Wikileaks: Syria Files
Wikileaks, Syria Files: Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.
Every document will help historians and human rights activists to reconstruct the "real history" of Asia, and especially of those countries with internal conflicts. Perhaps it will be not "The Historic Truth" yet, but thanks to these new documents we can reconsider the history and the news we are told and everything will be more truthful.
