A curious aspect of Tony Karon’s analysis is that he tosses the Syrian ball into the court of the Arab governments.

The presidential election campaign is reaching fever pitch in the United States, but for Africans the zeal, pomp, zest and funfair over Barack Obama’s prospects of winning is non-existent. Unlike Obama’s first election campaign, Africans have nothing to celebrate about, for, they now know Obama as just another American president, pushing the same natural resources exploitation agenda.

Plus que jamais, Beijing appelle à une résolution pacifique et politique de la situation syrienne, même comme sur le terrain, les forces de Bachar Al-Assad sont entrain, petit à petit, d’éradiquer la vermine terroriste. Alors que la Chine a réitéré, hier, par la voix de son ministre des Affaires étrangères Yang Jiechi, que, son pays ne tolèrera aucune ingérence étrangère dans les affaires syriennes, c’est déjà le cas. Il a exhorté par la même les Syriens à s’entendre en suivant le plan de l’Envoyé spécial de la Ligue arabe et de de l’ONU en Syrie Lakhdar Brahimi. Et, surprise, un autre son de cloche vient de Grande Bretagne.

(AGI) Berlin – NATO has no intention to launch a military intervention in Syria. The statement was made on Thursday by Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen who explained that the situation in Syria is completely different from the one in Libya. “In Libya we intervened on the basis of a UN mandate and we had strong support throughout the region, nothing of which relates to Syria”. “From a religious, ethnic and political standpoint, the Syrian society is also much more complex than the Libyan one and therefore an intervention would have incalculable consequences in the region. The best solution for Syria is a political one”. .
