In an article about starvation & the urgent need for humanitarian aid especially in areas with millions of displaced people Jansen fails to inform readers that Russia at he UNSC insisted on the closure of 3 out of 5 cross border aid corridors, thus imposing starvation siege.
Jansen claims food prices have risen bec of & #39;continued fighting& #39;, sanctions & crisis in Lebanon.

Ommitted: 50 years of looting by regime, 9 years of deliberate obliteration of working class towns & cities, forced displacement of over half a population.....
... wiping out of the male population thru forced conscription, forced exile, detention torture & murder of hundreds of thousands... so many households now headed by women, workforce massively diminished......
... looting of billions of dollars from Syria by Assad & gang, funding lavish lifestyles of next generation living it up while Syria starveds, paying off Rifaat al Assad, recently convicted of money laundering in Paris..... Jansen fails to tell this...

& #39;Reconstruction cannot begin as long as the governments international opponents try to bring it down by means of maximum pressure& #39;

NO

Reconstruction cannot begin while there are well over 100,000 in Assad death camps, where a similar number have already been tortured to death
& #39;Israel has conducted repeated airstrikes on pro government forces& #39;

Israeli airstrikes are against Iranian forces based in Syria, but that detail does not suit narrative Assad wants spun....
Iran & Hezbollah have acted as enforcers of Assad starvation sieges - Jansen doesnt tell us this even in an article about starvation in Syria

& no word of the scandal of regime looting of well over half of UN aid, of Asma al Assad war profiteering https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/syria/2018-09-20/how-un-humanitarian-aid-has-propped-assad">https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/...
Continued publication of these dreadfully misleading columns by Jansen, which differ very little from releases from Assad& #39;s press office SANA, in @IrishTimes is a huge disservice to its readership, Syrians undergoing what UN called Extermination & common humanity & decency
The path out of sanctions is clear, and what Assad is being asked to do is reasonable to any decent human https://twitter.com/grannies4equal/status/1274773942235004928?s=19">https://twitter.com/grannies4...
