Syria unrest: Arab League urges Assad to reform


The Arab League has called for an end to the ongoing violence and bloodshed in Syria. Heads of the League are asking for reform. Currently, the Arab League has a controversial monitoring mission in place because of Syria's continued broken promises to keep the peace. Military intervention has not been recommended at this time. At the conference, the reform plan was said to call upon,

"...President Bashar al-Assad to delegate power to his vice-president to engage in proper dialogue with the opposition within two weeks, and form a government of national unity in two months."

The Arab Leagues would like to see multi-party elections in the next few months.
