Syria: The Truth Behind Aleppo Residents’ Desperate “Final Messages”

There's little to indicate that the people sending "final messages" were actual civilians experiencing the hyped Russian and Syrian shelling; in fact, those "final messages" from Aleppo looked more like a coordinated social media campaign than a cry for help.

The first two weeks of the last month of 2016 saw desperate and heartbreaking “final messages” from “thousands of civilians” flood social media, particularly Twitter, as the residents awaited “death under Assad’s bombs” amid a “complete meltdown of humanity” in the besieged eastern districts of Syria’s Aleppo:


“This may be my last video. More than 50,000 civilians who rebelled against the dictator [Syrian President Bashar] al-Assad are threatened with field executions or are dying under bombing,” Lina Shamy said in a video shared on Twitter.


“No place now to go. It’s the last place. Russia doesn’t want us to go out alive. They want us dead. Assad is the same. Yesterday there were many celebrations on the other part of Aleppo. They were celebrating on our bodies,” Abdulkafi al-Hamdo said in a Periscope video on Twitter.


“Please, don’t let them sleep. Do it, do it, do it, do that now. There is no minute to spare. Please, please, stand with Aleppo,” Salah Ashkar made a final plea for people to protest in solidarity with Aleppo at the UN.


“This might be close to, if not the last communication. I would like to say to the Muslim ummah [community] that is out there … guys you dropped the ball on this one,” Bilal Abdul Kareem said in a Twitter video.


Then, there was this 7-year-old girl named Bana Alabed:

However, there’s just one issue: these “final messages” came from not just any civilians, but activists with spots on prime time TV and front page coverage on mainstream media — from CNN and The Washington Post to Mirror and Al Jazeera.

For the uninitiated, Lina Shamy, Abdulkafi al-Hamdo, Salah Ashkar, and Rami Zien are activists based in eastern Aleppo, while Bilal Abdul Kareem is an American journalist and a documentary filmmaker who is spreading Western propaganda from inside the conflict zone.

Surprisingly, there are no “final messages” apart from this bunch of “civilians” who are still alive and kicking on Twitter!

In the Now host Anissa Naouai says there’s little to indicate that the people sending “final messages” were actual civilians experiencing the hyped Russian and Syrian shelling; in fact, she argues, those “final messages” from Aleppo looked more like a coordinated social media campaign than a cry for help.

She points out that the narrative was the same each time: that an all-out genocide is taking place; that the Assad forces are going from city to city killing their own people and taking no prisoners; and that Aleppo’s rebels valiantly look death in the face as they endure alleged Russian bombardment.

Can those “thousands of civilians” “waiting to die” now explain why these so-called “activists” and the mainstream media are silent when the liberated Syrians are rejoicing in the streets of Aleppo?
