Syria envoy warns conflict a threat to world peace
Published in Arab News Agency on 15 - 09 - 2012

The new international envoy tasked with ending Syria's civil war said Saturday he still had no clear idea on how to proceed, but that it was "terribly important" to end a conflict that he warned was now a threat to regional and world peace.
Lakhdar Brahimi's bleak comments followed his first meeting with President Bashar Assad since taking up the job he himself has called "nearly impossible."
Brahimi replaced former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan who left the job in frustration in August after his efforts failed to stem a conflict that started in March 2011 with an uprising to topple Assad.
Speaking to reporters at a news conference in Damascus Saturday, Brahimi said the crisis in Syria is "very dangerous," and the gap between the political parties widening.
"I repeat that I currently don't have a plan. We will build a working plan after listening to all internal, regional and international parties, hoping this plan would open the way for the salvation of Syria," Brahimi said.
The veteran Algerian diplomat's three-day visit to Syria that began Thursday has involved meetings with both officials and opposition leaders. He says the goal is to help him plan his initiative to end the crisis.
