Mr Obama said he was encouraged by developments out of Tunisia on Friday,
where more than 60 nations, in a unified bloc, asked the United Nations to
begin planning a civilian peacekeeping mission that would deploy after the
Assad regime halts its brutal crackdown on the opposition.
The Tunisia meeting is the latest international effort to end the crisis,
which began when protesters inspired by uprisings sweeping across the Arab
world took to the streets in some of Syria’s impoverished provinces nearly a
year ago to demand political change.
President Assad’s security forces have responded with a fierce crackdown.
There is no end in sight.
