A major conference is being held in Tunisia to seek a get
through in the more and more bitter Syrian strife. On the eve of the
conference, the UN and Arab League appointed Kofi Annan as their envoy to
Syria. The talks are doubtful to persuade Damascus to change its stance towards
the uprising but will increase the force on it.
The conference will agree a declaration on Syria, expected
to demand an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian assessment, with the threat
of further sanctions if ignored. The UN said in a statement he would offer good
offices aimed at bringing an end to all hostility and human rights violations,
and promoting a peaceful explanation to the Syrian calamity.
