Ban urges action now to save Syria
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has urged Syria’s president to swiftly end his regime’s bloody crackdown and appealed to the divided UN Security Council to unite and help the country “pull back from the brink of a deeper catastrophe.”
The UN secretary general led a ministerial debate in the council on challenges from the Arab Spring which is certain to be dominated by the year-long conflict in Syria, which he said has led the entire region into uncertainty and subjected citizens in several cities to disproportionate violence.
