Head of Arab League Monitors in Syria Defends Work
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The head of the Arab League's observation team to Syria has struck back at critics who say the mission has failed to stop violence between security forces and opposition groups seeking to oust President Bashar Assad.
Gen. Mohammed Ahmed al-Dabi told reporters in Cairo Monday that the mission's job was to never to stop the violence, but to document progress on the League's peace plan.
Al-Dabi, a Sudanese army general who has been accused of war crimes, defended the mission. He says that since its start, violence has gone down, prisoners have been released and some protests have been allowed to proceed peacefully.
The Arab League on Sunday extended the observer mission for another month and presented a new initiative aimed at ending the crisis — which Syria's government rejected.

shab, what do you mean "I'm waiting..." my friend? We have been waiting for your predictions to materialize forever. Can you double-check again with Dr. Samir Falaky, another war criminal like Jumblat, both of whom got away with murder and have thrown themselves many times into the arms of the Syrian occupier and war criminals Papa and Son Assad? This time we want definitive answers from your highness. Please be precise like you and Gabby and the other Ghabiyoun have been. Best regard to the Falaky. m3alla2in bi 7ibal al hawa. Via Turkey, huh! Perhaps you can have aragon respond if you are busy.

@Murad: there's nothing you or anyone can say that will make the Syrian government and security forces come out of this innocent. No [intelligent] person will ever side with a government that has killed over 5000 of its own citizens and imprisoned well over 10000. And that's only counting the past 10 months.

@dont-be-a-sheep: No [intelligent] person would believe youtube videos of dead people are sufficient proof that they were killed by Syrian security forces.

a murderer and a criminal is appointed as head of mission to stop killings..... what an oxymoron. This thug should be executed for his genocide acts in Sudan, let alone be appointed to such a sensitive mission.

office voymov, why didn't you speak up when your throughput was necessary? Didn't you know that the Arab league depends on knowledgeable and bright know-it-alls such as yourself? Now you have only yourself to blame, and for this you should be severely punished by having your behind flogged 22 times.
