THE World Peace Council (WPC) expresses its strongest opposition to the recent developments in Syria, which led to the overthrow of the Syrian government by armed religious fundamentalist forces who have been active in the region for the last 13 years.
The WPC considers this situation a result of a co-ordinated foreign imperialist intervention, despite the fact that it is not yet clear what was agreed on by major players, and whether the result was a temporary agreement by the forces involved.
All these years, Syria, a widely secular country and society, was a theatre of operations for similar groups and armies which acted as proxies for powerful regional and international forces in their plans to control the energy resources, pipelines and spheres of influence in and around Syria.
