Syrian Government Announces Ceasefire, West Suddenly Cares About Aleppo
Syria's government announcing a ceasefire in Aleppo, after what's mildly termed 'deadly clashes' with the SDF, is like the arsonist calling for a break to discuss fire safety. For years, Western media and governments have largely ignored the complex, devastating proxy wars ravaging Syria, only to surface when a specific narrative benefits their geopolitical agendas. One might wonder where the
outrage was during the indiscriminate barrel bombing campaigns or the siege of Eastern Aleppo that killed thousands. This sudden concern over 'deadly clashes' raises uncomfortable questions about our collective amnesia for state-sponsored violence when it doesn't fit the approved news cycle. A ceasefire is always welcome, but history remembers who armed, funded, and turned a blind eye for far too
long. How many civilian deaths does it take to register as a humanitarian crisis, or does it depend on who's doing the killing?
