I am from the UAE and I strongly believe that internal
affairs and domestic problems in any Nation-State should be resolved
domestically with respect to the UN Charter independence declaration with no
interference from other Nation-States. However Lately on the news we have been
hearing a lot of the killings in Syria. Who is the hero and who is the evil nemesis
is a point that can be up for debate but we can all agree on the fact that
killing innocent civilian is WRONG and ethically violates every sense of
humanity. The souls and life of civilian is so cheap that killing off thousands
without differentiation to whether they are involved in the pity combat to
power is wildly spread. The lately Houla Massacre just proves the point where
the Assad regime Killed more than 90
people, including 32 children. I can’t seem to get a believable excuse to why
were the 32 children killed, it’s far likely that any of them were attacking
the Alawites in power, kids don’t really care about power, money and religion,
all they care about is love, food and playtime.
A chorus of
international NGO’S as well as international organizations and Nation-States
have all condemned the attacks and killing of civilians and children, however
condemning alone will never solve this civil war in Syria. The whole
complication is hard to comprehend for we foreigners to the State of Syria do
not understand their deeply rooted heritage, belief systems and culture. Therefore
taking sides is not doing them justice as the whole fight is a result of
political power struggle. As brothers in humanity however something needs to be
done to stop these killings without interfering in the internal affairs of the
Syrian politics.
That being said is it possible to really stop
the killing in Syria using international force without interfering in Syria’s
internal affair?? For from previous experiences this has never happened and any
international interference has always brought in more complications to whether
who benefits their Nation-State leaving the best interest of the Land and its inhabitant
as the least important point when making decisions on an international level.
