FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
In an unusually strong intervention, China gave warning that Western support
for the overwhelmingly Sunni opposition in Syria could tilt the country into
civil war.
“If Western countries continue fully to support Syria’s opposition, then
in the end a large-scale civil war will erupt and there will be no way this
to avoid the possibility of foreign armed intervention,” the People’s
Daily, the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, wrote in a front-page
commentary.
The Middle East’s regional sectarian divide has also grown more stark as the
Syrian crisis has worsened. Iran, the region’s most powerful Shia state, has
shown little sign of softening its support for Mr Assad, whose Alawite
minority is an offshoot of Shia Islam.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and its Sunni allies in the Gulf have grown
increasingly strident in their opposition to Mr Assad to the point of
favouring regime change, an outcome that would significantly weaken Iran’s
regional clout.
Enjoying the support of Iran and Russia, Mr Assad has shown little willingness
to end the violence against his own people, despite growing pressure from
the Arab League. Activists in Syria yesterday reported a large army build up
around the restive cities of Homs and Hama, raising fears that the president
is preparing to order fresh offensives against both. The Red Cross said it
was attempting to negotiate a pause in the fighting to allow humanitarian
supplies into vulnerable parts of the country.
