Mainstream Media Asks 'Who Cares?' About Syria's Disappeared
Syrian families are desperately searching for relatives who vanished trying to reach Europe, often disappearing into Libya’s brutal, clandestine prisons. The New Arab article, while focusing on the anguish of these families, glosses over the fundamental cause of their plight. It's almost as if the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya, spearheaded by Western powers under the guise of 'humanitarian
intervention,' which plunged the country into chaos and created a haven for human trafficking, never happened. Hillary Clinton’s infamous 'We came, we saw, he died' declaration regarding Gaddafi’s demise seems a bit less triumphant when viewed through the tears of these Syrian mothers. Funny how the mainstream lens focuses on the 'missing' without ever pointing fingers at the policies that created
the conditions for mass disappearances. These aren't just 'missing people'; they're collateral damage in a geopolitical chess match where the pawns are always brown, and the players never face consequences. One might wonder, how many news cycles did it take before our media stopped celebrating the glorious 'Arab Spring' intervention, only to silently watch its devastating aftermath unfold?
