FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The UN-Arab team proposed by the League would replace the 170 Arab observers
deployed in December and recalled last month. The Sudanese general who led
the mission, and was accused by opposition activists of bias towards the
regime, resigned yesterday.
The announcement marks an urgent effort to end the bloodshed after Russia and
China used their UN Security Council veto to block an Arab-drafted and
Western-backed plan to have Mr Assad replaced by a transitional government.
At the start of the session, Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, asked
the delegates: “How long will we stay as onlookers to what is happening
to the brotherly Syrian people, and how much longer will we grant the Syrian
regime one period after another so it can commit more massacres?”
As the Arab leaders met, rockets continued to fall on the Syrian opposition
stronghold of Homs. Activists reported more than 500 people have died there
since February 4.
The Syrian army was reportedly distributing gas masks to its soldiers, leading
to fears that chemical weapons will soon be used against protesters.
On Saturday, 31 people were killed across the country according to the
British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Of the ten who died in
Homs, nine were in the opposition neighbourhood of Baba Amro. Graphic
YouTube clips documenting casualties of the conflict flood show mutilated
and charred corpses – alleged victims of government shells.
One video posted on Twitter shows a doctor in Baba Amr struggling to treat the
gravely injured without even basic medical equipment. A makeshift hospital
has been erected in a mosque after the local field hospital was destroyed.
The doctor spoke to the camera over blasts of gunfire.
“This is a small mosque and there are a huge number of injured people.
All of these are serious injuries that resulted from bullets. Most of them
are unconscious,” he says pointing to several lifeless men lying on the
ground.
“Many children have been killed. The death toll up to now is around 40.”
On the same day in Damascus, opposition militants assassinated Dr Issa
al-Kholi, a Syrian General in charge of the Hameish military hospital.
Syria’s Arab News Agency reports that Dr Kholi was gunned down as he left
his home in the morning. He, like the ruling Assad family, was a member of
the elite Alawite Shia minority.
The conflict even spread to Tripoli, where on Saturday Lebanese forces moved
into stop clashes between Sunni and Alawite neighbours. Two people were
killed.
Saturday’s high death toll comes just one day after a coordinated suicide bomb
attack in Aleppo left 28 dead and 235 injured, according to government
figures. US intelligence has pointed to al-Qaeda as the likely culprits.
As the conflict in Syria enters its eleventh month, having so far claimed an
estimated 5,400 lives, the Arab League talked on Sunday about amassing a
force of up to 3,000 observers to halt violence. Arabi told ministers he had
already proposed the idea to the UN General Secretary.
Arab ministers are meanwhile engaged in intensive talks with Russia and China
in the hope they can encourage Bashar Assad to allow peacekeeping forces
into the country. Ends
