They contributed to the mess by providing false information and by covering up for the number one reason for the mess: Hisbollah and it’s criminal activities especially siphoning off Lebanon’s reserves through so called smuggling and by forcing that stupid default.

#Russia should demonstrate leadership in #UNSC by supporting aid to flow to #Syria from 2 border crossings to northwest for 12 months and also allow aid to northeast from Iraq. Vital so people can eat and combat #COVID19 spread. hrw.org/news/2020/06/1…
#Russia's draft resolution on cross-border aid for #Syria shows it recognizes importance of continued aid for Syrians. But it falls short of meeting needs of mlns of Syrians. #UNSC members should push Moscow to allow 2 crossings for NW Syria & 1 for NE. hrw.org/news/2020/06/1…
In addition to 2 crossings for aid from Turkey to northwest #Syria, 1 border crossing from Iraq to Syria is also vital to allow medical aid to contain spread of #COVID19 in NE. Millions of Syrian lives depend on it. #UNSC members need to persuade #Russia. hrw.org/news/2020/04/2…
