Brahimi has Syria plan world powers may adopt
AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE
CAIRO: Peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said today he has a proposal to end the deadly 21-month conflict in Syria “that could be adopted by the international community.”
“I have discussed this plan with Russia and Syria... I think this proposal could be adopted by the international community,” the UN and Arab League envoy said in Egypt after meeting League chief Nabil al-Arabi.
The situation in Syria “is very bad and getting worse by the day,” added Brahimi a day after warning in Moscow that Damascus faced a choice between “hell or the political process.” “There is a proposal for a political solution based on the Geneva declaration foreseeing a ceasefire, forming a government with complete prerogatives and a plan for parliamentary and presidential elections,” he said, referring to a failed peace initiative that world powers agreed to in Geneva in June.
“Either there is a political solution in Syria” or the country risks a descent into a Somalia-like situation, Brahimi told reporters.
