Another way of transferring the Syrian case to the UN

The Western and Gulf press, which has widely challenged the Arab League monitors, echoes the Qatari Prime Minister’s decision that this type of mission does not fall within the League’s competence. Then, the press reports on the Free Syrian Army commander’s request that the responsibility be passed to the United Nations.

Nobody seems to remember that the Arab League was relying on the mission’s report to seize the Security Council. No longer able to count on a report that will certify the guilt of the Assad government, the League would now expect the UN Secretary General to draft one with the desired slant and submit it to the Security Council.

Every day, the Western press has a nice story to tell. Today, it is the portrait of Fadwa Suleiman, a young actress who joined the revolution. She must not be all that famous since the Arabic newspapers assiduously recall her supporting role in a television series, just in case readers have a problem identifying her.
