FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Juppe expressed his desire for minority Alawites and Christians to unite
with the insurgents. Syria’s Christians, many of whom fear persecution at
the hands of government authorities if they dissent, were told “their future
would be better in a democratic Syria.”
Russia, the main supplier of weapons to Assad’s forces, has encouraged the
government to cooperate with the United Nations and Arab League envoy Kofi
Annan, who is tasked with helping end the conflict.
Mr Annan began briefing the UN Security Council via videolink at 2.00 p.m.
today from Geneva. He plans to send a team to Damascus next week, whose aim
is to discuss proposals for deploying international monitors, according to
Ahmad Fawzi, Mr Annan’s spokesman.
The Syrian government also sent a letter to the UN and Security Council today,
stating that they will continue to fight the rebels, who they term
“terrorists”, while also stressing its cooperation with Mr Annan. It called
“on all countries and organisations which combat terrorism… to apply
pressure on all known parties to stop their support for terrorism and halt
the bloodshed.”
Meanwhile, rebel forces have begun a renewed offensive in various locations
throughout Syria, including near the capital of Damascus, just hours ahead
of rallies attended by tens of thousands of anti-Assad demonstrators.
Clashes have already resulted in casualties, activists have said, with the
Syrian army shelling the rebel-held town of Rastan near Homs in central
Syria, and fighting in the oil-rich regions near the border with Iraq.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitor based in Britain, currently
puts the number of deaths since the conflict began 12 months ago at 9,113.
