Annan Resigns as Envoy on Syria

Kofi Annan, the special envoy of the United Nations and Arab League who has sought unsuccessfully for months to resolve the Syria conflict, submitted his resignation on Thursday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said.

“Tragically, the spiral of violence in Syria is continuing,” Mr. Ban said in his statement announcing Mr. Annan’s resignation. “The hand extended to turn away from violence in favor of dialogue and diplomacy — as spelled out in the Six-Point Plan — has not been taken, even though it still remains the best hope for the people of Syria.” (NYTimes.con, 2 August)

  1. Annan would have had about the same chances of success with the Union and Confederates during the American Civil War, had there been a UN back then.

  3. Assad and his regime will be kicked out!
    And the Islamic terrorist theocracies dream of a greater Shiite fascist empire will come to an end.
    Islam in Iran is bankrupt and Akhunds are known terrorists amongst the Iranian people.
    It's fast approaching curtain time for the Islamic fascist regime.
