Syrians call for protests against any UN peacekeepers AFP, Thursday 6 Dec 2012 Syrian activists reject calls for UN peacekeeping deployments in war-torn country, saying move would split country into pro-, anti-regime regions
Syrian activists called online for nationwide protests on Friday to reject any future UN deployment of blue helmets in the strife-torn country, as rebels inched closer to the capital amid raging violence. "No to 'peacekeeping' forces in Syria," was the slogan announced for weekly Friday protests, according to the Syrian Revolution 2011 Facebook page. Ever since the outbreak of a popular revolt against President Bashar al-Assad in March 2011, thousands of protesters have taken to streets in towns and cities across Syria to call for the fall of the regime. As Syria's conflict has evolved, weekly slogans agreed by activists have been designed to express the mood among dissidents. Last week, international peace envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi said the country "very, very urgently" needed a ceasefire and a large peacekeeping force. Anti-regime activist Omar Shakir said "the notion of a peacekeeping force as a solution for Syria has been in the air for some time. "We want to deliver a message not only to the international community but also to the Syrian political opposition that nobody on the ground would accept the deployment of blue helmets. "Peacekeepers would mean Syria would be split in two, into pro and anti-regime areas. We are against the partition of Syria." "The (rebel) Free Syrian Army is advancing at high speed towards the capital. If blue helmets are deployed, that would enable the regime to stay in power." As violence has intensified, the number of protesters taking to the streets on Fridays has waned, but demonstrations have nevertheless continued to take place. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/59971.aspx A draft document Syrian Left Alliance Posted on December 6, 2012<http://syriafreedomforever.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/%d9%85%d8%b4%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%b9-%d9%88%d8%ab%d9%8a%d9%82%d8%a9-%d8%aa%d8%ad%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%81-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%8a%d8%b3%d8%a7%d8%b1-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b3%d9%88%d8%b1%d9%8a/> With published in: Wednesday, December first 5, 2012 With Source: civilized dialogue<http://www.ahewar.org/debat/show.art.asp?aid=334205> (Introduction of the "Coalition of the Democratic Left", the "coalition of the nation", "Syrian Communist Tenseekiet") * 1) the goals that fighting for* grew Left Alliance Syrian on the floor to participate in the popular revolution Syrian, to effectively contribute in achieving its objectives in eliminating the rule of tyranny and impoverishment and the establishment of a civil state of democracy, state citizenship and justice for all its citizens, which in his participation in the revolution expresses the aspirations and ambitions impoverished social groups that are established one of the pillars of the revolution.
