in still struggling it's legacy turn to the courts to make a man. who back to that top story now returning to syria next as r.t. talks to a french journalist who's been reporting from the country throughout the conflict and you know shares his firsthand impressions on what he saw going on there with r.t. . as the conflict in syria continues it's been extremely hard to establish exactly what's been happening here inside the country we're joined now by independent journalist the airiness sun thank you very much for joining us now you've been working on the ground here in syria can you tell us where your perceptions of the situation are big in we've some armed groups entering inside the country. making big problems trying to create islamic emirates on the border first in jordan. and various people.

some of them to to me to fighting groups and. coordination with the political opposition. to this country a very. long history of the position between sparty and the muesli brotherhood so no reason i didn't speak to in this. groups coming from abroad so that's why these groups come in. because be of some support and inside the population begin. in subversion but they find a support inside become real. difficult to gnaw away for and be support if it's because people is ready to use any means to reverse for government or

if it's. for some ideological reasons and if you were muslim brothers they said the very reverse. the president bashar less said not because they want their work received but because he's a low weight so it could be the beginning of a religious war inside the country three of described as a country on the brink of civil war do you think the situation is actually there yet we have seen the beginning of a sea would war in some places especially in by the u.s. but now it's finished and no end in homs but nothing needs extending to a country i think because of external pressure from against syria and always people in three inside syria who continue but i don't think you know no reason to think that it will extend to all who come to pass peace country was an example of

friendly leaving between the different communities and since very long time it's not at all. it's probably his story of of syria you know where to since the thirteenth some taurean. in damascus very. big mosque. if we do is question his sunni and shia and sometimes have a pest which people praying to get there if we did this a mosque so they have a long tradition of peaceful. coexistence between the communities. but since put them nasty holes in the middle east the beam populistic system is pushing the division between the communities that's. you know he said id to reshape

who told me the least and evading the people in different sects we can see that varies now some people in this country are supporting these projects of hostility between. different communities and some of them are seen as sillies the most important community they have to control the poor and to exclude all those six from the four they were also on the ground during the war in libya in what ways did you draw comparisons to the situation that's happening now in syria so the way it works for nato is exactly the same be do exactly the same way to create the file on the united nations first two we've version of a council on human rights and after the security council they try to manipulate a rubber league exactly in the same way in the libyan case they organize a big story in front of vision of

a concern for human rights they say to ease five thousand people killed by security forces of course it's absolute zero on the base a lot of people killed but very few by the security forces most of them are killed by this armor groups they put inside the car and with the same armor woops they use in libya and no you are with some different to mission between six hundred people coming from media who are now in syria especially you know what. the military goes on the off tripoli libya is no easy. in turkey to organize all the fight inside libya and they had. to could do. particularly big. which was that people from i kid are no responsible for security in tripoli tonight. they are all of them inside syria and the

fame spanish reporter was first in libya recognize them here in inside at the top would be so so-called free. syrian army but not syria but you know in steam libya for supporting the street it was only in syria and the care because there was . an old contentious between syria and. its whose country was created artificially very late so you don't have such a thing in syria and so you have the only way to divide the people is to use the confession of war so we try to do that now. below it's. so nice and of course of course to. christian jews and so but to have a main fight there you want to create this between i would sense of who last competition a war in the syria. hundred sixty years ago so it's difficult to prevent how do you

see the situation progressing now first. i think that all be reaction to destabilize the country are not working we see a lot of problems a lot of people killed but this is not a civil war great way to organize if they want to enter with foreign troops inside like the do in libya or using a proxy from the gulf council i think they will. very probably because based countries really full bottle glorious countries leaving since sixty years in the middle east who is that will has not led. you know on the economic level of those big problems at the beginning of a sanctions destroy different part of the economy of course all the tourism is totally destroyed but during the winter you have more fuel.

also a problem with. different imported goods. i think. is no changing because varies new agreements between syria. and china or that so great why no to impose. sanctions. it could be a disaster for his company but we discover very quickly but it will be also disaster mikkel disaster for the ovals arab countries around survey have to stop is sanctions so no. syria is able to resist very long time to be. pressured from the top do you think the president is that they now has the capability the capacity to remain in power of course and. the problem is that

the people who try to destabilize assad. stronger are sort of the that they are creating the meat they have already has on the throne they will have. but i said at the beginning where you have the wrong evolution of the program they think it would be very simple what the grade the student of law conversational civil war but they make a mistake very quickly so. we built the number who we put in and. in libya when they create an islamic emirate. because he became rate in libya and in syria. they have a lot of weapons from the beginning because they seized from the army not to leave . smuggling and over you know but they have very big stocks so they can have a basis to extend the civil war in the country but here they think it and

after that they use the people way of cement going from one told to another creating problem for one tone to another but not able to destabilize all the country of the same time. and i know it's too late they will fade thank you very much for joining us.
