So.. finally some good news? After months of back and forth, the UN Security Council is finally going to try and end the Syria Russia and China
Kofi Annan, former secretary general, had come up with the plan that would “facilitate a Syrian-led political transition to a democratic, plural political system, in which citizens are equal regardless of their affiliations or ethnicities or beliefs, including through commencing a comprehensive political dialogue between the Syrian government and the whole spectrum of the Syrian opposition.”
The statement is not entirely figured out and set in stone, and has caused some disagreements between Western and Arab countries, against Russia Russia had been a major supporter of the president of Syria Russia and China
How long do you think it will be until Syria
The UN Security Council will never agree on a measure that will end the civil war there unless China and Russia have new pro western governments thats whats stopping real progress not this Arab League team sent there to see things and have people shot right in front of their faces by snipers. Arabs have a history of not being democratic and be ruled by warlords or some strong arm leader who rules by force not by people's choice. Assad took over from his father when he was died June,10,2000 its a family rule like with Somoza in Nicargua during the Cold War. Democracy doesnt seem likely unless we send Special Forces to train them or send them weapons or both.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I have to agree with big smoke on this one. I doubt that external pressures will force Syria on a path of democracy. To me, that seems like something that has to happen on its own. It may have to do with the culture and religion of the area, Islam is very hierarchical and the government seems to follow that structure.
ReplyDeleteI think that if Syria does reach a democratic system it won't entirely work. I think they'd do well with a system of government similar to the UK - where there is a hierarchical figure head but still elected officials.
