Despite an agreed ceasefire between the rebels and the Syrian armed forces, civilians are still being fired upon as they leave the besieged city.


Ua faia se maliega i le va o le vaegaau a le malo Suria o loo lagolagoina le peresitene Bashar al- Assad ma le vaega fouvale e taofia ai le taua i East Aleppo ae tuumuli le fouvale ma o latou aiga.

 

O le itumalo i Sasa'e o le taulaga o Aleppo ua leva ona nonofo ai le fouvale ma ua faitau masina nei o pomu mai le 'ea e vaalele tau a Rusia ma Iran ia o loo lagolagoina le faigamalo a al-Assad.

 

I malo aufaatasi na malolosi finagalo faaalia i nisi o lipoti o loo ta'ua ai le fasiotia e fitafita a le vaegaau Suria o tagata sivili e aofia ai fafine ma tamaiti.

 

O le sui o Rusia i malo aufaaatasi o Vitaly Churkin, ma na ia faaalia ua le toe iai se tulaga lamatia o tagata i East Aleppo ona ua toe faoa e le vaegaau a Suria ma ua avanoa ai nei mo fesoasoani i tagata o loo nonofo ai.

 

CHURKIN

"The Syrian government has established control over east Aleppo so now the stage has come for practical humanitarian initiatives. The population that remains there should not need to leave but maybe there should be some civilians who do wish to leave from this destroyed city but the military actions have stopped so this very difficult chapter related to the situation in eastern Aleppo is now ended. It's ended at this stage."

 

Na faaalia e malo aufaatasi nisi o lipoti o loo ta'ua ai le fasiotia o tagata sivili ae o taumafai e sosola ina ua taunuu atu le vaegaau a Suria.

 

I lona masina mulimuli i le tofi failautusi aoao o malo aufaatasi, na saunoa Tupua Ban Ki Moon, o se tulaga le tala feagai le feoti o le faitau selau afe o tagata i suria, ae leai se mea e faia e atunuu malolosi o le lalolagi atoa ai malo aufaatasi.

 

BAN

"Since September the Security Council has failed to adopt three resolutions that could have enabled a humanitarian truce, evacuation of civilians and the entry of lifesaving aid. I have said before that we have collectively failed the people of Syria. The Security Council has not exercised its pre-eminent responsiblity with regard to the main tenets of international peace and security."

 

Ae na sili ona mamafa lafoga a le sui o Peretania i malo aufaatasi, Matthew Ryecroft. Na ia saunoa o le tulaga o le malo Suria, Iran ma Rusia i le taua lenei ua matua iloga le saua ae maise i fafine ma tamaiti sivili.

 

RYECROFT

"This is a dark day for the people of Aleppo. Surely the darkest of the past five years. (President) Assad's forces, propped up by Russia and Iran have once again redefined horror. They have gone from siege to slaughter. Today the United Nations has received reports that pro-government forces have been entering homes in eastern Aleppo. They've been going door-to-door executing people on the spot. 82 people murdered, 13 of whom were women, 11 were children, none were terrorists."

 

O le aofa'i o tagata na aumau i Suria ae le'i amataina le taua e ova i le 22 million. O le 'afa o i latou ua saili lafitaga i isi atunuu. E ova i le 400,000 tagata ua maliliu talu ona amata le taua i le 6 tausaga ua mavae.

 

A toe faoa e vaegaau a Suria Aleppo, ua tele le avanoa o le toe tumau o Bashar al Assad i le tofi ma faaauau lana faigamalo.

 

Ae na ta'ua e le sui o Amerika i malo aufaatasi Samantha Power, ua ia maua molimau o nisi o tagata ua ola i le mata'u me fefe i le i'uga o i latou i lalo o le pule a al Assad.

 

POWER

"A doctor named Muhammed Abu Rajab left a voice message: 'This is a final distress call to the world. Save the lives of these women and children and old men. Save them. Nobody is left. You might not hear our voice after this.' A photographer named Amin al-Halabi wrote on Facebook: 'I am waiting to die or be captured by the Assad regime. Pray for me and always remember us.'"

 

O loo teena e le sui o Suria i malo aufaatasi, Bashar Al Jaafari, tuuaiga o sauaga a le militari ma le faigamalo a Bashar al Assad.

 

Na ia ta'ua le osofaiga o Aleppo o se taua e faasaoloto ai le taulaga mai se faalapotpotoga terorisi.
