Support plan for peace

The two massacres that took place in the past week have caused grave concern among the international community about the deteriorating situation in Syria. There is an international consensus that violence there must stop and humanitarian aid must reach those in need.

The Syrian government and the opposition are trading accusations about who was responsible for the carnage. We sincerely hope that the perpetrators will be brought to justice as early as possible.

The Western powers are trying to use the massacres as an excuse for armed intervention so as to force the regime change they have long desired.
