The peaceful civil protest which was started more than two years ago to bring changes in the economic and political spheres and ask government to be responsible against people now is changing to a global dilemma. The SANA, the state-run television of Syria has released reports about missile attacks of Israel on targets within Syria.
A similar airstrike was carried out in January inside the territory of Syria. However, Syria and its supporters hardly criticized the attack but Israel kept silence and made no official comments. This week, Israel confirmed its January attacks justifying its right to keep close watch over chemical weapon transportation.
Israeli officials frequently have claimed that it has the right to monitor and put close eye on the movements of Syrian weapons in order to ensure its security. Similarly, recently security situation in Iraq has deteriorated. The sectarian violence has increased tremendously in the country. Some analysts maintain that the rise of sectarian violence has linkage with ongoing security crisis in Syria.
On the other hand, Veteran Algerian diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN-Arab League envoy for Syria, has insisted throughout his career that there is no ‘hopeless situation’, but he has not managed to find a magical solution to end Syria’s civil war. And the 79-year-old Brahimi, who took on the job last August after predecessor and former UN chief Kofi Annan threw in the towel, is now ready to give up too.
Annan resigned on August 2, frustrated by the division between supporters in the West and the Arab world of those fighting to oust Bashar Al Assad and traditional backers of the Syrian president, principally Russia, China and Iran in the region.
‘He thinks that every step he takes is countered with 10 steps backwards by the Arab states. And now it looks like the Americans will increase their military support (to the rebels), so he feels that he is useless in his role,’ the aide said.
So, presently the prospective looks completely grim. The diplomatic options have lesser chance to work out in the country. Oppositions are increasingly getting out of control of particular country’s control. It is highly likely that many countries and insurgents are committed to end government by force without considering the consequences.
