Syria

Not Again!!

Syrian violence has hit a critical point. The Syrian government has now started to lay landmines around villages to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching its citizens. The Syrian government has also tightened up security around the border to prevent evacuees from fleeing. There have been unconfirmed reports of attacks from the Free Syrian Army which supposedly killed six government soldiers. The attacks from the opposition could very well be a precursor to civil war in Syria. The opposition has claimed they are smuggling in weapons from various outside sources. The United Arab League drew up a plan which would end violence in Syria but the Assad government has taken no actions to help.

If the Syrian government does not start taking active steps in enforcing policies of non- violence and civil war is very possible. The Arab League and other surrounding countries must do what they can to try and avoid western involvement. It is now time that Middle Eastern problems are settled in the region. The Arab League must be ready to step in to prevent continued violence to the people of Syria. Western countries should not get involved anymore. The Arab League needs to find a collective solution fast and do its best to prevent a civil war that could lead to more bloodshed.
