Conflict opinions: how others see it
United Nations The ceasefire negotiated by the UN-Arab League envoy, Kofi Annan, is the only deal with international backing but has proved ineffective so far. United States The US has maintained that intervention in Syria should be via the UN, as it seeks to win over opposition from Russia and China. Russia Courting anger by still shipping arms to the Assad regime, Russia is unwilling to allow the West's military to help to secure regime change in the same way as it did in Libya last year. China The official state newspaper warned yesterday that "external forces are not qualified to meddle", arguing that Annan's peace plan is the only way to prevent an "abyss". European Union European nations have enforced strict embargoes on Syria and have called on Russia to adopt a tougher line. |
