Arabs Mull, Assads Kill!

As the Arab League mulls the possibility of referring its proposal on the Syrian Crisis to the Security Council, the Assad’s killing machine continues its operations.  

Saturday 17, 2011

Today’s death toll: 40. The Breakdown: 13 in Homs City, 5 in Qseir in Homs Province, 6 in Kafar Shams in Deraa/Hauran,  3, including 2 children in Kafar Sajnah in Idlib Province, Rural Damascus and Deir Ezzor.  

Loyalists armed with 50 tanks continue to sweep operations in Idlib. Clashes were reported in Deir Ezzor and Deraa. Sweep operations were conducted in Arbeen Suburb and other areas in rural Damascus. 

Meanwhile, the general strike continues to be observed throughout protest communities.

But across the region and in Western capitals there are fears that Assad's opponents are not ready to take power, and that Syria's ethnic and sectarian mosaic could disintegrate and plunge the country of 22 million into chaos unless a way is found to smooth the transition. "The key priority is for the opposition inside and outside (Syria) to come together, become a more credible option and include all sects and get their coordination right. Turkey is working on that," a senior Western diplomat in Ankara told Reuters. "What worries them is that if Assad went today there will be more chaos, more destruction and they don't know who will emerge and they want the opposition to be ready."
The violent repression of citizens in Syria is escalating, and can now be linked to named officials of the regime. This reinforces the case for concerted international pressure to end the suffering, says David Mepham.
