Abstract

This chapter examines siege from the perspective of the besieged and discusses the way in which siege follows civilians from within Syria to the places they seek refuge. The effects of siege extend far beyond an army’s stated objectives of military encirclement, and those involved in implementing besiegement extend far beyond the direct parties to a conflict. This chapter argues that political opponents separated by interests and ideologies are united in their use of siege tactics in the “war on terror” era. It analyzes a chain of complicity in generating and exploiting human suffering from Syria to its neighbors and from Europe to its international allies.
本章从被围困者的角度考察了围困,并讨论了围困从叙利亚境内跟随平民到他们寻求庇护的地方的方式。围困的影响远远超出了军队宣称的军事包围目标,参与实施围困的人也远远超出了冲突的直接当事方。本章认为,在“反恐战争”时代,被利益和意识形态分离的政治对手在使用围攻战术上是统一的。它分析了从叙利亚到其邻国,从欧洲到其国际盟友制造和利用人类苦难的一系列共谋。
