Diplomat: Brahimi will retreat as peace envoy to Syria

Dia ingin mengundurkan diri karena dia merasa Liga Arab telah berjalan sendiri yang berbeda dari PBB."

PBB (News and Us) - Utusan perdamaian Suriah Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa-Liga Arab Lakhdar Brahimi berada di ambang pengunduran diri karena frustrasi atas usaha-usaha internasional yang buntu untuk mengakhiri konflik yang memburuk itu, kata sejumlah diplomat Rabu.

Brahimi, yang menggantikan peran mantan pemimpin PBB Kofi Annan pada Agustus tahun lalu, sudah "tak tahan dan berniat mundur tetapi dibujuk untuk bertahan untuk selama beberapa hari lagi," kata satu diplomat Dewan Keamanan PBB, lapor AFP.

"Dia menyampaikan keinginannya kepada tiap orang bahwa dia ingin mundur karena sedikit harapan kalau dia akan tetap pada perannya," kata seorang diplomat Arab di PBB kepada AFP.

Seperti Annan, Brahimi frustrasi oleh perbedaan internasional atas masalah Suriah. Rusia mendukung Presiden Bashar al-Assad sementara negara-negara Barat dan Teluk memberikan peningkatan dukungan kepada oposisi Suriah.

Perang saudara di negara itu telah merenggut lebih 70.000 jiwa sejak pergolakan menentang Bashar meletus pada Maret 2011 dan kedua pihak telah makin kukuh pada pendirian masing-masing.

Brahimi, 79 tahun, telah dikritik oleh oposisi Suriah dan pemerintahan Bashar mengatakan pekan lalu pihaknya tak akan lagi bekerja sama dengan dia.

Tapi keputusan Liga Arab untuk mengakui Koalisi Nasional Suriah yang beroposisi sebagai pemerintah sah Suriah merupakan keputusasaan terakhir bagi Brahimi, kata beberapa diplomat.

"Dia ingin mengundurkan diri karena dia merasa Liga Arab telah berjalan sendiri yang berbeda dari PBB," kata diplomat DK PBB itu.

Sekretaris Jenderal PBB Ban Ki-moon dan mitranya dari Liga Arab Nabil al-Arabi mengadakan pembicaraan baru tentang konflik Suriah pada Selasa, kata beberapa pejabat.

Brahimi, mantan menteri luar negeri Aljazair dan utusan PBB di Afghanistan dan Irak, mengakui ketika dia mengambil peran itu bahwa dia menghadapi pertempuran berat.

Rusia dan China memveto tiga resolusi dewan itu yang berupaya menekan Bashar. Negara-negara Arab, Amerika Serikat, Inggris dan Prancis malah meningkatkan bantuan bagi kelompok-kelompok oposisi dalam beberapa bulan terakhir.

Ban, al-Arabi dan semua lima anggota DK PBB -- Amerika Serikat, Inggris, Prancis, China dan Rusia -- menginginkan Brahimi tetap pada posisinya, kata beberapa diplomat.

Utusan itu pada Senin di Washington bertemu dengan Menteri mLuar Negeri AS John Kerry, yang berusaha meyakinkan dia jangan mundur, kata diplomat-diplomat. Tapi tak jelas apakah Kerry membuat janji mengenai usaha-usaha politik baru untuk mengakhiri konflik itu. (M016)

"There are a number of options which allow current to me, available at the ' shelves ' at this time but haven't we put out, and it is a series of options," said Obama, while saying he had asked the Pentagon's plan, with no further leaking.

One of the initial steps were taken immediately after President Obama's request to close Guantanamo Bay prison. But four years later, the prison remains in operation and become dust us face the world expunge an unlimited and now repeatedly hit by acts of a hunger strike by some prisoners who undergo suffering.

"I'll be back to fight for it," Obama said while warning that the situation in the camps was "not sustainable" and blamed the Congress that has Scotch closure efforts.

"It costs dearly. Inefficient. Gnaw US in the Association. Reduce cooperation with several countries in counterterrorism efforts. Even become a recruiting tool the extremists. "

"This continued ... the problem will not be improved. Will only worsen. And will rot, "Obama said, while adding that the hunger strike action should be aware of the people and the u.s. Government think how punishing the better, limiting and return prisoners no longer considered dangerous.

I am sure there is a way that can be done to change the attitude of the current President Bashar (who wish to remain in power). "

Washington (Reuters)-Washington currently trying to convince Syria President Bashar al-Assad to step down from his post and accept the consequences, "inevitable", said United States Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday.

"I am sure there is a way that can be done to change the attitude of the current President Bashar (who wish to remain in power)," said Kerry told reporters, AFP reported.

The highest United States Diplomat did not disclose in detail the steps that will be undertaken to convince Bashar, but on the other hand claimed to have a "good omen" for the success of the plan.

Kerry, who recently met with Jordan's Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, was confident the withdrawal of Bashar is the "inevitable" given the condition of the civil war in Syria at the moment.

"Currently, conditions in Syria is still not able to compel him to go down, but in the future it is inevitable," said Kerry.

United States currently proposed solutions that could be negotiated to end the civil war that had lasted for 23 months and killed an estimated 70,000 people in Syria, said Kerry.

The purpose of the Act is the United States to avoid "splitting into two countries, Syria because it is very dangerous and can produce the most likely bad for all concerned."

In addition, Kerry indicated that Jordan would urge the United States, along with Russia, which is an ally of Syria, to put more pressure for Bashar to be willing to step down.

Moscow has been getting criticism for maintaining good relations with the regime of Bashar while fighting with guerrillas of the opposition groups. The country is also rumored to hold supplies weapons to the Government in Damascus.

"I still have hopes that Russia and the United States can find the similarity principle in this issue," Kerry said while adding that King Abdullah II of Jordan will visit Moscow.

Meanwhile, Judeh said that "the situation in Syria is currently untenable" and revealed that there had been "general agreement among the international community" about the need for a political dialogue.

"We need more ways and appropriate measures to bridge wide differences over setting a deadline for settlement of the conflict," he said.

"As such, we can conduct political dialogue that resulted in a solution that was agreed upon by all parties, namely the transition and completion of the violence," said Judeh.

A diplomat from Russia on Wednesday said that the Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem and leader of the opposition group National Coalition Moaz al-Khatib Ahmed will travel to Moscow separately in the next few weeks. (G005)
