Arab League urges Syria to stop violence
(AFP)

7 August 2011, 6:06 PM
CAIRO - The Arab League on Sunday called on the Syrian authorities to “immediately” stop the violence that has rocked the country since mid-March, in the pan-Arab body’s first official statement on the unrest.

 

League Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi “calls on the Syrian authorities to bring an end immediately to acts of violence and campaigns by the security forces against civilians,” the statement said.

It seems things are beginning to move. Saudi Arabia (which is no strabger to using force to subdue dissention) has recalled its ambassador to Syria. The USA has also voiced clear concerns. I think Assad will have to relent for now.
