SANA publishes daily news and articles in English, French, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic. On July 19, it was unavailable. Days earlier it couldn't be accessed.
On July 20, it was up only for a short time. It's struggling to keep operating despite relentless efforts to silence it. Other Syrian media have also been attacked. If they had nothing important to say, they'd be ignored.
Meanwhile, scoundrel media war on Syria continues relentlessly. On July 18, The New York Times headlined "Washington Begins to Plan for Collapse of Syrian Government," saying:
"Pentagon officials were in talks with Israeli defense officials about whether Israel might move to destroy Syrian weapons facilities."
Obama's national security adviser, Thomas Donilon, discussed plans with Israeli officials last weekend. Obama tried pressuring Putin by phone. A White House statement said significant differences remain between the two leaders.
On July 18, a Times editorial headlined "Assassination in Damascus" practically gloated about it, saying:
Assad wages "bloody war against his people..convinced he (can) weather the storm." In other words, murdering top officials is fair game to prove him wrong.
Russia was also denounced for "abetting Mr. Assad's killing spree by supplying him with helicopters (and) stubborn(ly) support(ing him)."
Suppressed was Washington's complicity in supplying Western-recruited deaths squads with heavy weapons, munitions, funding, training, and direction.
