The Christian Front strongly condemns the ongoing attacks targeting our Christian people in Syria, which began before the bombing of St. Elias Church and continued afterward, due to the absence of accountability and the government’s failure to take decisive measures against the perpetrators.
The Front considers the justification of these crimes under the pretext of “unruly groups” unacceptable, as it has become a cover for the violation of Christian families in many areas.
The Front also denounces the marginalization of Christian parties and forces through their exclusion from genuine consultations or national partnership, at a time when Syria needs all of its components.
The Front calls on Syrian President Mr. Ahmed Shar’a and his government to intervene seriously and decisively to put an end to these violations and to guarantee the presence and participation of Christians as essential partners in shaping Syria’s future. Christians are the country’s historical roots and authentic civilization, and they will not accept being treated as the weakest or most vulnerable link.
The Front clearly warns that the continuation of this marginalization and leniency toward aggressors may push it to adopt escalatory measures that will serve no one’s interest. The patience of Christians should not be mistaken for weakness, but rather seen as a commitment to preserving a pluralistic, united, and strong Syria.
