Syria bids for peace, not war

human rights, democracy and good governance, pretends nothing wrong is happening.
Compare this to small countries like Zimbabwe, where a mere slap in the face of an opposition member attracts sanctions from the US and its allies!
It is trite but true observation that the US and its allies favour puppet regimes with potential to allow US to exploit natural resources and hate, with highest malice, small countries like Zimbabwe, who have sought to liberate its people through genuine black empowerment projects.
We are now given to appreciate a world where very small issues end up being blown out of proportion if you happen to be on the wrong side of US line of thought.
When all this is done in the full view of the United Nations, one wonders why the UN just condemns the brutality, without acting?
This brings us to the need for a campaign for a fair world where UN is not manipulated by US, as not mere rhetoric but a real issue that brings the much-needed peace to the world.
The death of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is as cruel as that of the American Ambassador to Libya, Stevens.
Both were cruel murders!
And, so is the brutality shown by Syrian rebels on international television channels.
The way captives or prisoners of war are being shot in front of journalists, is exactly the way Gaddafi was killed.
Africa has been demanding reforms on the UN Security Council and since Africa is the harbour of the world’s largely untapped natural resources, its power to direct international peace is equally important.
President Mugabe has been at the forefront of this campaign.
Africa’s voice in international politics should be as important as are its vast untapped natural resources.
For instance, Africa cannot ignore the conflict in Syria, inasmuch as the rest of the world is interested in one way or the other.
Events there will have serious repercussions on Africa’s stability.
Africa can only treat the conflict in Syria as distant at its own peril.
In African proverbs, a small distant fire eventually gets to your own doorstep as a huge inferno too difficult to put out.
African leaders like President Mugabe should take the lead in saying “no” to military intervention in Syria.
They should say “yes” to a peaceful solution and that solution should be found soon rather than later.
Critical to the whole world is the fact that military intervention in Syria is connected with great risk, even much more serious than what happened in Libya.
The Syrian army is stronger than Libya’s and has a more advanced air defence system.
The situation is also aggravated by conflicts in neighbouring Lebanon, Iraq, Israel and Palestine.
According to international experts, foreign military invasion in Syria can destabilise the entire region.
The US, which faced difficulties in Iraq and Afghanistan, does not want to take responsibility for the difficult situation in Syria.
The US prefers to act stealthily by strengthening opposition groups and simultaneously increasing economic and political pressure on Damascus.
At the same time fearing that Mohammed Assad may soon take the situation in the country under control.
Americans don’t stop to seek a possibility of using military methods against Syria, bypassing the UN Security Council.
It is now funding rebels, through Turkey, Qatar and Israel.
The US has been feeding its allies on unfounded messages, received from anonymous sources, about the supposedly growing threat of chemical war in Syria.
As a result, France has already threatened Damascus in the case government forces use chemical weapons against rebels.
This situation is very similar to the Iraqi scenario in which Washington used unverified information about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a pretext for the invasion of Baghdad.
Co-operation of some countries from the “Friends of Syria” with the West, often against their own interest, makes us think about large “compensation” possibly promised to them by Americans after the overthrow of the Assad regime.
In particular, Turkey should clearly understand that by supporting the US it risks complicating the situation in the country where the Kurd minority maintained close contacts with the Kurds in Syria, Iraq and Iran.
Don’t also forget about the role of Saudi Arabia in the Syrian crisis, and the fact that after the end of the Syrian events, Wahhabism may appear in Turkey. Unlike in other countries, the situation in Syria is different because there is no national discontent and strong opposition. Armed groups controlled by foreign countries which supply arms, money and mercenaries do not value the lives of people.
