Bashar Assad has denied claims that the bloodshed in Syria is being caused by government troops murdering its own people. Instead, Assad asserts that there has been an invasion of foreign terrorists who are attempting to overthrow the government. He has mocked opposition calls for democracy, citing its instability. Assad has made it clear that he is not interested in the U.N Peace Plan.
I chose this article because I wanted to see if there have been any significant changes in Syria over the past couple of weeks, and apparently that hasn't. There is still violence and the U.N peace plan has had virtually no effect on the violence. This article was well written, and I enjoyed reading it.
