In Muadamiyat al-Sham… To Raise the Regime Flag or To Strave

Baladi News – Damascus Countryside (Follow-ups)

The Syrian regime flag was raised on Sunday over the old municipality building downtown the opposition-held city of Muadamiyat al-Sham in the western countryside of Damascus. This difficult decision was made by the city's negotiating committee after stipulating this condition for allowing the entry of food.

“Akram Jamilah”, the representative of Bashar al-Assad brother, commander Maher al-Assad, visited the city under the protection of rebels’ factions controlling the city and raised the flag. In return, vegetables, yogurt, and bread were entered to the city as a goodwill gesture by the regime to pursue negotiations.

The military factions, that have been controlling the city since the end of 2012, found in raising the flag no threat to the revolution’s gains, considering it an insignificant piece of cloth, meanwhile the residents had to accept it after symptoms of malnutrition started to appear in children due to long starvation.

It is worth mentioning that regime flag was raised in 2013 after a blockade that killed more than 20 civilians in the city.
