Global Passivity Over Syria will End in Disaster (Okaz, Saudi Arabia)

Syrians who have risen up in a quest for freedom, dignity and a happier life will fail to achieve them if the international community remains passive after Assads fall. Syria and the entire region are headed toward a very dangerous situation, as terrorist organizations expand and exploit the crisis there.

Saudi Arabia - Okaz - Original Article (Arabic)

Sixteen bleeding months later, and the U.N. Security Council is still unable to prevent the Syrian people from being caught up in their daily spiral of death. Because of the complexity and danger of a situation in which the interests of the global powers collide, it appears that nothing will be done, whether it be under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter or anything else.

Now that the fall of Assad is inevitable, the Syrian issue will take a more dangerous turn, since his departure is only the beginning if the demands and needs of the Syrian people. Those who have risen up in a quest for freedom, dignity and a happier life will fail to achieve them if the international community remains passive after Assads fall. Syria and the entire region are headed toward a very dangerous situation, as terrorist organizations expand and exploit the crisis there.

Events like the raising of al-Qaeda flags over a number of liberated areas, the appearance of organizations like the Mujahedeen Shura Council, the emergence of the term The Al Sham Principality [reference to a new caliphate], along with information recently passed from a Jordanian security source to a Saudi newspaper that Jordanian authorities have observed approximately 6,000 al-Qaeda members crossing into Syria, are ringing alarm bells in the region.

Al-Qaeda played no role in the formation of the revolution, nor has it had a role in its later stages, but it is entering the fray at the end to try and reap the harvest, after all the sacrifices made by the Syrian people to ensure the success of their revolution and claim their just reward. As is its habit, al-Qaeda is operating in a very Machiavellian way, its first mission being to push aside the Free Syrian Army after accusing its members of being infidels and committing treason. That phase will be a bloody one, and while we might know where and when it starts, it is impossible to know its range in terms of time or geography.
