5:05 pm
us of taking a step towards legitimizing the new server and administration by meeting it's lisa with al shara see me, i'm at least to provide bob relief, let the delegation to damascus for the 1st engagement between washington and the new leadership officers amazing, she confirmed that the us is lifting a $10000000.00 bounty on shara, who is the head of the group. hyatt to me, i'll show them what is the us considered as a terrorist organization? leaves as washington rules, i consider lifting sanctions on syria. if any leadership as responsive and demonstrates progress, both parties agreed to work together to find journalist austin tice and other american systems who wouldn't missing during the shot. la sides will. that's bringing us so much in been job aid now, who's standing by 1st and the syrian a capsule, damascus. as of a festival, it tells a little bit more about the latest appointment that we've seen, a new foreign minister in damascus of the absolute v. as the flurry of
5:06 pm
diplomatic activity continues, the political scene is also shaping up here in the food and capital of damascus. this new appointment of size and shape bonnie shows that this administration is interested in this outreach that the world has been showing towards it. the mr tribe, i need somebody who's known in the circles of a book because he was very active in bringing in aid and was a different person to interact with a lot of n g o. in event the government off this television government was established by h. p. s. been day with the it is quite interesting to discuss the meeting that he's the leader of the h t s. had with the us diplomats where he had to go and meet them. they didn't come to him, he was the one who was us to ensure that the this is going to be a transitional government in the next few months. and he was also told that it needs to be an inclusive government for all sides to take part. it is interesting
5:07 pm
that yes, you would submit a solution to talk about some legit to my vision of the government but did not talk about lifting any of the functions, especially under the caesar's act. so a lot of diplomatic activity happening in this, the city for the last 1011 days, we've seen multiple embassies reopening the property embassy open ended stores today. but again, as the turkish embassy is when it has the open, but it will take some time for them to renovate the buildings. because for most part of over the decade, they've been closed and shut down, and they need to be renovated, but it's in those renovations. those reopening those black always things show that not just this country is ready for change, but the international community is also interested to see what change happens in this country and what shape it and days there. and so if i focus that on the future, but also needing to reconcile with the cost and you've been reporting on an extremely disturbing story about mass graves, can you explain a little bit more about law? are they ever you go in syria places that were under the control of the assad
5:08 pm
regime? i know opening up and as they open up, new hire stories appear new really emotional accounts of people of what this regime had been doing to them not just in the last 13 years, but for more than more than 6 decades what this regime and is the previous regime of under the aside that to them up this place that we went through in saddam and we did, we installed absolute horrors after hard in every see. but just to give you a little bit of context, this conflict has taken over half a 1000000 lives until the fall of the 5 years you've just a few days ago. this has been so horrendous, it more than a 150000 people are missing and you put it into context. only 40000 people are missing during the genocide in bosnia. and it is also worth noting that according to monitors, they believe the $66.00 must gave me a could be in syria,
5:09 pm
and that is the number as they not taking into account the new faces that are opening up, such as the government. but i must warn our view, is that what you're about to see from to them? and it's very disturbing, not just in terms of fixtures, but also according to the testimony of the people of what they have to go through. i did this that previously even in broad daylight, this is a dock face. potters of the former regime, laid bed in the streets and shows of what used to be homes. this is the dominant, a neighborhood which people here see wasn't execution site. a square kilometer kills a little see from mazda of 5 shot i have, they tell us about domestic. on this street. in 2013 dozens were executed. people know for sure, because the perpetrators filled in themselves doing the did was the years later. a local say the execution is very from assad's military
5:10 pm
intelligence. he's about a minute to the national defense forces. i. the soldiers take up the street and through bland and golf men into a trench and shop them one after the other young and hold brought to the trench, been killed when regime soldiers smoked loft. we've gone through the full video because it's to goose and beyond that trench people keep finding bones. the entire neighborhood feels like you know, from the graveyard. that looks like somebody's pelvis. a job on these appear to be human domains collected by children and local residents here. when they find them, they collect them in one spot, and then they go and bury them with this as have been coming forward, describing to us the quarters of things which happened into them and they say it was just one massacre. it'd be massacres in every street at every block. every,
5:11 pm
every note that i was borne by the assad, but in power. he says the shot of the south killed his son. badger they have to many attempts. we received him and buried him. i saw it. you can imagine how many people were killed like my son, if they detained anyone here he or she will not come out to light. this block was surrounded by concrete in r and barriers. his other son was also arrested, but after his release he fits syria and now lives in jim had i've moved on just to do much of to the heart. i haven't seen him more than a decade by that. so it wasn't the only one muscle that would, doesn't the bodies in every block, they killed many people. those criminal tortured, displaced and killed us and told them on mohammed this 14 years old. and he's memorized the names of the former regime. segregation is, why are you not in school, the name of the system such as much stuff,
5:12 pm
how school is closed? so i stop learning, i'll stay here and they can make money. i also saw with the bones, so the docs on come in the post aside, syria, potential mas graves are playgrounds, as well as the torture and executions. there are numerous hotter stories from the dumber, and this is just one neighborhood. the mass graves are open and the evidence hasn't been for this. it will take years if not decades, for savings through here and for justice to be served. some of the driver does is 0 . the dumb, damascus of a hoss at a certain political analyst. i'm the director of the syrian association, persistence, dignity, and he joins us again here in the studio. i get to have you back from how do, sir, and to reconcile with such past horrors. it's virtually impossible to being honest, but uh, i think it's a long and hard process that we have to endure all the syrians. because what we
5:13 pm
just seen in your report is really just the tip of the iceberg. these are crimes that has extended over 5 because right now, and this is why, probably one of the most practical aspects or parts of the political process that we're about to engage in is the transitional justice. it's true that it will never bring the whole kind of sense of comfort to the victims of their families. bear in mind that their entire villages, families and neighborhoods it being wiped off. but at least it will do the sense to the serious that the former, which team and it's the head of a former team and it's close to our call and those responsible for those. so i trust of these will never play a role in the future of the country and ultimately the victims of their family. they will find some kind of comfort and hope that this is uh, the end of the nightmare. is it just one huge challenge that faces the new administration? another major one is uniting syria and all the different factions. how well placed is h t s as leading level group. now the new administration. how will place to all
5:14 pm
day to do that? i mean, 1st of all, we have to be clear that any uh, authority or any group that would try and attempt to take a charge of serial right now is going to be facing a monumental task. having said that, i specifically have been giving really good chance to prove that they are capable, but they are certain things in, in their governing and their administration model that needs to change. and one of them specifically is, is inclusiveness. we all know that it's the still listed as a service organization. and yesterday they had a meeting with an american official delegation that visited damascus and have meetings with other civil society organizations as well. but right now the priority for us should be at the couple of think the, the listing of sds as a service organization from lifting sanctions, australia because lifting sanctions is paramount in order to start an early recovery of the economy. and supervisor who is with the most needed basic services
5:15 pm
in their cities right now. are you having a positive signs about boss, about the international community, willing to do what it takes to do what it comes to help syria and move forward? i mean, we understand that they might be skeptic about the situation in syria and, and a government led by sds, specifically. but there are 2 things that can be done. one at a serial level. we need to form a transitional government that is robust, inclusive, and that shows share sharing of power between his test and other affections and the kind of civil groups. on the other hand, the united states and their actual communities should look into having a general waivers. and, and, and licenses in order to lift even temporarily the sensors on syria. so help can, can flow through the country. okay, i'd be bass, great to speak to you. thanks for joining bestbuy me as well. so it has hair on alex's era. the
