Clinton Meets with Syrian Opposition

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton meets with a small group of expatriate Syrian opposition members, Geneva, Dec. 6, 2011

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with senior Syrian National Council members in the Swiss capital to discuss their specific ideas for transitioning toward democracy, especially any ideas that include reaching out to minorities.

It was Clinton’s first meeting with the seven individuals, which included the Syrian National Council’s president and its human rights and civil society coordinator.

"Obviously a democratic transition includes more than removing the Assad regime," said Clinton. "It means setting Syria on the path of the rule of law and protecting the universal rights of all citizens regardless of sect or ethnicity or gender."

Although seven Syrians met with Clinton, only six were comfortable revealing their identities. All seven live in exile.

It is only the second time Clinton has met with Syrian opposition members.

Meanwhile, U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford returned to Damascus after being recalled in late October amid concerns for his safety.

At that time, State Department officials said Ford was brought back to Washington as a result of "credible threats” and what a spokeswoman termed "regime-led incitement" targeting Ford.

In response, Syria recalled its own ambassador.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner issued a statement saying Ford’s presence in Syria is an effective way to show the U.S. stands with the Syrian people.

Ford has been an outspoken critic of the Syrian government's violent crackdown on political dissent.

Ongoing violence

Violence in Syria has escalated in the last 24 hours, with activists reporting more than 50 deaths in a continuing government crackdown on dissent. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told VOA more than 20 of the 34 people reportedly kidnapped and killed on Monday in Homs were dumped in the streets overnight.

The head of the Britain-based group Rami Abdelrahman said the circumstances surrounding the deaths remain unclear, but that none of the deaths occurred during pro-democracy demonstrations.

The Assad government received words of support from Lebanon's Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday.

In a rare public appearance in Beirut, Nasrallah lashed out against the U.S., accusing it of seeking to destroy Syria. He said he is in favor of Assad's plans for reform. Nasrallah made the comments during a speech marking the Shi'ite holy day of Ashura.

"We say yes to dealing with the phenomena of corruption, yes to all the reforms that were accepted by the Syrian leadership and that were called for by the Syrian people," said Nasrallah. "But there are some people who do not want reforms, security and stability in Syria, and neither civil peace nor dialogue. There are people who want to destroy Syria to make up for their defeat in Iraq, and Syria is a partner in defeating the Americans in Iraq."

The U.S. and its allies have been trying to isolate the government of Assad in response to its nine-month crackdown on political dissents.

The Syrian government proposed on Monday new conditions to allow observers into the country to monitor Syrian compliance with a pledge to stop cracking down on the pro-democracy uprising. The Arab League said it is studying a Syrian proposal that was received on Monday and contains "new" conditions that the regional bloc had not heard before.

The United Nations says 4,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government began in March.

How long before we start rioting in the streets in the United States? The worst terrorist group in the country is the ku klux klan and they are allowed to have meetings, raise funds, and recruit new members even with their totally violent past. Look at the efforts by different states to restrict the rights of people to vote in this country and the outright lies by the media in this country that are encouraging stupidity and ignorance.

US ambassador returning to Syria

The US ambassador to Damascus will return to Syria on Tuesday evening after leaving abruptly in late October because of security threats, Washington said.

3:46PM GMT 06 Dec 2011

"Ambassador Robert Ford has completed his consultations in Washington and is returning to Damascus this evening," a senior U.S. State Department official told reporters.

The official was speaking in Geneva just before U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was due to meet Syrian opposition leaders there.

Ford left Syria on Oct. 24 as a government crackdown on protesters and a nascent armed insurgency against President Bashar al-Assad intensified, prompting Syria to follow suit and recall its own envoy in Washington.

The ambassador had been due to return by the Nov. 24 U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, but the State Department postponed his return, citing the continued crackdown, decisions by other nations to bring their own envoys home and the question of whether he could move around and be effective in Syria.

Ford had antagonised Syria's government with his high-profile support for anti-Assad demonstrators. Assad's supporters had attacked the U.S. embassy and Ford's convoy.

Thái độ hèn hạ dựa hơi dựa hám "thế giới đang chống tàu bành trướng" để kêu gọi người Việt Quốc Gia "đòan kết" với lũ chó đẻ Việt gian công sản "để chống tàu xâm lược" nghe thật muốn nôn .
