Western Powers Call on Damascus, Hizbullah to 'Stop Wadi Barada Attacks'
Western powers have called on the Syrian regime and Hizbullah to “stop their attacks” in the Wadi Barada region near Damascus, a media report said on Sunday.
All the ambassadors of the Western powers agreed during a U.N. Security Council vote on Saturday that a passed resolution should be a “strong message to Damascus and Hizbullah to stop their attacks on Wadi Barada and the rest of the regions,” the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat said.
On Saturday, Russia and Turkey secured unanimous passage of a U.N. resolution backing their efforts to "jumpstart" talks aimed at ending the nearly six-year conflict in Syria.
The Security Council resolution aims to pave the way for talks next month in Kazakhstan's capital Astana, under the aegis of Russia and Iran -- both Syrian government supporters -- and of rebel backer Turkey.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor of the war, said most of Syria remained calm in the weekend, despite limited clashes.
The government in Damascus called the ceasefire a "real opportunity" to find a political solution to a war that has claimed more than 310,000 lives and displaced millions since it began in March 2011 with protests against the regime of President Bashar Assad.
Clashes were reported around Wadi Barada near Damascus, and the southern city of Daraa, where one opposition fighter was killed.
The fighting in Wadi Barada has led to water shortages that have affected four million people in the capital.
Five rebel fighters and two civilians have been killed in Wadi Barada and the rebel bastion of Eastern Ghouta near Damascus since the truce started on Friday, said Syrian Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman.
The forces in Wadi Barada include Fateh al-Sham Front, previously known as al-Nusra Front. That group and the Islamic State group are excluded from the truce.

by one hand, the deal doesn't contemplate Saudi-led terrorist groups among them is Nusra Front.
"The forces in Wadi Barada include Fateh al-Sham Front, previously known as al-Nusra Front. That group and the Islamic State group are excluded from the truce."
by the other hand, the title states it clearly, that the message is not directed to only Hizbullah, but the Syrian govt troops as well.
"Western Powers Call on Damascus, Hizbullah to 'Stop Wadi Barada Attacks"
so, western powers are intended to protect their terrorists.
try to learn how to read and if you read it, try to learn to undestand what you read... Uff.

Funny how the West isn't brining up United Nations Security on Yemen.
Starvation is a normal thing going on in Yemen now because of the Saudi American blockade.
No forget about that, Yemen is just not that important right?

It's a good thing the beloved Ansarullah can raid your Saudi army bases.
Those bases are filled up with food to last for months.
That is an easy way to get food aswell for the civilians.

The U.K and France wanted to breach Syrian airspace to drop aid to the besieged Aleppo.
But in Yemen they sell bombs to Saudi Arabia to kill the Yemeni people, good thing that the Ansarullah are stronger than your salafi rebels in Syria.
Ansarullah don't cry for help, they fight till the death.

Didn't you also mention at one point that the Saudi Coalition were on the doorsteps of Sanaa taking the city in a matter of month?
Ansarullah are already in control of huge part of Jizan and Najran in the Saudi Southern Lands.

Saudis are keeping a low profile on their defeats in Yemen.
It is their Vietnam, just like the U.S supported the South against the North, Saudis tries the same with South Yemen against North.
Even so in reality, most of Yemen backs the Ansarullah against the Saudi Invasion.

you are quoting main stream news media @flametroller???! wow, that's strange for an iranian shoe scumbag of your caliber since you have always said you don't source your news from news media but rely on people on the ground;))!
btw, isn't the same source you alter ego @mowateh uses as a reference for its shia propaganda?
lol @flametroller is confused between his sick fantasies and reality...this irani shoe has some serious delusions..

هذا الفيديو حاول الحوثيون حجبه عن هواتف اليمنيين
تداول مغردون بإعجاب مقطع فيديو لمشهد درامي يمني من بطولة الممثل علي الحجوري، حيث كان من خلال المشهد المؤثر يؤدي شخصية موظف بنك، ويطلب من اليمنيين، الذين تلقوا حوالات من إيران الوقوف جانباً فلم يصطف أحد، ثم قال "اللي عنده حوالة من السعودية يأتي هنا"، فتغيرت الصورة كلياً بعد أن تزاحموا على الشباك. وقد قمع الحوثيون متداولي الفيديو على هواتفهم.
