FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Morocco’s UN envoy Mohammed Loulichki told reporters after Thursday’s council
meeting that he would deliver the new draft to the council and seek a vote
“as soon as possible.”
US Ambassador Susan Rice made clear that the council had once again failed to
reach an agreement. “We had what I would characterise as sometimes difficult
but ultimately useful discussions,” she said. “We’re still working. This is
not done.”
Churkin told reporters that Thursday’s inconclusive negotiations were
“something of a roller-coaster.”
“We have a text which we are going to report to our capitals,” he said. He
declined to provide details but suggested how Russia might vote remained an
open question. He said the fact that the draft could reach the council “does
not pre-judge anything in any way.”
Colombian Ambassador Nestor Osorio said council members would continue their
discussions on Friday.
Submitting what some diplomats say is a final draft resolution does not
necessarily mean a vote is imminent and further revisions could follow.
France said it foresaw a vote on Friday, Saturday or Monday at the latest.
Russia has balked at any language that would open to door to “regime change”
in Syria, its most important Middle Eastern ally over the almost
half-century that Assad’s family has ruled it.
Assad has been locked in struggle with a revolt against his rule for the past
11 months, with at least 5,000 deaths by a United Nations count.
