This Child's Shocking Image Has Become the New Face of Syria's Disastrous WarThe video will break your heart. (Syria)—[CBN News] It's a video image that is touching hearts and minds around the world, one that refocuses attention on the Syrian civil war. (Photo: via Jerusalem Post) Rescuers pulled 5-year old Omran Daqneesh from the rubble of his bombed out apartment building in Aleppo. Injured and in shock as a result of a Syrian government air strike, the boy wipes his brow and discovers that he is bleeding. The images were captured by Aleppo Media Center, a group that has documented human rights atrocities committed by the Assad regime. They included the continued use of cluster bombs and chemical weapons despite President Obama's drawing of a red line against their use three years ago. Under threat of U.S. air strikes, the Syrian government backed down and said it would either turn over, or destroy its chemical weapons stockpile. Although evidence suggests the government is still using the weapons, the U.S. has taken no action to stop the regime. Fighting has intensified in Aleppo, Syria's second largest city where the government wants a victory against anti-regime rebels. A major win here may lead to an end of the five-and-a half year- old war, and the suffering of millions like little Omran. But on-again, off again peace talks in Geneva center on one major issue: President Assad and his government being forced from power. Many people here in Damascus and Christians included say they want Bashar Al Assad to stay. But the opposition negotiators meeting in Geneva say there won't be peace until he goes. And that may cause the war to drag on for many months—and maybe even years to come.
