syria from isis even though isis has been defeated noted. by the combined forces of the syrian arab army and their support from russia and iran and hezbollah fighters but you know the fighting has been reduced because the forces backed by turkey by saudi arabia and most importantly by the united states have been largely defeated except they are now taking over the province in the north west part of the country and again american troops are in syria and in the bombing continues this syrian people need to be allowed to live this is by no human rights catastrophe a huge tragedy foreign forces who are there illegally especially the united states need to leave. danny i think we've got a connection to syria as you know it's in the headlines often enough when it comes to war news but but what up by those people in need do you think there's a nuff attention to their problems is there a need for more aid indeed a more concerted focus from foreign countries well that's part of the equation let's not forget that these sanctions against the syrian people that have been in place for language in the past 10 years remain in place so it's not even necessarily ate
