Syria, Syria! What can you possibly say today? I feel so sad about the country and its people. They are facing such a dead-end situation. There is no light in the tunnel either. Their revolution is different from all the other Arab nations’ revolutions. It is not similar to Tunisia, Libya or Yemen. The so-called Arab Spring in these three countries share certain similarities. In Libya, the leader used his army against the revolutionaries – a scenario which is closest to the case in Syria.

The people in Libya were so lucky that the international community had interests in Libya and Tripoli, so NATO and Europe jointly, with the US took a speedy decision to step in and use force against Gaddafi. Of course oil talks! When you are a country which has one of the best quality crude oil, everyone will run to help you and meddle in your affairs. That was a lucrative loot for whoever stepped in to help Libya.

Syria is a totally different issue. It has a strategic geographical position. It has other political issues. I don’t know whether Syria is fortunate or unfortunate that the international community did not agree to step in and use force the same way they did in Libya. We all know Russia and China aborted every dream of Hilary Clinton’s to attack Syria. As it is the Russian fleet is already in the Mediterranean, not very far away from the shores of Latakia.

Of course, the US is not going to launch a world-wide war over Syria. Their warfare is already widespread. The only thing that was left to the international community in Syria was to interfere and strengthen the opposition in the country by supplying them with arms and military aid. This leads to bloodshed day and night. Syrians are becoming refugees like the Palestinians – thousands in Jordan and Turkey, others trying to flee but are unable to. Thousands has been killed and houses are shelled in many cities.

Maybe the international community underestimated the force and the power of the Syrian army. Syria, of course, has one of the best Arab armies. It is not easy to break it using the opposition alone. On top of that, the opposition groups in Syria are not united. Forget the Arab countries. Even if they take a decision they cannot implement it. They just meet and come up with drafts and plans.

One of the worst decisions taken is the resignation of Kofi Annan as a UN special envoy. He discovered he was powerless and he could not help. Syria is left floating. Assad has many followers, too. Even if the government steps down there will be a lot of bloodshed. Syria is a complicated conundrum. God help the Syrian people. In the end of the day they are the victims.
