What could go wrong?
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has demanded that Syria stop using its army against Syrian civilians. "In a phone conversation with President Assad of Syria today, the secretary-general expressed his strong concern and that of the international community at the mounting violence and death toll in Syria over the past days," the UN press office said in a statement.Yeah, that'll get Bashar to stop. What could go wrong?
It added that Ban "urged the president to stop the use of military force against civilians immediately."
...
Ban's statement said Assad referred to "the large number of lives lost among the security forces and police," an assertion that the Syrian government has made repeatedly since the crackdown began -- and one which Western diplomats have voiced doubts about.
"The secretary-general said he condemned the violence against both the civilians as well as security forces," the statement said.
