Idlib province has been repeatedly very much targeted with cluster bombs causing massive destruction and victims of innocent armed lees civilians.
Despite the international agreement about the cluster bombs in 1988 which banned the use, production, storing and transporting cluster missiles. The members of this convention a obliged by to take specific procedures to guarantee these weapons will not claim more lives in the future.. for sure Syria is not included in this agreement.
The agreement comes to be applied in 2010 after 113 countries have ratified it. However, we do not see in this agreement only Assad’s regime and his ally Russia losing international legitimacy and human rights.
Abo-Omar, who is aged 34 years revealed the horrific massacres committed against his city Khan-sheikhon saying : ” women and children cries and tears increased in my city with intensifying the air strikes by the Russian warplanes that targeted the city with dozens bombs which claim civilian lives and injured others in addition to the fires and massive destruction.. Here the city lost every thing.
We can not forget the cities and towns of Jiser-alshogure, Maeret-alnoman , Khan-sheikhon that becomes crowded with displaced from Hama, Mardeikh, Kaly, Altamanaa, Kafteen and Sarmada.. and yesterday Kafar-takhareem and Idlib city where all these cities and towns has suffered from the cluster missiles and are still suffering due to regime brutal campaign.”
From Kafar-takhareem Abo-Bilal screamed with a loud voice of anger and pain quivery “our dreams are broken.. we are living the pain.. Allah may beats you Bashar Assad and your allies .. yes on you who humanity has never seen someone like you”.
The question arises here.. Do you know what is cluster missiles?
They are bombs known for being dangerous. A cluster missile is a big container of dozens small bombs which probably explode in the air after launching them by warplanes so that it spread in wide districts on the land where some of them fall down without exploding; here these unexploded bombs become timed ones that can blew up at any moment once touching or moving it.
Om-Mohammed from Kafar-takhareem revealed her great pain due to a raid targeted her city with cluster bombs: “sometimes we decrease the talk about a regime killing his people .. not because we only hate him but because we can not find suitable words to describe him… may Allah help us.. please Allah help the armed lees innocent people in Syria”.
Considering civil defense, its teams are almost helpless to get rid of the cluster bombs or reducing their danger on civilians; what the most hardens their duty is that they lack the new developed searching equipment besides security tools to get rid of the cluster bombs spread in the agricultural lands and in residential districts.
Civil defense teams has carried out campaigns to clarify how dangerous cluster bombs are in addition to warning pictures that were distributed on citizens and hanged on walls with instructions how to deal with them.
The question remains: how long our people in Syria will suffer?
