Syria Crisis: William Hague presses Russia
Posted by seumasach on May 28, 2012
Hague’s call for Russia to resolve the crisis is an interesting one. Russia don’t share Hague’s line that Assad is behind these killings and suggest that Al Qaeda type elements are more likely responsible. The UN report hints that the massacre is connected to government bombardment but that doesn’t seem consistent with the injuries sustained. Russia doesn’t support Britain’s regime change agenda and is definitely not soft on Al Qaeda.
“It isn’t in the interests of Russia, it’s not in anyone’s interests, for Syria to descend into an even bloodier situation and into a full-scale civil war and that’s now the danger.”
If this is a threat designed to force Russia into removing Assad I suggest it is a futile one.

La balle a pénétré le corps de mon frère avant d’exploser dans ses poumons, dit un jeune chrétien qui a pu s’évader de Kossayr (ou Qusayr) et s’installer à Damas. Mon frère, ajoute-il, était ingénieur civil. Il s’est rendu ce 18 février 2012 à Kossayr pour nous dire au revoir avant de regagner l’Allemagne, où il poursuivait ses études. Arrivé ce jour-là en ville, il s’est retrouvé au milieu d’un accrochage entre les forces de l’ordre et des milices terroristes. Pas loin de la maison familiale, un policier gravement blessé avait besoin de l’aide. Mon frère s’est dirigé vers lui pour le secourir. Mais il ne savait pas que la mort l’attendait. Une balle a été tirée par un franc-tireur.

“We should hold all the responsible ones accountable and have them face justice even if it has connection to some permanent members at the UN Security Council,” he added. “Those who are very interested in halting violence and making the comprehensive national dialogue in Syria a success should stop interfering in our internal affairs and should stop arming , hosting, funding and protecting the armed terrorist groups in my country,” said al-Jaafari, adding that “No one can ignite fire and be the firefighter at the same time and, unfortunately, this is the case for many UNSC member states.”

Before UN monitors even arrived in Houla, Syria, northwest of Homs and close to the Lebanese border where it is now admitted that militant extremists, cash, and weapons had been freely flowing for months, the US, UK, and France were already calling for the “international community” to move against the Syrian government, in the latest effort to justify further meddling in the Middle Eastern nation.
