| Syrians protest ALL Foreign interference |
Entrenched paradigm: interference, destabilization, provocation, lawlessness, impunity, violence
Editing, re-reporting, brief comment by
Carolyn Bennett
The geopolitical struggle intensifies and nations must
support a political, nonviolent solution.
The biggest problem in Syria is finding a mechanism to solve
the crisis. This can be done only if pressure is exerted on regional powers and
regional states now funding and arming the Syrian opposition.

anny Makki is a graduate in International Relations and regular
commentator on the crisis in Syria. He spoke with Press TV. This is some of
what he said.
Since the very first day of the Syrian conflict, Makki said,
“The United States has rejected any political solution. …
By providing non-lethal aid,
supporting the Syrian opposition politically, providing stinger missiles and
other forms of weapons, the United States has been one of the major
protagonists in making the crisis continue.
For the last forty years, the
United States of America has wanted to seek the downfall of Assad, both Assad
Junior and Assad senior. They want a moderate pro-Western government in Syria
that allows for U.S. hegemony, U.S. plans and dominance in the region.

The United States wants the death
of Arab nationalism, the death of any powers and forces that fight imperialism
in the region; they want a pro-U. S. government such as exists in Jordan or that
existed in Egypt under Mubarak.
The United States wants the death of the Arab kind of nationalism, of an Arab ideology that rejects colonialism, rejects imperialism ─ this is exactly what is happening in Syria.
The United States has an atrocious history of human rights within the Middle East and has never been a friend of the Syrian people or the Syrian government.

What obstructs a nonviolent process in resolving the Syrian
crisis, Danny Makki concludes, is “the absolute intransigence of Western
governments and Western regimes and reactionary Arab regimes. They block any
political solution. They block any political settlement that negotiates a
peaceful ending to what is happening.
“In this day and age,’ he says, “this is an absolute
travesty.”

he UN Human Rights Commissioner today released a United
Nations report showing that at least 60,000 people have died in the Syrian
conflict.
Commissioner Navi Pillay noted that since the conflict has
not subsided in the weeks between November 30 and the turn of 2013, the total dead
likely exceeds 60,000.
For the study, researchers analyzed five months of data, cross-referencing
seven sources to compile a list of 59,648 individuals reported killed between
March 15, 2011, and November 30, 2012. The number of casualties, much higher
than we expected, Pillay said, “Is truly shocking.”

“Syrians in most provinces (thousands gathered at Bab Touma

people.

Protesters carried banners and repeated slogans denouncing
the blatant U.S. interference in Syria’s affairs and demanding that the U.S.
ambassador leave the country. They also saluted the Syrian army, saying that
the army is supported by all of Syria, underlining the importance of the Syrian
people’s national unity in confronting the conspiracies targeting their
country.
