thestar.com iPhone : EU urges Syria’s opposition to unite, Assad to step down

clip from article:
The bloc also hailed Libya’s declaration of liberation, which formally ended the eight-month civil war against Moammar Gadhafi’s regime.

“The Syrian people must be able to define the future of their country without the fear of repression,” said a statement after a summit of the bloc’s 27 leaders.

Unlike Libya’s National Transitional Council, which brought together most factions fighting Gadhafi’s regime and was quickly recognized by much of the international community, Syria’s opposition still has no clear leadership. Last month, a 140-member Syrian National Council was established in an attempt to unify the fragmented opposition to Assad’s regime.

“The European Council welcomes the efforts of the political opposition to establish a united platform. The creation of the Syrian National Council is a positive step forward,” the statement said.

Still, officials have said the opposition needs more work to become an effective political force and to gain formal recognition as a legal representative of the Syrian people.

The uprising against Assad began in mid-March amid a wave of anti-government protests in the Arab world that toppled autocrats in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Assad has reacted with deadly force that the UN estimates has killed more than 3,000 people. [ read more at link ]

Syria Holds Hundreds in Stadium

Syrian government forces held hundreds in a stadium in Latakia, residents said—part of mass arrests from raids of houses in the Sunni district of the besieged city. Latakia, a port city in the southeast, is of particular importance to President Bashar al-Assad, since his family is from the area, and they control the city’s port and its finances. Over the weekend, Assad’s forces attacked al-Raml, a seafront area named after a Palestinian refugee camp built in the 1950s; some Palestinians have joined the fight to oust Assad, despite the fact that he is a self-declared champion of Palestinian rights. Meanwhile, the United Nations is expected to propose that the tribunal at The Hague investigate Assad and his forces for possible war crimes.

Life footage Syria the killing of Moath by Assad soldiers

shocking Syria the killing of Moath by Assad soldiers
The wave of Arab unrest that started with the Tunisian revolution of January 2011 reached Syria in mid-March, when residents of a small southern city took to the streets to protest the torture of students who had put up anti-government graffiti.

President Bashar al-Assad, who inherited Syria's harsh dictatorship from his father, Hafez al-Assad, at first wavered between force and hints of reform. But in April, just days after lifting the country's decades-old state of emergency, he launched the first of what became a series of withering crackdowns, sending tanks into restive cities as security forces opened fire on demonstrators.

Neither the violence nor Mr. Assad's offers of political reform — rejected as shams by protest leaders — brought an end to the unrest. Similarly, the protesters have not been able to withstand direct assault by the military's armored forces.

The conflict is complicated by Syria's ethnic divisions. The Assads and much of the nation's elite, especially the military, belong to the Alawite sect, a small minority in a mostly Sunni country.

Syria's crackdown has been condemned internationally, as has President Assad, a British-trained doctor who many had hoped would soften his father's iron-handed regime. But no direct intervention has been proposed, and support for protesters has been balanced against fears of instability in a country at the heart of so many conflicts in the world's most volatile region.

In July, the Obama administration, in a shift that was weeks in the making, turned against Mr. Assad but stopped short of demanding that he step down. By early August, the American ambassador was talking of a "post-Assad" Syria.

By that time, a massive crackdown on the restive city of Hama — involving bombs, tanks, artillery and snipers — and elsewhere drove the tally of estimated deaths kept by human rights groups over 1,700, mostly protesters, and well over 10,000 people were reported to be in custody or missing. The country's economy was headed toward the point of collapse, as tourism in particular withered.

As the assaults on restive cities continued, cracks emerged in a tight-knit leadership that has until now rallied its base of support and maintained a unified front. Though there are no signs of an imminent collapse, flagging support of the business elite in Damascus, divisions among senior officials and even moves by former government stalwarts to distance themselves from the leadership come at a time when Syria also faces what may be its greatest isolation in more than four decades of rule by the Assad family.
