Tomahawk Missiles: Syria and Government Forces

tomahawk missiles: The U.S. fired nearly 60 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian air base early Friday, days after a chemical attack widely blamed on government forces killed nearly 90 people in the opposition-held northern town of Khan Sheikhoun, according to Metro News. Opponents of Assad welcomed the move, but many in Little Syria feel that more should be done to end the grinding, six-year civil war. In the Aksaray neighbourhood now known as Little Syria the signs are in Arabic, the cuisine is seasoned with nostalgia and the weary residents are hoping for change after the first U.S. strike on President Bashar Assad's forces. We are fed up of bombings, what we already lived through is enough, said Samer Maydani, who hails from Damascus and owns a coffee shop in Little Syria. After seven years of destroying us, we don't trust anyone, he said. We need political solutions through the U.N. and the Security Council. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
