French Volunteer: Idlib - the last chance for the West to intervene in Syria

Syrian baby - tragic victim of chaotic war with no end in sight.

He fears new provocations from the militants, whose goal is to force Western countries to intervene, which would lead to further chaos in the country, where war has been raging for more than seven years.

"In Idlib there will be more than just a battle. This is the last chance for Western forces (including my France) to intervene in the situation in Syria, to find a pretext to be able to start a conflict of a more global nature. The day the battle of Idlib ends, the coalition - Europe and the United States - will lose the war in Syria, it will end".

Pierre Le Corf has been in Aleppo since the end of 2016, when the military operations began, and he says that since then, fighting has continued in the city. Idlib province is very close to Aleppo, so the city continues to be bombarded from the western suburbs, where, to this day, some areas are still controlled by jihadists. Local residents are used to this.

"People don't think about this, they've been living like this for years. They believe that all this won't stop soon. Instead of being scared, they'll just ignore all this. People are tired, they don't want to think about it, even if the fighting continues in Aleppo."

During the battle for Aleppo, Pierre Le Corf became a target of the French press. Because his statement that there were civilian casualties on both sides did not fit into the generally accepted view of the conflict in the media. He was then called an "organ of official propaganda" and accused of having links with "extremists".

“I don’t take sides, I don’t talk about politics, I’m talking about what’s really going on. People have assigned me the role of an expert in the conflict zone… But this is not like that. I’m just a human being, I have a small association, I help people and when I speak, I speak simply as a normal person, not as an expert in geopolitics.”
