UN Special Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi’s efforts to kickstart peace talks have been going nowhere fast, but his comments in an interview with the BBC yesterday, appearing aimed at courting the rebels, may have made it even more difficult for him to get any talks going.
In the interview, Brahimi abandon the strategy of neutrality of his predecessor, Kofi Annan, and announced that in his estimation the Assad family’s uninterrupted 40 year rule over Syria was “a little bit too long.”
Assad government officials are condemning Brahimi for the comments, saying his call for regime change shows “flagrant bias” against the government, a reaction which was entirely predictable.
Brahimi’s comments may have gained him some support among rebels, but since the rebel factions reject negotiations on general principle, this probably won’t change much, and if anything, it will lead the regime to take Brahimi’s calls even less seriously than before.
When you don't know your job or biased and blinded by your position or "profession" then you are what you are.., a biased personality which would show sooner rather then later.., Lakhdar Brahimi.., was elected not because being an Algerian he is elected to do the job that others refused to take or continue.., because they didn't want to be slaved by Saudis nor the EU or the U.S government.
Brahimi showed his hand, and should be disqualified for bias. It is not easy to think he will be able to regain the support of the Syrian government.
Why must SYRIA slam him? Obviously the Syrian government are the democrats and the UN envoys of the UN are supporting even foreign installed dictators.
How can he remain one day longer in this position ?
Send him to the Saudis for beheading – finally such a statement makes him also responsible for all those massacres of Syrian people.
Saudis are great in beheading – they recently beheaded a 17 years old Nanny for allegedly murder of its child, despite she said it was an accident and that she was blackmailed into making a confession.
What a grazy world .
Lakhdar Brahimi is NOT IMPARTIAL. He is a petty man and in the service of the war criminals in Washington. Assad is trying to save his country from assassins and cowards and plan, partition of the country to benefit Israel. Assad also is trying to neutralize the reactionary Arab head of states evil doer, and chained dog of US imperialism, Turkey.
Their plan is 'regime change', but will not get it. Syrian have demonstrated in support of Assad many times and will not accept the plan by the assassin and a baby killer in Washington and his petty servant Brahimi. Down with war mongers. Down with petty servants.
What we need is REGIME CHANGE IN 'WHITE' HOUSE.
