UAE Press: Syria Needs A Local And Arab Solution

DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 01st Sep, 2018) Any "peace deal" in Syria imposed by the victors will be untenable in the long run, according to a UAE daily newspaper .
''Clearly, Syria needs a regional and local solution, if it is to be stable in the long run. But the presence of foreign forces in Syria has become such an issue that no inter-Syrian dialogue is taken seriously anymore, 'wrote the Gulf news in its editorial on Saturday.
Tragically, the paper indicated that people look to what the foreign patrons of the so-called Syrian parties have to say.
''Staffan de Mistura, the United Nations peace envoy for Syria said on Tuesday he plans to host Iran, Russia and Turkey for talks in September on finalising a committee to write a new Syrian constitution. He was asked to set up the committee during a congress held in Sochi, Russia, in January,'' the Dubai-based paper said.
''There is a problem with this approach. Syria is an Arab country, it’s an integral part of the Arab world. And Arab countries have been kept conspicuously absent from the process. Plus, the long-suffering people of Syria, who have been the target of a venal and brutal campaign of atrocities by the regime of Bashar Al Assad, seem to have no real voice in these talks, despite the opposition’s move to send its list of delegates,'' the paper remarked.
Noting to the failure of the international community, led by the western states, to come up with an inclusive plan for all Syrians, the paper regretted that the United States and the European Union, in particular, have accepted a regime victory as fait accompli. Their Primary concern seems to be safeguarding the Israeli regime’s "interests" in Syria.
