News has it that Brahimi is going to resign.Western corporate lying media is attempting to have you believe it is because of Syria and Assad.Don't you believe it.....What is the real reason behind the reason for Brahimi's exit?The United Nations Security Council is to hold a session on Syria on April 18th in which international envoy Lakhadr Brahimi will present a report on his mission. Meanwhile a report said that the Algerian diplomat is likely to resign following a disputed with the Arab League over the Syrian crisis.The Russian news agency ITAR-TASS quoted a diplomatic source as saying that observers believe that Brahimi will voice concern in his report over the serious disagreements with the Arab League resulting from the Arab summit which was held in Doha on March 26-27.Qatar granted Damascus’ seat at the Arab League foreign-backed opposition and the so-called "transitional government" and green-lighted the arming of terrorist groups in Syria.The agency also cited Russian experts who said that Brahimi is likely to resign, pointing out to Arab media reports which said the Algerian diplomat accused the Arab League of being responsible for destroying the Syrian state and society and weakening Syria as an Arab force.More on this topic from the Hindu
The United Nations and Arab League envoy on Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi may be on the verge of quitting, frustrated by the relentless efforts of President Bashar Assad’s foes on seeking “regime change” in Damascus, instead of a diplomatic solution to end the festering crisis. During the Doha summit on March 26-27, the Arab League decided to handover Syria’s seat to the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (NCSROF), despite rejection of the resolution by Algeria and Iraq, and an abstention by Lebanon. The move piloted by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, has been highly contentious.Observers say that the decision lacks legality as a change in national membership of a country is possible only if all the 22 members of the League take a unanimous view.The decision that was seemingly bulldozed by the League has delivered a big blow to a search for a political resolution of the crisis, based on dialogue between the Syrian opposition and the government. In thewords of Rim Turkmani, an opposition leader who belongs to the non-violent Building the Syrian State Movement, the prospects of a diplomatic solution have dimmed sharply because the NCSROF’s charter states “ unequivocally that there can be no negotiations and no dialogue with the regime”.The summit had also green-lighted the transfer of weapons to the Syrian opposition by pointing out in its final document that “each member state of the Arab League has the right to supply defensive means as it so wishes — including military defence — to support the resistance of the Syrian people and the Free Syrian Army (the armed wing of the Syrian opposition)”.
Without naming specific countries, Mr. Gatilov pointed out that some “external players are obviously not interested in this cooperation”.
Therefore if Brahimi resigns it is because of the NATO nutters. The US/Israel/GCC lackies/UK etc.Not because of the Assad government The on the ground opposition in Syria has asked that Brahimi not resignSyrian opposition rejects repetition of "Iraqi scenario"
Syria's main opposition party at home denounced on Monday recent calls for an expanded investigation of chemical weapons' use in Syria, saying they don't want a repetition of Iraqi scenario in Syria."We appeal for the halt of arms funneling to all (Syrian) parties without exceptions after the outright declaration by some parties of their connection to al-Qaida and we stress that those powers contradict our hopes and aspirations for a national and democratic change," Rajaa al-Naser, another member of NCB, said."We also call for the departure of all non-Syrian fighters regardless of where they came from or the title they are fighting under; whether it was for supporting the regime or to fight against it," he added.
The NCB also called on the international envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, not to submit his resignation because such move "would be conducive in widening the circle of violence" in Syria.
If all the non-Syrian fighters leave who would be left fighting? One last news article: Syria troops 'break siege of army camps'Below is the article as it appeared when I saved the this piece yesterdayPlease read it entirely. Clearly Syrian Arab Army pushed the NATO rebels out and regained some very strategic ground. Hence the censorship. 9:43pm April 14, 2013
Syrian troops have broken a months-long rebel siege on two key military bases in the northwestern province of Idlib, killing at least 21 opposition fighters, activists say.
"Regime forces managed to lift the siege on the Wadi Deif and Hamdiya military camps after the army went around the rebel fighters and attacked them from behind," the opposition British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Sunday.
At least 21 rebels were killed in the attack, which focused on the village of Babulin, the group said.Troops "now control two hilltops on either side of the Damascus-Aleppo international highway" reopening a supply route for the army, Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said.Rahman said two military trucks carrying materiel and soldiers have since been spotted passing through the area for the first time in months.
The area is in the countryside near the strategic town of Maaret al-Numan, which fell to rebel forces last October.
Rebels began blocking military supply routes north and to the nearby Wadi Deif and Hamdiya army bases after they seized Maaret al-Numan, which lies on the Damascus-Aleppo highway.
