monday 11 january 2016 18:41 silence over russias crimes serves its goal of undermining political solution. the syrian coalition strongly condemned the heinous massacre carried out by russian warplanes in which 35 civilians mostly schoolchildren and teachers were killed and many more wounded. three schools were targeted by russian aircrafts earlier this morning in the town of ain jara in rural aleppo. the syrian coalition stressed that the international community must act quickly against russias flagrant crimes against the syrian people including children women and the elderly. russias actions in syria while representing a continuation of assads terror since the start of syrian revolution are designed to break the will of the syrian people and undermine the political solution. the syrian coalition reiterated that this crime and other crimes by the assad regime and its allies represent a clear violation of un security council resolution 2254 which calls for immediate cessation of all attacks against civilians. the silence of the international community over the crimes of the assad regime and its allies against syrian civilians as well as its complete disregard for their blood is a shameful stain on humanity. the failure to explicitly and clearly condemn the russian aggression and the inaction towards russias massacres against the syrian people constitute outright support for these crimes. this silence also represents complicity in undermining efforts to find a political solution in syria the syrian coalition added.
