Arab League urges Assad to step down, yield power to VP

Share:

The Arab League demanded on Sunday that Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad step down and form a national unity government with opposition forces, marking an uptick in the League’s increasingly muscular efforts to resolve the 10-month bloody uprising.

The pan-Arab body asked that Mr. Assad yield power to his vice president after the formation of the unity government within two months. The League also requested that the United Nations Security Council endorse the League’s new strategy for resolving the abiding violence in Syria.

According to an article published by Ya Libnan on December 22, Russia also proposed to Syrian Vice President Farouq al-Sharaa ( during a December secret visit to Moscow) to assume the powers of President Assad for a transitional period and until elections are being held. This in exchange for Assad being granted a political asylum in Moscow.

    that will never happen asad will never step down , stepping down for assad is equal to sucide for him and for the 4 milions alawite in syria , they will fight to hold on to power until the last men , because they know soon that opposition take over power the revange starts and they will slaugher the alawites, to revange the millions of crimes commited by the alawites against the syrian people , so this is not an option , maybe the arab league tell assad that he could form his alawite state , and divide syria into 3 state ,  alawite , sunnis, and kurdish state , that will be a better solution , giving the alawite a  safety zone within there own state , there is no other solution.  otherwise syria is heading to an allout civil war

    I think the Arab League is out of touch with reality on the ground. This is a revolution not a coup de etat. In a Coup the president is removed and elements of the government remain as they were and the military for the most remains as it was only a few changes are made to both the military and government. In a revolution the entire state is changed starting with the Military and government structure. The Military in Syria is controlled by a few and all heavy weapons and air power is with the allawite sect so if Bashar leaves they can defect from the gov and start a civil war. I dont think the Allawite are about to just leave with Bashar or turn over all the positions (in gov and military) over to the new gov. The only solution is a Cuba and recently Libya syle revolution where the Military is completely defeated and a new Military and government is put in.
