On Friday, Kofi Annan has called on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to broker a deal between President Bashar-Al-Assad and the opposition to address the ongoing Syria crisis. After a supposedly close-door teleconference with the 15-nation UN council, the special UN-Arab league ambassador has stated that he is working with all stakeholders including the Syrian government and the opposition for restoration of peace in Syria. News is that the United Nations humanitarian agencies would reach Damascus this weekend to start humanitarian aid with the government of Syria.
Kofi Annan and his team are engaged to break the deadlock between the government and the opposition and end the Syria crisis. In fact, his visit to Syria last week has been to push for international monitoring, opening of political dialogue and restoration of peace.
The ex-United Nations secretary general has admitted that unlike Libya or anywhere in the Middle East, the situation in Syria is quite complex and it calls for very careful handling. He feels that any misjudgment or miscalculation could have cascading effect on the entire region. Kofi Annan has also acknowledged that till now the six-point peace proposal has not found much favor in Syria, but his team is working with the Syrian government for their approval.
