Destruction and killings continue in Syria

The last few weeks of aerial bombardment in the northern city of Aleppo has not only caused mass civilian casualties, but has seen an increasing number of health facilities deliberatively destroyed. These actions by the Syrian government have taken a devastating toll on workers and their families. The recent ceasefires brokered by the main imperialist powers had very little effect and did not address the issues that led to the original uprising or the massacres that have followed since. Syrian writers, artists and journalists have come together to oppose the present imperialist interventions while a number of international activists have also put out a document calling for food aid, not bombs. Protests against the war, the Syrian government, and the various imperialist countries were held around the world on Saturday 1 October 2016.
