CIVIL WAR IN SYRIA

The world has the eyes on Syria, especially after there are rumors of chemical weapons in the city of Damascus. However, there is not form to verify the veracity of some videos circulating on the Internet about that fact. But what we do know is that both the government and the rebels have accused each other and, of course, this has come to create some skepticism in the neighboring area and distant countries. What is clear is that the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad is reaching its final days. The popular uprising staged by the people in the streets, is proving that.

The political situation in Syria gets worse every day and the government of Bashar Al-Assad has shown that "Syria will not turns into the backyard of the West", just to quote one of his phrases.

Since the war began on March 15, 2011, more than 100.000 people have died and at least one million children have had to flee the country and, there are a million of other children who are in the firing line.

The international community is alarmed by the events of recent days and, if it is proved the use of weapons of mass destruction against civilians, it could "justify" an intervention of foreign forces in the Syrian soil.

The public opinion is divided on this issue, and the review made by the UN could not find any indication or prove that chemical weapons were used against the population. The Security Council of the UN has decided to continue working to seek for any evidence on this matter and another mission with more equipment is already in Syria for these purposes. However, EE.UU; has already deployed four warships in the region and France and the UK, are only waiting for more reason to expect an intervention to that country.

We must be clear that there are interests in the region that move many countries to promote the intervention in Syria, rather than humanitarian reasons, there are other reasons that are taken as a flag of struggle.

We believe that it is unacceptable for any country to use weapons of mass destruction against human beings, but it is also unacceptable that other countries violate international laws and want to invade another nation without the approval of the Security Council of the UN. It appears that for the moment, there will be not an invasion of Syria, only attacks that can occur at strategic points outside the regime.

We are saddened by the events in Syria and we believe that a friendly dialogue is the best way to a solution to this conflict. The world don’t want to see again the situation of what happened in Iraq in the year 2003, where there were no weapons of mass destruction that served as the excuse for the invading forces.
