Kassioun Editorial 1221: A Dose of Hope!

The clashes Syrian heroes in Daraa province waged against the Zionist incursion, and the accompanying and subsequent solidarity, sympathy, mutual support, and appreciation from all Syrians inside Syria and abroad, prove that the Syrian people themselves are the ones capable of resolving the various problems facing Syria, most notably the issues of sovereignty, livelihood, dignity, and civil peace. This is not only because they are first and foremost concerned with their right to self-determination, but also because the actual implementation of this right can only be achieved by Syrians themselves, through getting together, dialogue, consensus, and cooperation. The solution was not and will not be external, rather, it is necessarily internal. Furthermore, the solution will not come at the hands of “supermen” and extraordinary heroes, but rather at the hands of the Syrian people, united as one unified people who take control of their own destiny and solve their various problems through cooperation and solidarity.
