The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented more than 740 civilians killed in the coastal cities of Latakia, Jableh and Banias and a further 300 members of the security forces and remnants of the Assad regime are also reported to have died in clashes, according to BBC. The areas in which civilians were killed are predominantly Alawite. The Assads were Alawites and protected them. Bashar Al Assad was also an ally of Putin and protected by him.

@kajakallas

is EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Her silence on the slaughter of civilians, even if they were once protected by, or may even have supported, leaders she doesn’t like is a failure on her part, one that lowers the EU (further) on the world stage.
