Ground Zero: Syria (Part 4) - Under Fire for Bread in Aleppo

Every day the men, women, and children of Aleppo, Syria, must risk their lives to stand in line and hope that they can buy a kilo of bread to survive another day. Many of the bread factories in Aleppo have been destroyed amidst fighting between the Free Syrian Army and Assad's troops. The few that remain are staffed by brave souls who risk their lives every day to ensure the local population has basic sustenance.

Continue the discussion #GROUNDZEROSYRIA

Ground Zero Syria is a series where we've compiled photojournalist and videographer Robert King's footage into a series of raw, largely unedited vignettes that present a snapshot of the ancient city as it crumbles and burns while its citizens are killed indiscriminately.

Thank you for posting these video's.

Just do some research on websites like BestGore and you'll see, how the FSA is "protecting" the people.

I love you syrian people i just can cry and cry i hope very soon you lovely people have peace,i pray for you every day.kiss you

[CodeHei]

Of course both side commit war crimes. You don't expect one side to commit war crimes while the other does not. Now the question is which side is better.

I can give a fact which is a FACT. Must I put the link of the videos my self?

The questions is simple. We can see videos of FSA doing beheading, using sarin gas, using child figther, using suicide bomber, and etc etc etc.

Now can you show me 1 worst video the Army has commit? I've only seen them mutilate a dead body.

Army = law

FSA = lawles

[emergcon]

war crimes are comited on both sides... both sides are using propaganda. the truth lies somewhere in between.

so stop spreading propaganda... and well: just saying something is a fact doesnt makes it a fact. fact!

[CodeHei]

Tell me why are you soo blind? BUy a mirrow and look at your self.

It's a proven fact that FSA carries out beheading,

use child fighter, Suicide bomb, UNEDUCATED UNTRAINED SHELLING that deliberately killing woman and childrens.

One would be sooo blind to think that these people is actually fight for freedom.

Btw it's fucking sick how they slit 50 childrren's throat and blame it on the goverment.

To hell with woman and children killer.

[CodeHei]

You have no prove that FSA protects woman and children. Neither does any factor stands for FSA to have value in woman and children. I would ask you to actually read the facts out there about FSA.

It is known that FSA use child fighter. That means they don't give a FLYING SHIT about the children of syria let alone woman. Little kids does't know anything about what they are fighting for, dont tell me they do dumb ass.

They also use suicide bomb, killing woman and children.

Sarin gas as well

[CodeHei]

Open your brain and heart. Out of the leaked videos, Rebels have far more amature videos posted online. Now I Ask you, have you seen an Army behead anyone? I don't care about alawaties or sunni.

Majority of Syrian is sunni is a fact and lots of FSA is a terrorist is a fact.

I haven't seen any army execute, anyone. Only beating which is expected in any civil war. But the FSA carries out beheading and unlawful excecu

There is 50 children who got their throat slit. SO who would do that? FSA ofc..

[mezut ozil]

dont spread misinformation. Assad and his regime are Alawits and the civilians are sunni muslims. Other videos of Assads guys, pay attention they are telling the gissels "say there is no god but assad" these alawits has been in charge with assads father and himself, and all this time the people couldn't even speak their mind. So now it's time for a change. FSA are the only one protecting the children and women. How can people be blind to this.appreciate these guys(vice) who are actually there.

"do you think you will get bread " it's all up to god... One thing in common in the people dieing in Iraq, Iran, Bahrain, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, Libia, Gaza and the rest of the Arab world is you "god"
