Several buses sent to transport the sick and injured from two government-held villages in Syria's Idlib province have been burned by rebels. It has thrown the latest efforts to evacuate besieged areas into doubt. Pro-government forces say people must be allowed to leave the mainly Shia villages of Foah and Kefraya for the evacuation of east Aleppo to restart. State media said convoys had begun to leave Aleppo on Sunday but other reports said they had turned back. The initial plan to evacuate the last rebel-held enclaves in the city collapsed on Friday, leaving civilians stranded at various points along the route out without access to food or shelter.

How is it that I'm so fortunate to have been born HERE and not THERE or any of the other places where this type of atrocity happens daily??

Our ancestors had the foresight to leave the old world behind.

They were probably trying to "evacuate" to England

In fairness, we're not supporting them very much. But in the triumvirate of them, ISIS, and Assad, I suppose they are the lesser of three legit evils.

The rebels don't want them to leave. Just like how Hamas and others in Palestine hide their rockets in neighborhoods, the rebels know the civilians make it much more difficult for the Syrian government and the Russians to target them without inflicting mass collateral damage which is a political liability. They are shite people as well. This is why we have no place there supporting any faction. None of them share our values or respect for innocent life.

Would you support a murderous dictator who gases his own people?
If he were secular and westernized? I say at this point the answer is yes. The reason we decided that we did not want to support him anymore was because Russia decided to support him. It was a tactical mistake

It doesn't seem like Assad cares too much about others opinions.

Yeah, these sick and injured people only have one thing on their mind... England. Did you not see where sick children were being picked off yesterday as they tried to hide? I don't know how anyone can be so heartless.

I'd welcome the children here and any Christian refugees. And it's a shame it has to be this way, but I don't want adult Muslims brought over here. If they'd convert out of that mindless barbaric religion they'd have more options.
