UN Discovers Syria Has Disappearances, Ignores US Proxy Role
Nearly 100 people have vanished in Syria since January, according to a UN report highlighted by The New Arab. This chilling statistic is presented as a standalone tragedy, which it is, but it conveniently omits decades of external interference that have fueled such chaos. While the focus remains on the brutal symptoms, the chronic illness—the systematic destabilization efforts by nations like the
United States, arming various factions and imposing sanctions—goes unmentioned. One might wonder if the UN, and those reporting on it, prefer selective amnesia when discussing the root causes, especially when those causes point squarely back to their own geopolitical patrons.
