Dear officials, with great affection and respect for you, we Venezuelan Syrian citizens and the Drusa community present in Venezuela and in Syria we want Religious without respecting sacred places, without looking at spaces of peace.
We appreciate its actions in recent events on Wednesday, August 6 when at Damascus airport at the time that a humanitarian plane loaded with Venezuelan Syrian citizens about to take off towards Venezuela was intercepted to prevent its departure, in it came families with children, older adults, all loaded with memories of pain, with images of your loved ones without life and you, brave Venezuelan officials in Damascus were a protective shield for them. They were protected by the impediment of takeoff.
To date, only in Suwayda or Sweyda, at least 1,400 people killed, approximately 500 violations of women, violently attacked children are counted, ultra -raised older adults, the Suwayda hospital left it in ruins about the lives of those who were there … the figures can be higher, but the information, as well as the light, the water, the food, the food, the food, the food, the food, the food It is closed, curtailed.
We who with love and pride carry two tricolors in our heart, one yellow, blue and red with eight stars and another red, black and white with two stars to the center, we ask the Government of Venezuela not to give up to their help that has been the life expectancy for those who have seen so many families die in the tranquility of their home and in the hands of the extreme violence of a government that we do not know and in which we never believed.
Let us lift the voice so that the world knows the truth of what Syria lives and that they also know that our Venezuelan brothers are brave men, defenders of life without measuring the size of the war in which they are found.
For Syria, for Venezuela, for peace.
Drusa Syria community in Venezuela.
