Rome – Twenty-three seconds of videos posted on YouTube December 31 document that, after five months in captivity, the deal for the life of Greta Ramelli and Vanessa Marzullo, the two young volunteers for the “Project Horryaty” seized the gates of Aleppo on July 31, has entered its most delicate phase. And not so much not only to the words that the two girls, veiled in black, are forced to read in English in front of the lens of a camera (“We implore our government and its mediators to bring us back home before Christmas. We in grave danger and could be killed. Our government and mediators are responsible for our lives “) and that somehow seem to want to communicate an urgency to” close “. But the manner and timing in which the kidnappers have decided to offer evidence of the existence in the lives of their hostages. That says something about what is happening in these hours and complicated “management̶ 1; of the seizure.
If you have to keep very little that the sources of our Intelligence allow to filter the video in fact dates back to the end of November and the date of December 17, handwritten on a sheet shown by the girls, should have been the intention of the kidnappers one chosen for the publication of the images on YouTube. So it was not because the movie would have known a winding path, before landing in the net. A demonstration of a management “collective” of the seizure because of which, at this time, each of the factions involved in the prison and that claims a “right to speak” on the fate of the two girls, feels the need to assert and weigh their decisions . A circumstance that makes evidently the “negotiation” particularly laborious and, above all, exposes the attempts of those who, despite not having in hand the two aid workers, he claims control if only to get a turn in the game and cash out dividends. Were also only po liticians. And ‘the case of “Al Nusra Front”, articulation Al Qaeda in Syria, yesterday, through one of its members who qualified German news agency DPA as Abu Fadel, claimed to be her to “take captive girls” as retaliation for ‘commitment of our country in the “attacks in Syria just against Al Nusra Front”. A circumstance which, also yesterday, was accredited in London also Rami Abdel Rahman, a spokesman for the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group close to the opposition (“I received information confirming that” Al Nusra Front “holds the two women Italian kidnapped in the western suburbs of Aleppo “), but that in the apparatus of our Intelligence is only denials.
For five months now, in fact, Greta Ramelli and Vanessa Marzullo would never have been “sold” by those who have seized on July 31 at the gates of Aleppo. Are therefore still in the hands of men gravitated in that front composite that goes by the name of “Free Syrian Army”, component considered moderate in the face of the insurgents to the Assad regime. The same men with whom, a few days after the seizure, our Intelligence knotted negotiations whose wire has never been lost, and that, not later than one month ago, seemed destined to lead to the conclusion of the kidnapping in the days before Christmas. An outcome that has suddenly complicated and has seen the times lengthen again just for that “collective management” of the seizure by the various souls Free Syrian Army.
All of this explains why then, the families of Greta and Vanessa, as indeed qualified sources of Government and Intelligence and the same House speaker Laura Boldrini, insist at this time in the appeal to a “silence responsible by the media “that” allows to successfully conclude this delicate phase of the negotiations. ” Take the video to the reassuring part which also shows (the girls are alive and the kidnappers confirm their willingness to deal with, so as to tell Salvatore Marzullo, father of Vanessa, that there are “grounds for optimism”). And you spend to prevent a negotiated objectively already very complicated to turn into a “reality” or, worse, in a market where the price of freedom of the girls is continually renegotiated.
They will obviously crucial the next few days. In the awareness (apparently shared by both sides of the negotiation) that the passage of time, at this point, does not play in favor of anyone. Especially, threatens to materialize that ghost, far exorcised, a handover of the hostages. With all that this would mean.
