Earlier this week an attack in the post of Latakia left 11 of the Arab League's observers injured; however, now, after running into some difficulties with their mission, it has delayed sending more observers to Syria. In fact, Qatar's leader, who is a key supporter of the league, has stated that there will most likely not be a positive outcome for the mission. Moreover, even the New York-based Human Rights Watch group is asking the league to reconsider it's mission considering the fact that it has not done anything to urge the Syrian government to go through with the peace deal that it had originally agreed upon. With no clear efforts by the league to protect civilians many argue that there will only be more death. According to opposition groups 24 people around the country have died on Wednesday including a French TV reporter. Moreover, according to the UN, since the unrest began last March over 5,000 people have been killed.
