Un récit accablant pour ceux qui voudraient ne pas y croire... Le gouvernement britannique (et le français aussi, mais là il n’y a pas encore de données) finançait secrètement les plumes de la révolution syrienne, en gros pour la bonne raison que cela permettait de contrer les voix trop radicales (financées par le Golfe, mais l’article ne le dit pas).
“It was a shady, shady business,” says one person involved in the work, adding that frequently the individual journalist would believe they were working for an opposition group, and have no idea that a British communications company was running their media office, under contract to the UK government.
A second person involved with the initiative added that if you hired Syrians “to pump out propaganda, inside Syria and outside”, attributing their work in any way to the British government would have undermined its effectiveness.
