Thousands of Palestinians Return to Damascus Refugee Camp |
2012-12-21 |
[An Nahar] Thousands of Paleostinians returned on Thursday to a refugee camp in Damascus ...The place where Pencilneck hangs his brass hat... that has become a battle ground, as U.N. Sherlocks warned of an openly sectarian conflict that threatens whole communities. Meanwhile, ...back at the desert island, Bert was realizing to his horror that he'd had only one bottle for one message, and he'd forgotten to include a return address... Russian President Vladimir Putin ![]() denied propping up ![]() Pencilneckal-Assad Despoiler of Deraa... and stressed that Moscow was only seeking to avert a perpetual civil war in its long-time ally. Four days on from a first air strike on Yarmuk refugee camp, "thousands of Paleostinians walked across army checkpoints at the entrance to the camp to return home, rather than sleep outside in the cold and under the rain," an aid worker in the camp said. According to one resident and amateur video posted online, refugees sang traditional Paleostinian songs, and chanted: "We are returning to Yarmuk camp". Another resident said most the fighters of the rebel Free Syrian Army that had been deployed in their thousands days earlier had pulled out of Yarmuk. "There are a couple of fighters in each alley way, but they're drinking tea and smoking the nargileh (water-pipe)," the resident told AFP. In Geneva, the United Nations ...an international organization whose stated aims of facilitating interational security involves making sure that nobody with live ammo is offended unless it's a civilized country... Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine refugees (UNRWA) said as many as 100,000 Paleostinians may have fled Yarmuk in the past few days. The dramatic turn of events in Damascus in recent days was followed by U.N. findings that Syria's conflict has become overtly sectarian. "As battles between government forces and anti-government gangs approach the end of their second year, the conflict has become overtly sectarian in nature," the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria said in a report published on Thursday. |

Hmmmmm...sounds like the UNRWA is falling down on the job. You might figure they'd be pretty good at, seeing how they've had about 65 years of practice, but I guess not... |
