European Union
Because of sanctions against Syria, children are dying of treatable cancer. Buried in a report in England's Daily Mirror newspaper, the responsibility of the "outside world's sanctions" is mentioned but readers are not told that the outside world means the European Union and the USA.

Lots of blame is devoted to Russia but there is no mention of England or America. Ethically, there can be no defense of withholding cancer drugs in this miserable civil war but how are people to know what their governments are doing if they are not told? In future, the ordinary English reader will have to understand that the "outside world" is their own politicians.
