city of Hama during the uprising against Hafez al-Assad in the 1980s, was freed after 43 years; Tal al-Mallouhi, 19 when she was arrested in 2009 for a blogpost criticising state corruption, was found alive. One shaven-headed, shaking man in Sednaya had been so ill-treated he had lost his memory and struggled to talk. His family said he had been 20 and a medical student when he vanished 13 years ago. Thousands of protesters were arrested during the 2011 Arab spring revolution for speaking out against the government. Leaked documents showed the state security apparatus viewed imprisonment as a key way to crush dissent. As the war deepened, the vast network of security branches, detention centres and prisons grew notorious for their brutal torture methods, which rights groups said were applied on an industrial scale. Many Syrians were over the years brusquely informed by authorities that their relatives had been executed, sometimes years earlier. For many, there is still an agonising wait, hoping against the odds that loved ones will be found alive. At a large bus station in central Damascus, the activist Abdulkafi al-Hamdo, who fled Aleppo with his young family in 2016 for years in exile in Idlib, filmed himself meeting anxious families waiting for cars and buses that were dropping off freed prisoners on Sunday. One woman said her son was 18 when he was seized in 2012; she has not heard or seen anything of him since. “All these families here have a lot of fear in their hearts that their sons are dead,” she said. “Some of them have a small hope, a window of hope, that their children will be alive.” |
The Guardian;Syrian rebels enter Damascus: everything we know so far;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/08/syrian-rebels-enter-damascus-everything-we-know;2024-12-08T18:21:17Z | Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, has fallen and fled to Russia after rebel forces entered the capital Damascus, capping a stunning advance across the country in an extraordinary day for Syria. Here is everything we know so far: Reports in Russia have said Bashar al-Assad and family have been granted asylum in Moscow after Syrian anti-government rebels declared they had seized control of Damascus on Sunday, ending his family’s decades of autocratic rule after more than 13 years of civil war. Rebel commander Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, leader of Syria’s Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, visited Damascus’ landmark Umayyad Mosque on Sunday. He said in an earlier statement read on Syria’s state TV that “the future is ours”. He has reportedly said that all state institutions will remain under the supervision of al-Assad’s prime minister until they are handed over officially. UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Sunday praised the end of Syria’s “dictatorial regime” and called on the country to focus on rebuilding. “After 14 years of brutal war and the fall of the dictatorial regime, today the people of Syria can seize an historic opportunity to build a stable and peaceful future,” Guterres said in a statement. Footage shows the Damascus residence of Bashar al-Assad has been stormed and almost emptied by looters. There were reports earlier today that the Iranian embassy in Damascus was attacked. As armed rebels swept cities across Syria, they flung open detention facilities where rights groups estimated that at least 100,000 people were considered missing or forcibly disappeared since 2011 at the hands of the state. This included the Sednaya military prison, a facility notorious as the site of particularly brutal and humiliating methods of torture. Arab states will seek to avert the threat of a reignited Syrian civil war by starting an open dialogue with all the forces on the ground to ensure any transition is inclusive of all Syrians regardless of ethnicity, Qatar’s foreign ministry has said. In Europe, Spain’s foreign ministry has urged for there to be an “inclusive political transition” in Syria, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU would help to rebuild a Syria that safeguards minorities. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the collapse of the Assad regime “offers great opportunity”, but warned that it is also “fraught with significant dangers”, adding that he will “take action against possible threats (to Israel)”. Israel airstrikes were later reported against a major security complex in the Kafr Sousa district of Damascus, along with a research centre where it had previously said Iranian scientists developed missiles. The Pentagon has said the US will keep a presence in eastern Syria and take the appropriate steps to prevent a resurgence of the Islamic State. US president-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that Assad had “fled his country” after losing the backing of Russia. “Assad is gone,” he said on his Truth Social platform. “His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer.” Iraq has reportedly evacuated its embassy in Syria and moved staff to Lebanon, hours after rebels overthrew Assad and took control of the capital. Reasons behind the evacuation were not made public Syria’s White Helmets civil defence forces has released a statement about the extraordinary events of the past few days. “The sun of freedom rises on the Syrians... the moment that has been long awaited for years... even decades... Syria, the homeland, is writing history today,” the group said in a video statement posted on X. |
The Guardian;Keir Starmer welcomes collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s ‘barbaric regime’;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/08/angela-rayner-says-she-welcomes-fall-of-syrian-president-bashar-al-assad;2024-12-08T17:39:05Z | Keir Starmer has welcomed the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s “barbaric regime” in Syria and called for civilians to be protected after rebel forces took control of Damascus. In a statement hours before his first trip to the Middle East, the prime minister said the developments in Syria were “unprecedented” and called for a political solution to the vacuum in power. “The Syrian people have suffered under Assad’s barbaric regime for too long and we welcome his departure,” Starmer said. “Our focus is now on ensuring a political solution prevails and peace and stability is restored.” He called on all sides to protect civilians and minorities and to ensure aid can reach the most vulnerable, and said the UK government was speaking to its partners in the region. Starmer was due to fly to the Gulf on Sunday night. He will meet the UAE president, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, on Monday before travelling to Saudi Arabia for talks with its Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The meetings are sure to touch on the political situation in Syria after Assad, who has waged a bloody war against his people since a rebellion against him 13 years ago, was unexpectedly ousted by a lightning rebel offensive. “If Assad’s regime has fallen I welcome that news,” Angela Rayner, the deputy prime minister, told Sky News’s Trevor Phillips earlier on Sunday. “What we need to see is a political resolution in line with the UN resolutions. We need to see civilians and infrastructure protected. Far too many people have lost their lives; we need stability in that region.” Rayner said the government had been working to evacuate British citizens from Syria over the weekend and would continue to support them. Russia, a staunch ally of Assad, issued a statement confirming that he had left office and the country. The leading insurgent group in Syria is Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK on the basis that it was an alternative name for al-Qaida. It is also designated as a terrorist organisation by the UN. The developments prompted fresh scrutiny of Labour’s decision under Ed Miliband to oppose British military intervention against Assad’s regime in 2013. A stunned David Cameron ruled out British involvement in Syria after losing a Commons vote by 13 votes. David Taylor, the Labour MP for Hemel Hempstead and a former charity worker, said on X that “from 2013 this has been a truly shameful chapter in our party’s history and should never be allowed to happen again”. Taylor told the Guardian: “For many years I supported Syrian activists in the UK in calling for a no-fly zone to protect Syrians from Assad and Putin, as Jo Cox did, and I’m convinced that if we’d done that half a million people would still be alive. It’s well documented that [Jeremy] Corbyn and co spent more energy casting doubt on whether chemical weapons were being used than on ways to protect civilians. I’m glad our party has moved on from this period.” Asked about Miliband’s decision in 2013, Rayner told Times Radio: “Parliament decided and that’s the right way. We have a democratic process in the UK … I think what we’ve got to do is focus on how we take stability forward in the region.” In 2015, Jeremy Corbyn opposed Cameron’s proposed airstrikes against Islamic State in Syria but gave Labour MPs a free vote to prevent a mass revolt. The Commons overwhelmingly backed the action after 66 Labour MPs sided with Cameron’s government. Ben Bradshaw, a former Labour foreign minister who stepped down as an MP this year, said on X that Labour “opposing Cameron’s motion in August 2015 was a shameful moment in our party’s history and one [we] must never repeat”. Starmer and Rayner both voted against the strikes, despite Labour MPs having a free vote. A total of 11 members of the shadow cabinet voted in favour, including the then shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn. The now home secretary, Yvette Cooper; the transport secretary, Heidi Alexander; the science secretary, Peter Kyle; the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson; the chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, Pat McFadden; and the Commons leader, Lucy Powell, all backed Cameron’s airstrikes in 2015. John Sawers, a former head of MI6, said the government should review its proscription of HTS because it had cut ties with al-Qaida over the past decade. Sawers argued it would be “rather ridiculous” not to be able to engage with the rebels who had taken control of Syria because of the group’s proscription. “I think Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader, has made great efforts over the last 10 years to distance himself from those terrorist groups and certainly the actions we’ve seen of Tahrir al-Sham over the last two weeks has been those of a liberation movement, not of a terrorist organisation,” Sawers told Sky News. “So, I think the home secretary will be asking MI5 and the joint terrorism assessment centre for a review of the situation about Tahrir al-Sham and whether it should remain on the proscribed entity list.” The Home Office said it recognised that HTS’s relationship with al-Qaida had changed, as there had been a “splintering between the two organisations”. A spokesperson for the department said the government did not routinely comment on whether a group was “being considered for proscription or deproscription”. “The situation on the ground in Syria is very fluid,” they added. “The priority must be the safety of Syrian civilians and securing a political solution to the unfolding events.” Priti Patel, the shadow foreign secretary, said the Conservatives wanted to see the “right kind of outcome, put the Syrian people first, but also look at the sort of governance structures that could occupy Syria going forward”. |
The Guardian;Arab states will talk to all forces in Syria to prevent reignition of war, says Qatar;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/08/arab-states-will-talk-to-all-forces-in-syria-to-prevent-reignition-of-war-says-qatar;2024-12-08T17:33:50Z | Qatar has said Arab states will seek to avert the threat of a reignited Syrian civil war by starting an open dialogue with all the forces on the ground, as the Turkish foreign minister said the formation of a new inclusive government in Damascus would allow millions of refugees to return home. Both countries were backers of the Syrian opposition in the civil war that began in 2011, and they are likely to have a key role in aspects of Syria’s future. Qatar’s foreign affairs ministry spokesperson, Majed al-Ansari, said Arab leaders meeting this weekend in Doha were “thankful for the very limited fighting” that preceded Bashar al-Assad’s overthrow. “It makes it easier for international actors to go in and start engaging before any fighting might erupt amongst the parties on the ground,” he said. “No one group, no one party or sect should feel unsafe or excluded in the future of Syria.” The Turkish foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, called on the international community to support Syrians and said a new administration must be established in an orderly manner. “The principle of inclusiveness must never be compromised,” he said. “It is time to unite and reconstruct the country.” Turkey, which hosts more than 2 million Syrian refugees, has emerged as the biggest external beneficiary of Assad’s fall, though there are fears about the destabilising potential of fighting between Turkish-backed forces and US-backed Syrian Kurds. Russia, which has a military and naval base in Syria, has been dealt a severe blow, as has Iran, which operated in Syria for 14 years as Assad’s military enforcer and ideological support. The UN special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, often a disempowered figure in the past few years, faces the delicate task of helping to forge a transitional government and will have to navigate regional powers that hope they can maintain influence. Arab diplomats are eager to avoid the mistake made in Iraq in 2003, when many senior officials in the Iraqi bureaucracy were dismissed, leaving no interim administration. The opposition forces’ decision to allow the Syrian prime minister, Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali, to remain in place is seen as vital to stability. Pedersen suggested that the main group involved in ousting Assad, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), would not immediately lose its UN designation as a terrorist group, meaning recognition would be “a challenge and remain a work in progress”. Diplomats are hoping that HTS, with roots in al-Qaida that it has previously disavowed, will sidestep the issue by simply dissolving itself and forming a new political organisation that renounces terrorism. HTS was seen in its base in Idlib, northern Syria, as autocratic and fiercely repressing dissent and free media, but Ansari said Qatar believed the group should not be prejudged and it had so far behaved in a mature way since it began its assault on Assad-held cities last month. “We are hopeful they will be a reasonable and rational player in the future,” he said in Doha, but added that military forces needed to be “orchestrated” in the coming weeks to avoid fighting between them. Admitting that the crisis could become reminiscent of other failed Arab spring revolutions in countries such as Libya, Ansari said: “There is a tendency in the region for good news to turn into bad news. We would love to see a transition to a viable state that embodies the sacrifices of the Syrian people. We also know realistically that there are a lot of challenges. There are a lot of militants on the ground and there is a possibility of Syria becoming a failed state. “No one can claim right now to know who has military superiority. We do not know the state of the Syrian national army.” Qatar did not join other Arab states in recognising Assad and hosts a Syrian opposition group in Doha. It may play a key role in mediating issues such as the future of the Russian bases and relations between the Syrian Kurds and Turkey. Fidan said in a press conference in Doha that the Syrian people were not in a position to rebuild on their own, and that international actors and regional powers would have to act with prudence and preserve the country’s territorial integrity. He said Ankara was concerned that Islamic State “and other terrorist organisations … will take advantage of this process”. He did not identify HTS as a terrorist group, but the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) rebels have been involved in clashes with the Kurdish-led and US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The SNA called for “the terrorist SDF militia to lay down their arms and spare the dark fate that awaits them”. In Aleppo, where SDF troops have held the Kurdish neighbourhoods throughout the civil war, the HTS negotiated its peaceful departure from the city, weapons still in hand. Ankara views Syria’s autonomous Kurdish regions as a creation and extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ party (PKK), a group that has for years fought for Kurdish self-rule and is banned in Turkey as a terrorist organisation. Asked about Assad’s whereabouts, Fidan said he was unable to comment on the issue but that he believed he was out of the country. He also said Turkey had had no contact with Assad despite a call from the country’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to hold normalisation talks. The UN secretary general, António Guterres, hailed the end of Syria’s “dictatorial regime”. “Today the people of Syria can seize an historic opportunity to build a peaceful and stable future,” he said. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said Assad’s fall was a direct result of the blows Israel had struck to his allies in Hezbollah and Iran. The French president, Emmanuel Macron, said “the barbaric state has fallen” and paid tribute to the Syrian people. Pedersen said: “To those displaced, this moment renews the vision of returning to homes once lost. To families separated by war, the beginnings of reunions bring hope. To those unjustly detained, and the families of the detained and the missing, the opening of prison doors reminds us of justice’s eventual reach. “The challenges ahead remain immense and we hear those who are anxious and apprehensive. Yet this is a moment to embrace the possibility of renewal. The resilience of the Syrian people offers a path toward a united and peaceful Syria.” |
