Syria’s Assad appeals to BRICS for help

Share:

brics flagsSyrian President Bashar al-Assad has appealed to the leaders of a five-nation economic forum meeting in South Africa to help end his country’s two-year conflict.

The embattled and increasingly isolated president said on Wednesday that his country is being subjected to “acts of terrorism backed by Arab, regional and Western nations”, a reference to the Western-backed opposition fighting his regime.

Assad’s appeal came in a letter sent to a forum of BRICS nations; Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, whose leaders have gathered for a summit in Johannesburg.

The president’s letter was published by Syria’s state media on Wednesday.

It came a day after the Arab League allowed opposition leader Mouaz al-Khatib to fill Syria’s vacant seat at the organisation’s annual summit in Doha, the Qatari capital.

Syrian membership to the 22-member league was suspended in November 2011 in response to the government’s bloody crackdown on the opposition.

    The Hindus can be very effective against the Sunnis provided they have balls to send solders for Bashar Al-Qaeda.Iran has a strong tie with India too.

      Send Gurkhas. 😉 Wipe out ALL of them.
      Send Hindu women to clean up after if you like. Repopulate with appreciative vacationers and retired folk from anywhere willing and able to putter around a few hours every day with scraps of wood to re-build.

        Education if you have can benefit you , the sunnis are also educated but your uneducated brain wont be able to comprehend it. Look at Iranian tanking economy now pull it out of that doo doo with your education.

          Sunnis and assrabs in particular are far from educated. Sunnis and assrabs are the essence of what people call an intellectual breakdown.
          As long as Iran’s economy is concerned i take some comfort in knowing that at least there is hope left for my country. Once the iraniAngels have succeeded in throwing this nasty regime in the garbage everything will turn out great. Can you say the same thing about the sunnis? I doubt it. In Iran’s case there is light at the end of the tunnel, the assrabs on the other hand are for ever gonna be stuck in the tunnel because you are so miserably incompetent

    The African National Communists will be a great help to you, Assad.
    After all, it was the South African president who said he wouldn’t get Aids from all the women he enjoys because he had a shower after sex. Their heads are on straight, right?
    Of course … I wouldn’t fail to mention a couple of American Republican Thinkers on sex either.
    Damn good thing SOME people listen to politicians …. just not enough.
