Syria Strikes Compromise With Help From Arab LeaguePosted on Nov 2, 2011
Remember the conflict in Syria? You know, the one involving President Bashar al-Assad and the protesters in his country clamoring for regime change? It’s still happening. Some 3,000 Syrians have lost their lives in the struggle, and on Tuesday night, a move was made that appeared, at least, to represent some progress and put a lid on the violence. In Doha, Qatar, Assad met up with members of the Arab League, who were able to persuade him to accept the terms of the agreement they collectively created. Whether these measures will actually be effective or just gestures that’ll ultimately help Assad buy more time remains to be seen, and the opposition remains skeptical. —KA
