From the Grayzone, 14 January 2021 An independent United Nations expert is calling on the US to lift its crippling sanctions on Syria. Under the Caesar Act, US sanctions explicitly target Syria's reconstruction in the aftermath of a catastrophic 10-year war. Alena Douhan, the UN Special Rapporteur on the impact of sanctions, says that the US sanctions are illegal and depriving Syrian civilians of their basic needs. "People shouldn't die, people shouldn't suffer, and people shouldn't fear whether they can survive after tomorrow, because they have neither medicine or food, because of the sanctions applied," Douhan says. Guest: Alena F. Douhan, UN Special Rapporteur on sanctions, and a professor at Belarusian State University.

Excellent and detailed documentary on the White Helmets in south Syria. Of course many of the former members interviewed are putting a gloss on their role, but the detail of their operations is really informative. British intel ran them and the southern 'Free Army' from Jordan. Thank you ANNA News colleagues Aleksandr and Sergei.
