Al-Baghuz: Hecatomb on the Euphrates
Recently, the United States accused Moscow and Damascus of “escalating violence” in Idlib, calling the action of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the sky over this province “outrageous”.
“These outrageous attacks on civilian infrastructure and settlements for internally displaced persons should stop now,” said US Secretary of State Robert Palladino.
Americans were displeased by the fact that the aerospace forces of Russia, in coordination with Turkey, inflicted a targeted air strike against a warehouse with weapons and ammunition by terrorists in the Syrian province of Idlib.
According to information confirmed through several channels, Islamist militants delivered a large batch of attack drone aircraft to this warehouse, which they planned to use for air attack on the Russian Khmeymim airbase.
Considering the fact that the course of one such attack of combat drones was tracked to the Russian airfield, and, possibly, coordinated from an American reconnaissance aircraft, then there is nothing surprising in such a reaction from Washington.
But at the very moment when a State Department spokesman accused the Russian military, the Americans and their allies were carrying out actions at the other end of the country that quite fall under the definition of a war crime.
This is the tragedy of the village of Baguz, a settlement on the eastern bank of the Euphrates, in the vicinity of which militants and civilian personnel of the Islamic State banned in Russia (ISIS, ISIL, DAISH), members of their families and refugees from the settlements of the so-called Hajinsky pocket.
A significant part of the people there are women and children, including those not related to the IG. They suffer from hunger, dehydration and disease. But the most important thing is that they have been subjected to bombing attacks by the US Air Force for a long time, attacks from mortars and AGS from Kurdish militants blocking this piece of land.
Recall that the Hadzhinsky pocket was called the section of the territory in the south-east of Syria from Hadjin to Baguz, on the border with Iraq and Jordan, which is under the control of the pro-American coalition.
For a considerable time there was an enclave of IG terrorists, which neither the Kurds nor their American masters did not particularly bother.
The reasons for this are quite obvious. First, the “fight against IS” seems to justify the occupation by the Americans of the territory of the SAR and their support for the separatists and rebels, from whom they have blinded the “anti-terrorist coalition”.
Secondly, the stay of the American contingent in Syria was generously paid by Riyadh, and the Americans did not want to lose this money at all.
Thirdly, the inhabitants of the Khadzhinsky pocket represented a kind of “personnel reserve” for the Americans - many of them “in an absolutely incredible way” moved to other places of the planet. Someone, having undergone retraining at a base in Al-Tanf, got out of the "unidentified helicopters" in the north of Afghanistan, and someone ended up in the Ukraine.
Fourthly, the IK enclave, located along the course of the Euphrates, was a threat to the “Shiite corridor” connecting Syria and Iran through the territory of Iraq.
This “idyll” ended after Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of the American contingent from Syria.
After that, with the "pocket" decided to stop. Not only in order not to leave unnecessary witnesses to the interaction of the American special services and the military with the terrorists, but also to prevent the Caliphate from striking the Kurdish formations, deprived of direct support from Washington.
Immediately after the announcement of Trump's decision, a “pocket” purge began. She walked systematically - aviation began to strike at settlements controlled by the Islamic State, starting from the east, squeezing caliphates west to the Euphrates. Americans in full use cluster bombs and white phosphorus. Together with the caliphates, civilians fled to the west, fearing not only American bombs, but also Kurdish militants who were following and not too inclined to figure out who the jihadist was and who was just an average man.
This flight ended in late January, when terrorists and refugees were pressed to the Euphrates, on the field near the village of Baguz Fukani. On a small platform made of cardboard and polyethylene they created improvised shelters from the weather and, if possible, strengthened the gap between the gaps and the trenches.
From this moment on, the square kilometer, on which the camp of the “caliphate” settled down, was bombed intermittently for humanitarian pauses, which allowed everyone to surrender. In addition, at these times it is possible for several thousand dollars to negotiate with the Kurds for free access to the ring of the environment.
February 22 even brought humanitarian aid - a truck with a small amount of products. Which did not save from hunger, but only provoked internal conflicts. By the end of the month, a complete blockade was established. Kurdish snipers began to hunt for trying to draw water from the Euphrates. A rather cold winter was added to the famine. Children die from dozens of illnesses, cold and dehydration.
In the afternoon, the Kurds fire at the camp with mortars. And at night, it works "ganship" - American heavy attack aircraft AC-130. The combat use of this screw monster is limited by its vulnerability to air defense weapons, but nothing threatened it in the skies over Baguz.
Strictly speaking, his rapid-fire cannons could have crushed all the inhabitants of Piglet on the bank of the Euphrates, along with their huts. But apparently, the pilots are more “frightened” than they fire on destruction.
The official representative of the "Syrian Democratic Forces" Kino Gabriel announced that during the siege of the village of Al-Baguz more than 1600 militants of the "Islamic State" were killed, another 25 of thousands of caliphates surrendered. According to official Kurdish sources, the 82 SDF fighter was killed during the operation, and 61 was injured.
According to Kino Gabriel, most of the militants defending in Baguz have already surrendered. Currently, according to the SDF, 5000 fighters and their families are still in the last IG refuge in Syria.
Earlier in the SDF stated that in the Baguz remains a “handful” of Islamists. It should be noted that the surrounding “caliphates” and members of their families describe in social networks (the Internet is perfectly “caught” in Baguz) the horror of what is happening.
9 March The Kurds announced an ultimatum, demanding immediate surrender. However, few accepted it. Most of the remaining militants had previously abandoned the "interesting proposals" of the Americans, preferring to become "martyrs." And among the “Mirnyak” there are mostly families of “caliphates” who are convinced that surrendering to the Kurds also means death, only not as fast as from burning phosphorus or the Gatling projectile.
These fears are not unfounded - there are constantly reports of repression of SDF militants against the civilian population of the territories under their control. For example, on March 17, mass arrests took place in Raqqah, and in the province of Deir ez-Zor, the Kurds shot a child while stripping the village of Al-Zar.
13 March, there was information that the camp and its remaining inhabitants burned out with phosphorus. Photos of burnt bodies appeared in the network, however, according to posts in social networks, the tragedy is still ongoing.
15 March Caliphaters made another attempt to break through, quickly suppressed by the Kurds.
And on March 17, the Americans again launched bombing assaults on the "field of death" in Baguz, to which 10 civilians became victims. According to preliminary data reported by Syria TV, there are children among the dead. That is, so far in the camp on the banks of the Euphrates are still alive, and their destruction continues.
IG, without a doubt, is one of the most terrible structures of our time, in the list of which acts of genocide, mass executions, terror, the slave trade. However, on the field near Bagusa, not only are the militants whose hands are stained with blood, but also women and children, and, so to speak, “civilian caliphates”. That is, people who serve the civil infrastructure of the territories occupied by IG - for example, medical workers, technical specialists, and so on. If we consider that some settlements were under the control of the caliphate for several years, it becomes clear that the number of such people is large.
The moral aspect of the responsibility of the Americans for the fate of the “caliphates” nurtured by them, which they are exterminating today with no less sophisticated sadism than the igilovts themselves, killed Christians, Shiites and Yezidis, I think there is no need to consider. Although their sad example could teach a lot of new American pets - SDF militants.
By the way, history Baguza could be completed completely differently. For example, to organize for civilians a “corridor” under the control of the staff of the Red Crescent and the UN, by guaranteeing their evacuation to a safe place, away from the SDF. And against the remaining in the camp to use non-lethal weaponwhich the Pentagon is so proud of.
Let's say ADS installation. The US SSO has an AC-130 aircraft with such a device, instead of “mini-guns” and “Gatling”.
But Washington chose to arrange a hecatomb on the banks of the Euphrates, without even thinking that such a demonstrative and obvious atrocity raises serious doubts about the validity of its claims to the role of "humanist" and "moral arbiter."
“These outrageous attacks on civilian infrastructure and settlements for internally displaced persons should stop now,” said US Secretary of State Robert Palladino.
