Western media failing the Christians of the Middle East


The Western Media and governments particularly our own foreign minister Boris Johnston surprise surprise are a complete failure when it comes to helping Christians under Islamic pressure.
Here is a post from Novae Epistulae.

“The situation for my community, for my region is terrible”

Terrorism, bombing, kidnapping, destruction, we can find all of this in Jeanbart’s words, he is the Melkite Catholic Archbishop of Aleppo.










“The situation for my community, for all the regions, is terrible: terrorism, bombing, kidnappings, destruction, lack of food, medicines, water and electricity”. This is what Melkite Catholic Archbishop Jean-Clement Jeanbart of Aleppo told in an exclusive interview with Matchman News, the information portal by Novae Terrae Foundation.
“International efforts in Syria? Almost non-existent”.



He sadly comments and adds that “the international pressure is almost non- existent too: lots of words but no results. It looks like if they don’t want to stop a war because it matches with their interests, they will make it happen. Why would we ask to stop it then?”


In Syria, in the Middle East in general there is a tragic situation and it depends on incomprehensible choices that the West does; it has come off the rail.



In 2014, 2015 and 2016 Novae Terrae Foundation promoted and submitted nearly 500,000 signatures to European and International institutions asking them to act in defense of religious freedom of Catholics and religious minorities in the Middle East.






A lot of little steps have been done: the declaration on genocide at the EU parliament, the one at Eu council, at the US congress, at the British Parliament. More and more efforts are necessary to hear the voice of our tormented brothers in the Middle East and in Africa.



This is the first of a series of interviews that Matchman News is going to publish to give a voice to the Archbishops in all those communities no one listens to with no reason. Let alone main stream media; they are busy shouting, warring for a picture or the news that show children involved, but they can forget everything easily within one hour.



Novae Terrae chose to undertake this big effort with Matcamn News, but there always are many economic problems. Anyway it is important to do it in this schizophrenic West world and give the opportunity to talk to people that are directly involved in this tragedy.



The foundation has already launched a petition in September to support Patriarchs’ in Damascus appeal to stop useless Syrian economic sanctions: war keeps going on but there is no relief for people.



Novae Terrae continues this effort, but your help is necessary. Contributions are important so that these actions keep going and new one can start. You can donate 15, 25 or 50 euro (or any other amount that you like to give us).

Thanks for the help that you can give. One last action: please forward this email to all people that share your view, they will understand for sure and will thank you.



Sursum corda!
