THE GUARDIAN: Syrian peace mission impossible because of militarisation on the ground and lack of international unity, says former head of UN
International disarray over the bloody crisis in Syria has been starkly underlined when the UN envoy Kofi Annan announced that he was resigning because of the failure of what he said had become a "mission impossible".
The former UN secretary general said it had been a "sacred duty" to take up the position five months ago to try to find a solution to the conflict. But growing militarisation and a lack of unity among world powers had changed the circumstances.
"At a time when we need – when the Syrian people desperately need action – there continues to be finger-pointing and name-calling in the security council," Annan said on Thursday in a sometimes bitter and frustrated statement he made at the UN's Geneva headquarters. » | Ian Black, Middle East editor | Thursday, August 02, 2012

La communauté internationale réagit après le massacre de Houla. La France a annoncé ce mardi l'expulsion de l' ambassadrice de Syrie en France, Lamia Chakkour. Cette décision intervient alors que Kofi Annan est en visite en Syrie et a rencontré Bachar el-Assad ce matin.
François Hollande a annoncé que Lamia Chakkour, l'ambassadrice de Syrie en France serait expulsée lundi ou mardi prochain, en réponse au massacre survenu ce week-end dans la ville de Houla, qui a provoqué la mort de 108 personnes, dont 49 enfants. Cette décision sera notifiée à l'ambassadrice "aujourd'hui (mardi) ou demain (mercredi)", a déclaré le chef de l'Etat lors d'un point presse, ajoutant que "elle est aussi ambassadrice auprès de l'Unesco, ça aura donc des conséquences sur la rapidité d'exécution de cette décision". » | Par LEXPRESS.fr | mardi 29 mai 2012
