The spine-chilling chemical attacks earlier this April, that left Syria dead in scores was a gross infringement of the International Law as well as an intense show of recalcitrance to the world leaders. This disturbing attack showed no less than 100 civilians the fate of death in Syria’s revolted area of Idlib and left another 400 experiencing respiratory issues. There were some exasperating pictures and videos that ran through the social media and networking sites demonstrating casualties with froth around their mouth, and naked kids squirming on the floor. The alleged attack was accepted to be purported by the Syrian government aircrafts disrupting outrage and shock over the constantly expanding government shown in the six-year war. The population of Idlib has expanded, with a huge number of people and fighters carried out of the Aleppo city and Damascus that the Syrian government has retaken in the recent times.

The attack in Ghouta close to Damascus on 21 August, 2013 is viewed as the first major and the most deadly chemical attack since Saddam Hussein gassed the Iraqi Kurds in 1988 slaying a huge number of people. Assad at that time negated all the allegations and claimed himself to be blameless, however, he failed to furnish any cogent or convincing incidental proof and thereby failed to establish any another persuading hypothesis. Nevertheless, Assad declines to move and his star partner in Moscow has upheld him to the handle against the agitators and this indeed hints no change. This attracted a broad condemnation, however, the world community’s reaction led only a short-lived dependable impact against Assad’s barbarities. U.S.A and Russia concluded an arrangement soon thereafter to crush Syria’s chemical weapons. In this way, the UNSC’s resolutions looking to consider the perpetrators in Syria responsible have been vetoed by China and Russia.

Witnesses to this attack reported that the Syrian warplanes bombed Khan Sheikhoun, around 50kms south of Idlib, when almost everyone was sleeping. One of the witnesses stated that “The blast sent a yellow mushroom cloud into the air that stung her eyes.” It resembled a winter haze. The source to this is yet not clear, but rather it is presumed that the warplanes had focused on clinics and the Syria Civil Defense headquarters. As per some of the doctors and the specialists, nerve agent Sarin, known as isopropyl methy-phosphonic acid, had been traced in the blood of the victims. Hundreds of people showed symptoms in conformity with Sarin, after what the West said was a Syrian government air strike in the region.
Despite of all this, the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claims that the whole episode was concocted without any proof. The same authority which repudiated the weapons about four years back after an expansive chemical attack which was steered by its forces, denied that the military had been capable, as he has each and every time when chemical weapons have been utilized as a part of Syria. Syrian military have targeted insurgents for obligation and said they had blamed the armed force for utilizing lethal weapons each time they neglect to accomplish the objectives of their supporters. The military has likewise denied any charges that the government had used weapons, rejecting the records as revolt propaganda.
The Ministry in Syria said that the chemical weapons had additionally been used amid the last phases of the fight for control of the city of Aleppo, drawing that the side effects of the casualties were essentially the same. US agencies are assertive regarding the fact that the Syrian government struck Khan Sheikhoun as a retaliation of a revolt in the Hama province. They likewise are of the view that Assad’s government is in charge of this extraordinarily grotesque incident, and have therefore issued furious condemnations. French agencies have reportedly said that Syria is not sure to have the ability to utilize a neurotoxic agent or the air force that is required for such an attack. Similarly, a report by the Human Rights Watch provides that the physical remainders of the weapon used, and the medicinal side effects are shown by the casualties as recorded by the doctors and the staff, goes to show that it was a state-supported attack.

This ghastly occurrence was no fortuitous event as the assault additionally hosted the peace talks that were taken by the United Nations in Geneva and by Russia and Turkey in Astana, Kazakhstan.
This is a piece of a more extensive example we’ve seen all through the Syrian government is willing to adopt any technique of warfare for the purpose of fighting against their own kin. The continuing failure and inability at the international level to adequately address Assad’s atrocities and to uphold punitive and correctional actions has made a culture of exemption in Syria. Incidents like these will continue to precede the length where there is no equity and responsibility. We’re currently into the seventh year of this contention, and there has been no concrete reaction to the transgressions we’re seeing every day for quite a while. I think Syria is aware of that fact, and they are essentially pushing the limits. I wish to hold the view that this was intended to be some sort of a message to the EU, by the Syrian government that they won’t offer any bargains, and if there is anything to be done in Syria, that would be solely based on its terms.

These death tolls are an indication of the knottiness of the battle against ISIS, which is yet the agenda of the western military. Everyone should adhere to their obligations notwithstanding such barbaric activities that distort the international peace and security. Westerners must collaborate with combating groups who have advanced training. One ought to consider it as a top priority that if the revolutionaries commit the attack, then the U.S. could really make a move considering America and its partners effectively bolster them. Pulling back support from them would give a fall back to their strategies and would add to Syria’s wellbeing and security. That is not the point of, however, the reason being from the razzmatazz that the media is offering it is not difficult to conclude that media’s definitive and most crucial focus on this story is to collect support for further war and slaughter in the Middle East and nothing less than that.
