Arab League offers Assad 'safe exit'
The Arab League has offered Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a 'safe exit,' but only if he resigns 'soon.'The Arab League will offer Syrian President Bashar al-Assad “a safe exit” if he resigns quickly and leaves the country, a senior Arab League official said, marking the latest attempt to get Syria’s longtime ruler to step down and end more than a year of daily bloodshed.What could go wrong?
The official provided no further details because the source is not authorized to speak to the media.
Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani did not discuss an exit plan when speaking with reporters after the Sunday meeting, but confirmed “there is an agreement on the need for the swift resignation” of Assad.
“We call on the opposition and the Free Syrian Army to form a government of national unity,” Sheikh Hamad said.
Despite Arab League offer, the brutal violence didn’t let up.
