Arab League freezes Syria mission

Cairo - The Arab League's monitoring mission to Syria has been frozen given the escalation of violence in the country, a source at the Arab League told Reuters on Saturday.

The mission would remain in Syria, the source said, but would temporarily freeze its work.

The source gave no further details, but said a statement would be issued by the Arab League later on Saturday regarding the decision.

The head of the monitoring mission, Ambassador Adnan al-Khodeir, did not say whether a final decision had been taken regarding freezing the mission, but told Reuters that the general secretariat of the league would take all the necessary procedures to protect the safety of its monitors in Syria.

Michael says... Hahahah, Freddie your latest rant is really funny!!! You obviously have never heard of the false pretext of going to war in Iraq for example (weapons of mass destruction). For this hundreds of thousands perished Your epithet "silly little bureaucrat", I'll consider a compliment. Your problem is that you are nowhere near to the region and simply base you nonsense on your own prejudices. Your entire thesis lacks fact- for example Europe imposed its first sanctions on Syria back in April last year, this was their form of "engagement". and most of the sanctions were not against the government but against humanitarian projects, so the ordinary folk suffered. The US just continued to call for the president to resign while pretending to maintain "diplomatic relations". If you were genuine in your concern for all the casualties you would ask the same questions yourself: What failed in the strategies that were followed and what could be done now to minimize further bloodshed? But you are a school playground fighter with no insight- just "Let slip the dogs of war." We are more and more likely to see far worse bloodshed now simply because there was no engagement at a proper diplomatic level, only name calling and demands for Assad to step down. My reading is that the west anticipated a relatively easy exit as in the case of Mubarak and totally misjudged the situation. So for saying this I am "a shameless human being" -simply for calling for a better way. Tsk Tsk dear freddie! Read the article...
