Sukla ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Sadri - The Syria Campaign <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:41:45 +0000 Subject: Most read article in 2015 To: Sukla Sen <[email protected]> Dear Sukla, Thank you. Together we helped make ex-Isis hostage Nicolas Henin's important message a huge international story. Thousands of you shared the video on Facebook and Twitter before it was picked up by mainstream media and echoed around the world. On UK news site The Independent it has been viewed a staggering 4.3 million times, their most read article in the whole of 2015. [1] Covered by 200 outlets in 23 countries and shared by media editors and policy makers, it's helping to shift the debate. Of course no single article or film will end the fighting, but with the world's media and politicians focused on Syria, it is critical that we keep the message of protecting civilians at the top of the agenda. Every time somebody asks, "how do we defeat Isis?" send them Nicolas' video. If you haven't watched it yet, [1]you can see it here. [2]Nicolas Henin on Isis [Video: <http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/nicolas-henin-the-man-who-was-held-captive-by-isis-for-10-months-says-how-they-can-be-defeated-a6757336.html>] Communities in Syria have driven out Isis from many towns and villages in the past and they can do it again. But we must protect them from the biggest killer in Syria today: the aerial attacks from the regime of Bashar al-Assad and now Russia. The US-led coalition recently joined by France and the UK is doing nothing to stop these bombs from Assad or Putin, choosing to look the other way while the very communities driving out Isis are being targeted from the air. [2] It is this deep flaw in international policy that needs to be unpicked. If we do not stop this killing, we cannot stop Isis. Thank you for being an active part of this campaign. Every article you share and conversation you have is helping to shift this critical debate. Keep it up, James PS we're hiring two people to join the tiny team here. If you know someone who is an exceptional [3]press officer or [4]graphic designer, please encourage them to apply.
