| Syria has failed to implement the peace plan |
The Syrian fighting has escalated though it
had accepted peace plans by Kofi Annan. According to CNN news, activists say that at least 26 people have been killed in
the latest fighting. The Iraq tribal leaders are also reported to have been
sending money, expert bombers and arms to assist the opposition in Syria.
The
fact that Syria has disrespected the UN peace plan means that UN will face a
number of problems in the future concerning helping the Syrian government and its
opposition settle their disputes. Syria has reflected in this sense, that it
still has a long way to go before the situation becomes stable. As long as
countries such as Iraqi keep on assisting Syria rebels with money and arms,
there is no hope that the crisis will ever end anytime soon. Syria has
disappointed UN in that it has been just talk and no action on its side.President Bashar al-Assad was asked to step down but he has not.
I
however understand why Syria has fail to implement the plans, they cannot be expected to immediately drop arms and
embrace peace. For Syria, reaching stability after such heavy fighting is going
to be a slow process that can not just take place in days but will take months
or even years.
I
wonder what the next step for the UN on Syria will be. I wonder whether UN will
give up on this country which does not seem to care about UN’s cry for peace or whether
it will take the matter in its own hands and forcibly remove the Syrian
president from his position.
While this crisis is still going on in Syria, Sudan and South Sudan in contrast have decided to talk and resolve a number of disputes.These countries have been in conflict over an oil field.The leaders of both countries however made it clear that they do not wish to eventually reach a full scale war.It is high time they put aside their differences and make peace.
