The Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon, in delivering his final speech to the General Assembly was scathing in his criticism of the Syrian government over the war that has killed and displaced so many civilians in that country.


Na malosi faitioga a le failautusi aoao o malo aufaatasi Ban Ki-moon i taitai o malo tetele i lana saunoaga ile fono tele, le United Nations General Assembly i New York analeila.

 

Na saunoa le failautusi aoao o le faaauau mo se taimi umi o le taua i Suria ma le faitau miliona o tagata ua saili lafitaga ma le toatele ua maliliu ai, o se faailoga lea o le iai i le lalolagi o taitai e faamuamua lo latou tu'inanau i le 'oa ma le pule, ae ua leai ai se alofa i tagata o lona atunuu.

 

 

BAN

"Powerful patrons that keep feeding the war machine also have blood on their hands. Present in this hall today are representatives of governments that have ignored, facilitated, funded, participated in, or even planned and carried out, atrocities inflicted by all sides of the Syrian conflict against Syrian civilians. Just when we think it cannot get any worse, the bar of depravity sinks lower."

 

Na faatitino la faitioga i le faigamalo ma le taitaiga o le malo i Suria i lalo o Bashar al-Assad.

 

BAN

"The conflict in Syria is taking the greatest number of lives and sowing the widest instability. There is no military solution. Many groups have killed many innocents, but none more so than the government of Syria, which continues to barrel-bomb neighbourhoods and systematically torture thousands of detainees."

 

O le saunoaga mulimuli lenei a Ban Ki Moon i lona tofi ae na te le'i tuua ia Tesema o le tausaga nei.

 

E le gata i Suria, ae na malosi foi faitioga a Ban Ki Moon i taitai o Korea i Matu, Isaraelu, Palesitina, ma Ukraine....
