Aleppo nun accuses media of ignoring Assad’s victimsA religious sister who lives in Aleppo questioned why Western journalists are focusing on civilians killed by the Assad regime and its allies in attacks on rebel-held areas to the exclusion of civilians killed by rebels in areas controlled by the Syrian government.
