REUTERS - France's foreign minister said on Monday Syria and Russia must stop what he called military operations against civilians and in particular put an end to suffering in the besieged city of Madaya just two weeks before peace talks are scheduled.

Laurent Fabius said images coming out of Madaya, where aid agencies have warned of widespread starvation, showed President Bashar Assad could not remain in power. He said Paris would consult the UN Security Council to press Syria to end what he described as indiscriminate attacks.
"We discussed the absolute necessity that Syria and Russia end their military operations against civilians and in particular the ordeal in Madaya and other cities besieged by the regime," Fabius told reporters after meeting Syrian opposition coordinator Riad Hijab.

"It shows how much the Bashar Assad regime ... for moral and efficiency purposes cannot be the future of Syria and also at the same time that the Russians do not undertake such inadmissible actions."
Russia denies any targeting of civilians.

Aid convoys were due to simultaneously enter rebel-held Madaya, which has been blockaded for months by pro-government forces, and al Foua and Kefraya in Idlib province, which are encircled by insurgents.
Fabius had earlier met Hijab, a former prime minister under Assad, who defected in 2012. He was elected in December as coordinator of the opposition negotiating body to lead future Syria talks.

The talks are scheduled to be held between the government and opposition on January 25 under the auspices of the United Nations. However, opposition officials have cast doubt on whether the talks will go ahead on schedule, citing a need to see goodwill measures from the government side."

"There must be two elements (to these talks). On the one hand the immediate end of bombardments and on the other hand that the agenda of these negotiations are sufficiently precise and there is no doubt in particular over who will govern."

shut up, socialist liberal scum

 

[airmarshal]

Shouldnt France just shut up!!

On whose behalf it has been bombing Syria and Libya before it?

Do NATO's bombs not kill? Or are they flower bursts dropped from fighter jets?

NATO has destroyed Syrian infrastructure. They have been aiding terrorists. It hurts NATO very bad that someone is fighting on Syrian govt behalf.

French have just updating their language, Paris bulletin might have been misinterpreted.

Against Syrian 'civilians'? Civilians who are armed to teeth, happen to have tanks, artillery, anti-Armor missiles, all kinds of small and medium sized weapons and million of dollars of money from countries like KSA, Qatar and Turkey. The same 'civilians' that NATO is fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, but supports in Syria?
When it comes to Syria, France (and others with similar views) can go screw themselves, simple as that. That scumbag didn't blink an eye when thousands of civilians were besieged and bombed by terrorists in Nubl and Zahra (the siege ended 3 days ago in a successful operation) and 40,000 civilians being besieged, bombed and refused to leave in Fuaa and Kafraya. So yes Mr. Fabius, you can literally go screw yourself. The last thing you guys can brag about is how you care about civilian lives.

Let's all take a look at what France and NATO did in Libya and tell them to simply shut their mouth. Neither U.S, nor UK or France are not in any position to shed crocodile tears on civilian casualties. You propped up terrorists in Syria to topple its gov, now seat back and watch them getting killed.

UN voted a revolution which states that 'all able states should join the fight against Islamic state in Syria and Iraq'
The council resolution 'calls upon member states that have the capacity to do so to take all necessary measures ... on the territory under the control of Isil'

The airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq are justified you want it or not.

Sure we destroyed Syria's infrastructures..... We bombed entire neighborhoods,carpet bombed entire cities,starved killed etc.
I agree though that we shouldn't have supplied weapons to any sides.

we drop smart bombs, Russia drops just dumb/foolish bombs.

Huh.....ok jokes aside, France,U.S and U.K are right in calling for a halt(at least a temporary one) to airstrikes/fighting until the ongoing talks in Geneva are over. You cant be engaged in talks of good faith while increasing fighting even more. They could have at least maintain a ceasefire while negotiations go on.

if you really believe this war/conflict can be solved just militarily, then i must say you are naive. What France(like Britain and U.S) are saying is that Russia and its little Syrian/Iranian minions should have halt any further fighting/offensive against rebel held cities/stronghold while the talks are underway. The fact that they didn't do this but instead increase their offensive shows they had no intention of seating down and negotiate for a potential end to this crisis/civil war.
IF Russia and its Syrian/Iranian minions think they can put an end to this conflict/war just by military means then they are dreaming.
They will soon realize that this war will go on forever as far as they keep thinking military might is the only solution to end this conflict. Concessions(no matter how difficult they may be) have to be made by both sides.

LOL You are right, The Ayatollahs have done a great job indoctrinating some of its people in this regard, much like Kim Dynasty in N.Korea.
huh......I wonder why the holy saint Mullahs are even travelling to the great Satan and axis of evil West while seating down the negotiating table with devils, and most of all they are now spending billions of their hard earn(more like oil earn. lol ) cash buying the devil's equipment, airplanes etc.

Believe me bro, if there are any minions here, it's France and UK who are simply U.S pawns, especially in most of issues concerned with ME.

No one said Syrian case will be solved only through military means, but when certain countries are constantly providing arms, money and shelter to terrorists, you will have to continue the fight until last one of them is dead. Also, it's not like terrorists had stopped fighting during talks, they launched offensives in Hama, Latakia and Aleppo, but they were simply overwhelmed and started bitching around in talks.

Guess Iran should teach us how to properly equip and finance successfully 'terrorist groups'.... Something you aren't amateurs at....

Sometimes, your terrorists are our freedom fighters, and vice versa. So no need to beat yourself up over it, this argument won't go anywhere.
