Syria's controversial foreign Minister, Walid Muallem who accused the West of starting the deadly conflict in his country dies at 79
Walid Muallem, Syria's controversial Minister and stalwart of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, is dead at the age of 79.
There were no details on the cause of death which was announced by the state media, but the 79-year old had for years been in poor health with heart problems.
The veteran diplomat who had been foreign minister since 2006, started his career in the diplomatic service in 1964. In 2012, a year after Syria’s deadly conflict started, he was also made deputy prime minister.
AFP reported that In press conferences, he was known for his mocking stances against the West who he accused of conspiring to start Syria’s conflict. Recall that Syria erupted into civil war nearly a decade ago after Assad in 2011 began a brutal crackdown on protesters calling for an end to his family’s rule.
Al-Muallem accused Washington and the West of fueling the country’s unrest and labelled armed insurgents as “terrorists” in a conflict that has led to the death of thousands and exodus of millions of refugees.
He was targeted by US sanctions as early as August 2011, less than six months after the eruption of protests demanding regime change — demonstrations that the Syrian authorities brutally repressed.
During more than half a century in the foreign service, he held posts in Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Spain and the United Kingdom, among other countries. He was appointed ambassador to Romania in 1975, five years after Bashar al-Assad’s father Hafez came to power.
Muallem was Syria’s envoy in Washington throughout the 1990s and also led Damascus’ peace talks with Israel during that same period. He is also a father of three children.
#EndSARS: Targeting and arresting citizens on trumped-up charges is a sign of regression- Tunde Bakare tells FG
Clergyman and presidential hopeful, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has kicked against the arrest of some of the EndSARS protesters as well as the freezing of some of their bank accounts via an ex-parte order gotten by the CBN
On November 4, the Central Bank of Nigeria obtained an order from the Federal High Court Abuja to freeze the accounts of 19 persons and a public affairs company linked to the #EndSARS protests.
Joining other Nigerians to condemn the move, Pastor Bakare while speaking in his church on Sunday, November 15, said the recent action of the government contradicts “the olive branch” it extended to the youth in the wake of the protests. According to the clergyman, targeting and arresting citizens on trumped-up charges is a sign of regression.
“Some of the actions recently taken by the government on the heels of the #EndSARS protests may need to be reversed sooner rather than later in our collective best interest so that they do not trigger further protests.
Among such policy actions is the freezing of the accounts of young Nigerians who reportedly sponsored the protests. While I admit that, under our extant laws, banks may freeze an account upon an ex parte order granted to a law enforcement agency by a court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of an investigation, these provisions of our Law should not be used to intimidate Nigerian youth simply because they engaged in and promoted protests against the inactions of government
Targeting and arresting citizens on trumped-up charges, deploying court probes as a tool of intimidation, and generally eroding our fragile peace, are deeply worrisome signs of regression.”
To extend the olive branch to the youth in one breath and to deprive the youth of the right to freedom of movement and property as enshrined in our constitution in another breath, will send confusing signals and cast doubts in their minds regarding the sincerity of the government.”he said
