Britain seeking ‘civil war’ in Syria

The UK government, its western allies and some Arab stooges in the Middle East region have imposed sanctions on Syria one year after the country was faced with an internal rebellion.

The UK is also providing military and financial support to armed terror groups inside the Arab country, who are engaged in a battle to overthrow the popular government of Bashar al-Assad.

This comes as Russia has said that the West was undermining the work of international peace envoy Kofi Annan, warning Britain and her allies not to arm Syria’s rebels as a deadline for implementing an international peace plan approaches.

The warning came as President Assad began to abide by the terms of the former UN Secretary General’s peace initiative and withdraw his tanks and troops from besieged towns.

However, the British government and its allies are beating the drums of war to topple president al-Assad’s government.

But within the UK itself there’s little appetite for another foreign intervention, especially at a time of economic crisis at home.

The anti-war movement in Britain has stressed its opposition to any outside intervention in Syria, saying that outside intervention would only plunge Syria into a civil war.

At a meeting of anti-war activists in London, speakers stressed that they support reforms in Syria, but they said that foreign intervention is already driving Syria into civil war and viscous sectarianism, with the voices of genuine reformers being drowned out.

Speakers at the conference stressed that change must come to Syria and the political system must become more accountable and democratic, but they warned that destroying the country will not achieve that.
