Images dramatic, but that feed the hope: a video posted on YouTube shows the two Italian volunteers Horryaty founders of the association, to assist civilian victims of the conflict in Syria, Greta Ramelli (20 years) and Vanessa Marzullo (21), kidnapped in Syria on July 31. The video was shot on 17 December. “We Greta Ramelli and Vanessa Marzullo,” says Greta in English with a strong Italian accent and dropping his eyes. “We implore our government and its brokers bring us back home before Christmas. We are in extreme danger and could be killed, “he continues in a tone tried. “The government and its mediators are responsible for our lives,” concludes Greta never look at the camera while the other young Italian stares for a few seconds.
Compared to photographs circulated on the web before kidnapping, girls appear skinny and very experienced. The link to the video posted today on YouTube was posted by an Arab journalist, Zaid Benjamin, on twitter (zaidbenjamin) and then picked up by many other profiles, with the hashtag #Syria A Video shows two Italian hostages believed they were aid workers held by Jabhat Al-Nusra Front .
As mentioned, the video seems authentic, even though nothing is confirmed for the moment: the pictures show the two girls wearing a long black robe that covers their body and hair, but leaves the face ( abaya ). The speaker is only one of them, presumably Greta Ramelli, while the other, Vanessa Marzullo, holding a sign which reads the date of Wednesday, December 17, 2014. But even in this case nothing confirms the authenticity of the data, in the absence external elements thunderstorms as the presence of a newspaper.
Services: negotiations “in a very delicate phase”
“There are no words, after seeing that video I have no words. ” Salvatore Marzullo, the father of Vanessa, responded well, at first, his voice cracking with emotion and pain after seeing, after months of silence, his face frightened daughter. In later said: “It seems that Vanessa and Greta are pretty well though in a difficult condition.” But “we are happy to have seen, we are optimistic.” At the Foreign Ministry, said even the father of Vanessa, “are continuing their work,” the family of Greta and Vanessa do is, once again, have to wait. The deal, meanwhile, is “in a very delicate phase: let us work in silence,” is the invitation came from an Italian intelligence source.
The expert Margelletti: the most probable hypothesis to Nusra Front
The video of the two Italian volunteers’ has a very clear symbolism ‘and states that’ the two girls are in the hands of an Islamist group that refers directly to Al Qaeda, which, in relation to Western women, who can not have an approach of that kind. So an attitude of total submission that should also be read in key media, for the message he wants to send. ” It is the contention of Andrea Margelletti, president of the Center for International Studies (Ce.SI).
According to the expert, “the hypothesis of Al Nusra Front, is really the most likely,” although “it is ironic that we should be happy that the girls are in the hands of Al Qaeda rather than men of ‘Is’. And it is “indisputable that the video is the result of a negotiation between our intelligence and local realities and only those who made it has no idea of the intrinsic meaning of the message and is able to interpret them fully.” Moreover, he concludes, “the Aise in recent years has had a string of hits, just because our intelligence has evidently operators can better know how to read the local dynamics.”
