massacre of christians
|
In October of 2013, the US-backed terrorist group, "Free Syrian Army", a Muslim Brotherhood group, alongside al-Qaeda in Syria (aka al-Nusra), conducted a large-scale massacre of Christians in Sadad, a town about 100 miles north of Damascus. |

45 civilians were killed in Sadad
This would have normally been called a terrorist attack, but western media never reported this terror attack on civilians because it was conducted by U.S. backed terrorist groups and covered up by propaganda groups disguised as human rights groups (1). Among those murdered were women and children, many of whom were tossed into mass graves. Many of Sadad's residents were tortured and strangled in the streets. |

At the beginning of the conflict in 2011, the U.S. administration tried to make you believe that "rebels" were fighting to "free" Syria and form a democracy -- but Syrian civilians were targeted throughout Syria and murdered in mass numbers by these "rebel" groups. The "rebel" groups, now called "opposition" groups, were terrorist groups.
For one week, more than 1,500 families were held as hostages by the terrorists.
Some of the villagers escaped and traveled on foot for 5 miles to the village of al-Hafer, only able to take a few items of clothing because they were running for their lives.
Civilians unable to escape were subjected to torture.
One family was tortured and then thrown alive in a well to slowly die. The bodies were recovered when the Syrian Army was finally able to recapture Sadad and rescue the remaining survivors. The family members were an elderly grandfather, 85, his wife, 75, their daughter 45, her children 18, 16, and the paternal grandmother, 90 years old.
Those who could not get out quickly enough to escape the Free Syrian Army (Muslim Brotherhood) and al-Qaeda, were forced to live without electricity, water or telephones--as these are the things the "rebels" shut down immediately when they take a village or city.
Every single house in Sadad was robbed and the property vandalized. The churches were severely damaged and artifacts destroyed, including historical bibles and records, and also valuable furnishings and ancient artefacts.
Schools were demolished, as well as the hospital and the clinic.

This Massacre at Sadad was the largest massacre of Christians in Syria at the time, and was the second largest massacre in the Middle East--after the massacre at the Church of Our Lady of Salvation in Iraq in 2010.
Sadad is an ancient city and is mentioned in the books of Numbers and Ezekiel in the Bible. It was home to many historic landmarks and archaeological sites--before the rebels destroyed them.

Syrians in Damascus made a public outcry about the massacres--hoping the western media would tell their story. They expected the world to see that the Islamists were not for "freedom" and that they attack civilians. But this story, among so many over the last years, has never been told.
People in this photo also held signs stating their solidarity with the Syrian Army who died defending Sadad. They held a candlelight sit-in that evening for those killed. |

After battles that lasted months, Sadad was finally recaptured by the Syrian Army’s 4th Mechanized Division. Immediately following full recapture, thousands of Sadad residents who had escaped and who were living in government protected areas, were able to return to their homes.
After the recapture of Sadad and the return of some of its residents, the Syrian Armed Forces began to train and arm every citizen who volunteered to join the civilian-led “National Defense Forces”. Within just a few months time, the number of National Defense Forces members from Sadad grew to over 4,000 men and women.
In 2016, members of the National Defense Force from Sadad went to Aleppo to liberate Aleppo from the Free Syrian Army and al-Qaeda. Aleppo was liberated by the Syrian Army and National Defense Forces in December 2016. They Syrian Armed Forces do not use chemical on their people--they rescue and liberate fellow Syrians from terrorist armies.
