India receives more foreign aid ($4.2B) from the West than any country in the world (mostly from Germany and Japan). Something is wrong!

Syria is still unable to rebuild basic infrastructure because of western sanctions. This is good for the people.

this world is going places my friend im telling you, honestly for all our bluffs about us being superior against nature we are deceiving ourselves as we are doing so many mistakes that even children won't...
we all have very unique hearts but instead of solving the problem in our way we, just try to stay the same and preserve status quo or fight each other over and get drowned in stimulation and simulation or noise there is almost no place for human heart and peaceable opinions, in our leaderships... almost.

That's long term infrastructure soft loans (especially from Japan), not aid in the normal sense. India has stopped taking aid for any tragedies from the last 5-7 years and is now sending aid to other countries

Syria is under sanction because it did stuff like use chemical weapons on its people

How about extremist Hindu Government supports muslim majority dictator and helps in building their nation with their seditious agenda through scholarships and jobs
FFS I can't still believe that any positive story is spun as a negative one by reddit diplomats

So being under sanctions means humanitarian aid needs to be denied??
MacronTheNecromancer t1_j2ez05u wrote
And those same people are suffering today because they can’t get building material to fix their broken shit.
What exactly do you think sanctions do? Who do you think they ultimately affect?

I am finding it really amusing how people from the west aren't able to digest the fact that nations in the east have the spine to stand up for themselves.

> Our consistent view in this regard has been that distribution of humanitarian assistance to Syrians, whether by crossline or cross-border mechanism, should be guided by needs-based assessments and not political motivations. Humanitarian assistance cannot be a matter of political expediency," she added..

Loans are not humanitarian aid lol

What does that even mean? India has been a nonaligned power since independence. It isn’t a surprise to anyone.

>She also said that India has been extending humanitarian, technical and developmental assistance to Syria through bilateral and multilateral channels. Consignments of food and medicines have been supplied to Syria from time to time, including during the pandemic.
Hiding on the technicalities are we?
Other sources Humanitarian aid to Syria
the_turdfurguson t1_j2f7hj4 wrote
The article is about India loaning money for steel and energy production. It wasn’t about other humanitarian aid.
You’re flailing.

The unquestionable faith some people have on their government and the media is quite astounding. Now, I can't say for sure whether he used chemical weapons, but from past experiences, it's imperative to say that any narrative coming out of the US government needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
The US government and media have been using the same old playbook of slapping human rights accusations, WMDs, chemical weapons, genocide etc. on countries it wants to toe their line.
Maybe you should also try to check what Assad has to say about it in his interviews. Just get the views from both sides.
Last time I checked there were women walking on the streets of Damascus without forced veils and without accompanied by a male. By removing Assad from Syria (one of the few secular ME countries) you're probably gonna bring ISIS there. Then it will become Afghanistan 2.0 but with much more deadlier ISIS.

It's a civil war, my dude, the government has been bombing anywhere there's resistance.
There was another nuclear reactor that was breeding fissile material that was destroyed by the Israeli air force.
Joudco's steel plant specifically was destroyed by the regime because "rebels" were "hiding" there.

I'm not even sure why India is bothering. Syria is about to be invaded by Turkey to cull the Kurdish presence in the area, just in time for Erdogan's approval rating to shoot back up before the election. Any money sunk into Syria right now will burn in the upcoming war.
