As a follow up to my previous post, things seem to have reached a boiling point in Syria:
The observer mission has been abandoned by the Gulf Co-Operation Council. The Council (part of the Arab League) has called upon the United Nations to put pressure onto Damascus to end the violent crackdown against the ongoing protests.
Syria rejected the Arab League's plan for president Bashar Al-Assad to step down and hold elections.
The Foreign Minister for Syria (Mullam) claims that the Arab Leagues has joined in Western conspiracies to destabilize the country and has failed to mention the recent decrease in violence.\
However, Mullam did not say there would be an end to the crackdown stating,
"It is the duty of the Syrian government to take the necessary measures to address the problem of those armed elements who are wreaking havoc throughout Syria."
None of this seems to bode well and it seems that changes to the Syrian government won't be made any time soon.
