Political risks to watch in Jordan

AMMAN: Jordan's King Abdullah faces growing challenges ranging from protests fuelled by economic hardship and demands for reform to resistance within his tribal power base over political liberalisation that could weaken its influence.
Jordan's defining faultline between its "East Bank" and Palestinian citizens also poses a long-term threat.
Having seen the uprisings sweeping the Arab world, Abdullah has tried to implement long-promised political reform, despite opposition from a security apparatus and bloated bureaucracy whose salaries eat up most of the $9 billion budget.
The most far-reaching has been a package of constitutional amendments proposed last August to empower parliament and pave the way for the prime minister to emerge from a parliamentary majority instead of being picked by the king.
To head off civil unrest, authorities expanded subsidies to the tune of $1.4 billion and channelled tens of millions of dollars to develop provincial areas and offer more handouts to East Bank citizens used to preferential treatment in state jobs.
The moves took some of the steam out of protests which broke out across the resource-poor kingdom since January, but did not stop disgruntled indigenous East Bankers from jockeying for a bigger share of state perks.
The state's support of East Bankers, who hold political power, in budget allocations and subsidies has also brought to the surface underlying tensions between them and the country's majority population of Palestinian origin.
Analysts say that by sacking a much-criticised prime minister in October, the king defused political tensions that had grown after pro-reform rallies were met with violence by members of conservative tribes.
But a reform-minded premier Awn Khasawneh, a judge who worked at the Hague-based International Court of Justice, faces an uphill task of reversing a legacy of perceived official corruption and mismanagement.
East Bank Jordanian tribes, who form the bedrock of support for Abdullah's Hashemite monarchy, felt threatened by falling state benefits brought about by the global financial crisis and economic reforms of previous governments, as well as any prospect for political empowerment of Palestinian Jordanians.
Palestinians dominate business but are sharply under-represented in politics. Electoral laws ensure that urban centres where most of them live return far fewer parliamentarians per voter than rural tribal areas.
Protests have broken out in East Bank tribal strongholds as well as around Amman, where Palestinians -- and Islamists, who form the most popular political force -- are concentrated.
Although all demonstrators have been chanting for reform, East Bank protests are motivated largely by concerns over state jobs and benefits that go to pro-state tribal leaders, while demonstrations in Amman are fuelled by a sense of injustice in Jordan's electoral laws.
Even before the wave of protests inspired by the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, Jordan witnessed an escalation of violence in provincial regions that are strongholds of East Bank tribes, fuelled partly by competition for the dwindling number of jobs provided by the state and perceptions the capital Amman was being favoured by a bigger share of investments and wealth.
Jordan hosts the largest number of Palestinian refugees and when the kingdom made peace with Israel in 1994 it got no guarantee of right of return for its Palestinian citizens.
Analysts say the issue would come to the fore if the breakdown in Middle East peace talks raises the prospect of a permanent settlement of Jordanians of Palestinian origin.
To head off the unrest that has swept the Arab world, the government introduced extra social spending packages and subsidies since January ranging from salary rises for civil servants to a freeze in gasoline price rises and lower taxes on basic commodities.
The extra spending has pushed up the projected 2011 budget deficit to a forecast 6.2 percent of GDP. Officials hope that Gulf aid, especially from Saudi Arabia, will partially offset lower revenues and sluggish business.
But economic sanctions on neighbouring Syria, which is a major business partner, have angered importers who say it will raise costs and deal another blow to a stagnant economy.
Expansion of spending on civil service salaries and pensions, which form 80 percent of the budget, has pushed debt beyond a legally permissible 60 percent of GDP, analysts say.
Khasawneh's government aims to hike electricity prices and reduce subsidies on energy to bring fiscal consolidation.
But rising pressures from the country's powerful state bureaucracy and expected civil salary rises will test the ability of the government to reduce spending. This has sent negative signals to the vibrant private sector, which the treasury relies on to generate jobs and taxes.
It could jeopardise a modest growth target of around 3 percent in 2012, from a lower forecast 2.3 percent this year as the economy struggles to recover.

العقارات تسجل انخفاضاً طفيفاً في الأسعار
Real estate recorded a slight decline in prices
http://www.sana.sy/ara/4/2011/12/21/389777.htm
December 21, .2011
Damascus, (SANA) -
The real estate market has been on edge caution in terms of lower prices witnessed some provinces a slight decrease in a time when other provinces recession as a result of high ceiling prices for its properties for several months and some observers believe that the market has reached a stage of delinquency, despite the availability of supply as a result of speculation, some traders that contributed to high land prices and thus prices of residential and commercial units.
The economic expert Qais Khader that the market has reached the stage of stagflation, a combination of recession surplus of supply against the lack of demand and inflation, increase the demand total for the overall width has led to continuing high prices compared to low purchasing power, indicating that the market is unable to regulate itself, hence the need to be government intervention and not to entrust it to the influential merchants resolve this problem they were causing speculation and disrupted demand and contributed to aggravate the problem and in particular that there are a lot of empty apartments declined for most of the owners hope to sell up their prices even more.
According to Khadr that to address this problem could contribute to the government corrects the path of this sector to a large extent by increasing the supply through direct intervention and put new real estate projects so as not to keep supply limited, however, merchants and property owners, through the companies supported by it is to achieve fair competition and adjust the prices in addition to increasing taxes on property owners and private non-populated according to the system slides and this is a means of pressure to move the market and operate the housing finance to suit the structure and specificity of the different segments of society.
And in some areas of Damascus a slight decline at its properties by 10 percent or less what he considered some of the traders are beginning to decline in a prospective, noting that some who were clinging to the roof given the prices of Sales waived him as a result of huge turnout witnessed in the market recently, sparking fears of a sharp fall Vaguetnawa profit margin reasonable rather than potential loss.
The owner of a real estate office .. Entered into contracts for the sale of about five during the past two weeks, four of which are residential and one commercial rate ranged 17-19 thousand Syrian pounds for residential meters after the roof was from 19-22 thousand and 55 thousand for a commercial after that was 60 thousand.
Despite his assertion that the reduction motives were compelling but it did not rule out the presence of a fear of most owners to lower prices soon, especially Alhqiah of them who follow the way of hit and run.
And confirms the real-estate tycoon that the current crisis prompted the majority of savers to move towards real estate and raise its value to the highest levels of fear of deterioration of the value of the pound, but this will not last long that they could not stick to the ceiling high to have the units of residential, commercial and even land, where they will have later to liquidate assets of real estate to secure the liquidity for various investments and thus will lead to lower prices.
For his part, the economic expert, Dr. Abid Fadilah the real estate sector reached a stage requires a lot of solutions and treatment because of the surge in prices over the period 2005-2008 as a result of investments and the Syrian Arabic in this sector, profit and rent, and was shrouded from the speculation by buying land for the purposes of trafficking, rather than for the purposes of construction noting that the level of property prices compared with a high purchasing power and the level of prices in other sectors.
He Fadilah that bought during the boom will not sell at today's prices the real, which are commensurate with the weak demand in the sense that prices are assumed to be much lower than it now so we note that that drives the market is conditioned to buy and Almottagns of the opportunities and distressed for sale as much as he needs for liquidity.
Indicating that the price level between 20 and 70 percent of the normal level in the areas of commercial activity and investment, especially in major cities such as Damascus and Aleppo, but the parties ratio ranging between 10-20 percent and in the provinces least as mayor of al-Raqqah, for example, we find that the gains logical and justified by the high land prices and construction materials.
According Fadilah some fear that exacerbated the housing problem and to see price rises to higher levels than it is now after the imposition of sanctions, Arab Syria and stop flow of capital to this sector and in particular it did not settle at a fixed roof in light of the investment boom and the increase in the volume of supply, how will the same After shrinking investments as a result of these sanctions.
He Fadilah .. So as not to underestimate the Tenth Five Year Plan should be recognized that there is investment began moving in all sectors, but most have been in the real estate sector and the financial, insurance, telecommunications and did not go only a small part to the productive sectors of real and I consider that any economic investment is positive, but when the capital relatively limited, there must be priorities in the last period there was a relative scarcity of capital and we need more than was spent.
And that when they talk about sanctions and stop investments, "We confirm that it is not huge investments not only in terms of quality and priorities" and although it was important but that the Syrians have the funds invest in Arab countries more than they invested the Arabs in Syria do not want to go Arab funds to the real estate sector only for the purchase of land speculation and to increase their value.

العقارات تسجل انخفاضاً طفيفاً في الأسعار
Real estate recorded a slight decline in prices
http://www.sana.sy/ara/4/2011/12/21/389777.htm
December 21, .2011
Damascus, (SANA) -
The real estate market has been on edge caution in terms of lower prices witnessed some provinces a slight decrease in a time when other provinces recession as a result of high ceiling prices for its properties for several months and some observers believe that the market has reached a stage of delinquency, despite the availability of supply as a result of speculation, some traders that contributed to high land prices and thus prices of residential and commercial units.
The economic expert Qais Khader that the market has reached the stage of stagflation, a combination of recession surplus of supply against the lack of demand and inflation, increase the demand total for the overall width has led to continuing high prices compared to low purchasing power, indicating that the market is unable to regulate itself, hence the need to be government intervention and not to entrust it to the influential merchants resolve this problem they were causing speculation and disrupted demand and contributed to aggravate the problem and in particular that there are a lot of empty apartments declined for most of the owners hope to sell up their prices even more.
According to Khadr that to address this problem could contribute to the government corrects the path of this sector to a large extent by increasing the supply through direct intervention and put new real estate projects so as not to keep supply limited, however, merchants and property owners, through the companies supported by it is to achieve fair competition and adjust the prices in addition to increasing taxes on property owners and private non-populated according to the system slides and this is a means of pressure to move the market and operate the housing finance to suit the structure and specificity of the different segments of society.
And in some areas of Damascus a slight decline at its properties by 10 percent or less what he considered some of the traders are beginning to decline in a prospective, noting that some who were clinging to the roof given the prices of Sales waived him as a result of huge turnout witnessed in the market recently, sparking fears of a sharp fall Vaguetnawa profit margin reasonable rather than potential loss.
The owner of a real estate office .. Entered into contracts for the sale of about five during the past two weeks, four of which are residential and one commercial rate ranged 17-19 thousand Syrian pounds for residential meters after the roof was from 19-22 thousand and 55 thousand for a commercial after that was 60 thousand.
Despite his assertion that the reduction motives were compelling but it did not rule out the presence of a fear of most owners to lower prices soon, especially Alhqiah of them who follow the way of hit and run.
And confirms the real-estate tycoon that the current crisis prompted the majority of savers to move towards real estate and raise its value to the highest levels of fear of deterioration of the value of the pound, but this will not last long that they could not stick to the ceiling high to have the units of residential, commercial and even land, where they will have later to liquidate assets of real estate to secure the liquidity for various investments and thus will lead to lower prices.
For his part, the economic expert, Dr. Abid Fadilah the real estate sector reached a stage requires a lot of solutions and treatment because of the surge in prices over the period 2005-2008 as a result of investments and the Syrian Arabic in this sector, profit and rent, and was shrouded from the speculation by buying land for the purposes of trafficking, rather than for the purposes of construction noting that the level of property prices compared with a high purchasing power and the level of prices in other sectors.
He Fadilah that bought during the boom will not sell at today's prices the real, which are commensurate with the weak demand in the sense that prices are assumed to be much lower than it now so we note that that drives the market is conditioned to buy and Almottagns of the opportunities and distressed for sale as much as he needs for liquidity.
Indicating that the price level between 20 and 70 percent of the normal level in the areas of commercial activity and investment, especially in major cities such as Damascus and Aleppo, but the parties ratio ranging between 10-20 percent and in the provinces least as mayor of al-Raqqah, for example, we find that the gains logical and justified by the high land prices and construction materials.
According Fadilah some fear that exacerbated the housing problem and to see price rises to higher levels than it is now after the imposition of sanctions, Arab Syria and stop flow of capital to this sector and in particular it did not settle at a fixed roof in light of the investment boom and the increase in the volume of supply, how will the same After shrinking investments as a result of these sanctions.
He Fadilah .. So as not to underestimate the Tenth Five Year Plan should be recognized that there is investment began moving in all sectors, but most have been in the real estate sector and the financial, insurance, telecommunications and did not go only a small part to the productive sectors of real and I consider that any economic investment is positive, but when the capital relatively limited, there must be priorities in the last period there was a relative scarcity of capital and we need more than was spent.
And that when they talk about sanctions and stop investments, "We confirm that it is not huge investments not only in terms of quality and priorities" and although it was important but that the Syrians have the funds invest in Arab countries more than they invested the Arabs in Syria do not want to go Arab funds to the real estate sector only for the purchase of land speculation and to increase their value.

Syria finally accepted an Arab League protocol, allowing foreign observers into the country to monitor the ongoing unrest. The 10-month crisis has now reached a new level which denotes the onset of foreign interference in Syria.
This decision was very difficult for Damascus, but it has also created trouble for some of the Syrian opposition groups as well as some member states of the Arab League. The main opposition group (The Syrian National Council) described the decision a trick by the government to buy time, and accused the Arab League of giving President Bashar Assad enough time to go on with the measures which it called internal suppression.
The Arab League Foreign Ministers' meeting on Syria scheduled to be held on Wednesday was postponed indefinitely. It seems that the Saudi and Qatari governments expected to receive a negative response from Syria and materialize their threat of referring Syria's case to the United Nations Security Council, the same job they did about Libya which paved the ground for foreign military interference in the country.
Damascus signed the protocol in an effort to prevent economic sanctions imposed on Syria by the Arab League. Damascus' plan, however, doesn't seem to be lead to their favorable conclusion very soon since for lifting the sanctions and ending Syria's suspension of membership in the Arab League, the majority of the the members of the bloc should vote in favor of the bid. It is clear that an important faction of the Arab League would not agree on lifting the sanctions unless Syria implements the protocol and withdraws the military from towns and residential districts, releases political prisoners, and allows foreign reporters to enter and move freely in the country.
Damascus accepted the protocol under foreign pressure. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem noted that the final modification of the protocol has included 70 percent of the changes sought by Damascus. Five hundred of the Arab League observers will be deployed around the country in groups of 10. Syria says it cannot guarantee the safety of the observers in the areas which are scenes of military confrontation.
Some believe that Damascus was forced to sign the protocol to prevent the Arab League to present the case to the UN Security Council and stop Qatar and Saudi Arabia which work in accordance with the US Department of State.
Even if Syria's case had been sent to the Security Council, it would have been countered by Russia's draft resolution on Syria. In its resolution, Russia has condemned all forms of violence, both from the government and the opposition armed groups. Adoption of the resolution would amount to international admission of two-way violence in Syria and non-peaceful nature of the opposition to Bashar Assad.
Some influential Western states have already indicated their opposition to Russia's resolution and hopes for its adoption, at least in its current form, are dim. Moscow and Beijing, however, have shown that they will not budge from their position. That is, they serve as a powerful barrier in the Security Council against any resolution which may be formulated by the Western states. If Syria's case is going to be discussed at the Security Council, it would be better for Damascus that this is done by Russia and China, rather than the Arab League, some of whose members are clearly implementing the West's plans.
Will signing the protocol for entry of foreign observers into Syria, along with the draft resolution prepared by Russia and China, lead to a face-saving deal for all sides and satisfy Western countries, the Arab League, Moscow, Beijing and Damascus alike? Under present circumstances, such an agreement seems to be well-nigh impossible unless all parties reach the conclusion that the situation in Syria is not explosive. They should be convinced that they have to accept a model similar to what was implemented in Yemen. In this model, transfer of power will take place through an agreement among Syria's opposition groups, the government, as well as regional and international players.
What kind of people will be sent into Syria as observers by the Arab League? Will a government like Syria agree to monthly extension of their mission? Is it possible that presence of observers may catalyze more demonstrations and protests? These questions will be answered in the future, but it is clear from now that the Arab League lacks necessary experience to carry out such an extensive plan. On the opposite, Syrian officials have a lot of experience in political affairs.
Differences among Assad's opponents have been profound enough to bar them from forming an alliance after 10 months. This division has even prevented the Western states (despite serious efforts by Washington, Paris, London) from recognizing the Syrian opposition in the way that they did for Libya's National Transitional Council.
Some opposition figures have announced that if the Syrian government continues suppression of protests while Arab League's observers are in Syria, they will request deployment of an Arab deterrence force in the country. Such illusionary idea clearly shows how ignorant the Syrian opposition and their supporters are of the real situation in the Arab world.

He added that "Qatar wants to end Iraq's role at the borders of the signing of the Protocol on the observers, and to withdraw the case to it for certain considerations, which can abort the Iraqi initiative because it continues to not end the signature, but we can say that the next phase is the most important, especially at the level of coordination the level of dialogue on the Iraqi Syrian - Arab, and Syrian - Syrian.

Dec 21, 2011
AMMAN, (SANA) - The Socialist Thought Forum in Irbid governorate, northern Jordan, on Wednesday held a dialogue session on the misleading media's role in distorting facts and the reality of events taking place in Syria.
The participants stressed that the media instigation against Syria aims at creating a public opinion that is hostile towards the Resistance in the region, underlining the importance of intensifying the role of objective media in the current stage to counter the misleading practiced by some biased media.
Member of the Jordanian Popular Committee for Supporting Syria, Yehiya Hreis, said in a statement to the Syrian TV that media is being used as one of the tools of the U.S.-Zionist plot in the region to create a hostile public opinion towards the Resistance, through mobilizing for this purpose a large number of misleading satellite channels such as al-Jazeera, al-Arabiya, BBC and al-Hurra.
For her part, Rana Saad Eddin, a member of the Committee, said that some of these satellite channels worked hard over the past few years to gain the confidence of the Arab citizens before inciting them in service of certain goals.
Jordan urged to probe Syria arms sale suspect death

AMMAN: Human Rights Watch urged Prime Minister Awn Khaswaneh on Wednesday to probe the death in custody of a 20-year-old Jordanian man, who allegedly helped two Syrians buy arms.
It called for an "independent inquiry into the death of Najem Zubi ... when in detention at the military intelligence offices in Amman, on November 16, 2011," in a letter to the prime minister.
"To date, we are not aware of any investigation being launched into the case by a military prosecutor," said the letter from Christoph Wilcke, a HRW senior researcher.
Wilcke added that even if the military were to investigate, HRW would continue to urge an independent inquiry "since military justice in Jordan lacks the requisite measure of independence."
Jordanian officials have said Zubi, a taxi driver from the northern town of Ramtha, was arrested along with two Syrians whom he took to an arms dealer, adding that he "hanged himself with his bedding" while in detention.
His death sparked violent reaction from his relatives, who belong to one of the largest tribes in northern Jordan. Accusing the authorities of killing the man, his family blocked a road to neighbouring Syria after setting fire to the governor's offices, the courthouse and a police car.
Residents of Ramtha, which lies across the border from the restive Syrian city of Daraa, often smuggle clothes, food and other goods across the frontier.
But border controls have been stepped up since the outbreak of a deadly anti-regime revolt in Syria in March.

Iran envoy meets Rai, praises Syria over decision to allow in observers

http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Politics/2011/Dec-20/157417-iran-envoy-meets-rai-praises-syria-over-decision-to-allow-in-observers.ashx
BKIRKI, Lebanon: Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghadanfar Rukn Abadi, following talks with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rai, praised Tuesday Syria's recent decision to allow in Arab monitors into the country.
Speaking to reporters at Bkirki, the seat of the influential Maronite patriarchate, Rukn Abadi described as "very positive" Syria's approval of the Arab League plan.
In a news conference Monday, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said that Damascus had signed a protocol to allow in observers after the organization agreed to 70 percent of the changes proposed by Syrian government.
Hours after Damascus' approval of the protocol, Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby said an advanced team led by a top Arab League official would head to Syria in two or three days to prepare for the arrival of monitors, which would include journalists and security officials.
In a report last week, the U.N. said over 5,000 people had been killed as a result of the crackdown by Damascus. Syrian authorities blame the unrest in the country on a conspiracy aimed at toppling the Syrian leadership.
On the meeting with the Maronite patriarch, Rukn Abadi said he and Rai discussed both regional and global developments as well as bilateral relations between Iran and Lebanon.
"We focused in particular on the U.S.-backed Zionist project at [both] the regional and international levels and the achievements obtained day after day by protectors of rights and truth in the world," Rukn Abadi said.
He said talks also focused on a Muslim-Christian dialogue scheduled for Jan. 17, 2012, which will be attended by delegations from the Middle East and North Africa, the Iranian envoy said.

Start of foreign interference in Syria
Wed Dec 21, 2011 2:25AM
By Mohyeddin Sajedi
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/216884.html
Syria finally accepted an Arab League protocol, allowing foreign observers into the country to monitor the ongoing unrest. The 10-month crisis has now reached a new level which denotes the onset of foreign interference in Syria.
This decision was very difficult for Damascus, but it has also created trouble for some of the Syrian opposition groups as well as some member states of the Arab League. The main opposition group (The Syrian National Council) described the decision a trick by the government to buy time, and accused the Arab League of giving President Bashar Assad enough time to go on with the measures which it called internal suppression.
The Arab League Foreign Ministers' meeting on Syria scheduled to be held on Wednesday was postponed indefinitely. It seems that the Saudi and Qatari governments expected to receive a negative response from Syria and materialize their threat of referring Syria's case to the United Nations Security Council, the same job they did about Libya which paved the ground for foreign military interference in the country.
Damascus signed the protocol in an effort to prevent economic sanctions imposed on Syria by the Arab League. Damascus' plan, however, doesn't seem to be lead to their favorable conclusion very soon since for lifting the sanctions and ending Syria's suspension of membership in the Arab League, the majority of the the members of the bloc should vote in favor of the bid. It is clear that an important faction of the Arab League would not agree on lifting the sanctions unless Syria implements the protocol and withdraws the military from towns and residential districts, releases political prisoners, and allows foreign reporters to enter and move freely in the country.
Damascus accepted the protocol under foreign pressure. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem noted that the final modification of the protocol has included 70 percent of the changes sought by Damascus. Five hundred of the Arab League observers will be deployed around the country in groups of 10. Syria says it cannot guarantee the safety of the observers in the areas which are scenes of military confrontation.
Some believe that Damascus was forced to sign the protocol to prevent the Arab League to present the case to the UN Security Council and stop Qatar and Saudi Arabia which work in accordance with the US Department of State.
Even if Syria's case had been sent to the Security Council, it would have been countered by Russia's draft resolution on Syria. In its resolution, Russia has condemned all forms of violence, both from the government and the opposition armed groups. Adoption of the resolution would amount to international admission of two-way violence in Syria and non-peaceful nature of the opposition to Bashar Assad.
Some influential Western states have already indicated their opposition to Russia's resolution and hopes for its adoption, at least in its current form, are dim. Moscow and Beijing, however, have shown that they will not budge from their position. That is, they serve as a powerful barrier in the Security Council against any resolution which may be formulated by the Western states. If Syria's case is going to be discussed at the Security Council, it would be better for Damascus that this is done by Russia and China, rather than the Arab League, some of whose members are clearly implementing the West's plans.
Will signing the protocol for entry of foreign observers into Syria, along with the draft resolution prepared by Russia and China, lead to a face-saving deal for all sides and satisfy Western countries, the Arab League, Moscow, Beijing and Damascus alike? Under present circumstances, such an agreement seems to be well-nigh impossible unless all parties reach the conclusion that the situation in Syria is not explosive. They should be convinced that they have to accept a model similar to what was implemented in Yemen. In this model, transfer of power will take place through an agreement among Syria's opposition groups, the government, as well as regional and international players.
What kind of people will be sent into Syria as observers by the Arab League? Will a government like Syria agree to monthly extension of their mission? Is it possible that presence of observers may catalyze more demonstrations and protests? These questions will be answered in the future, but it is clear from now that the Arab League lacks necessary experience to carry out such an extensive plan. On the opposite, Syrian officials have a lot of experience in political affairs.
Differences among Assad's opponents have been profound enough to bar them from forming an alliance after 10 months. This division has even prevented the Western states (despite serious efforts by Washington, Paris, London) from recognizing the Syrian opposition in the way that they did for Libya's National Transitional Council.
Some opposition figures have announced that if the Syrian government continues suppression of protests while Arab League's observers are in Syria, they will request deployment of an Arab deterrence force in the country. Such illusionary idea clearly shows how ignorant the Syrian opposition and their supporters are of the real situation in the Arab world.

He added that "Qatar wants to end Iraq's role at the borders of the signing of the Protocol on the observers, and to withdraw the case to it for certain considerations, which can abort the Iraqi initiative because it continues to not end the signature, but we can say that the next phase is the most important, especially at the level of coordination the level of dialogue on the Iraqi Syrian - Arab, and Syrian - Syrian.

Dec 21, 2011
AMMAN, (SANA) - The Socialist Thought Forum in Irbid governorate, northern Jordan, on Wednesday held a dialogue session on the misleading media's role in distorting facts and the reality of events taking place in Syria.
The participants stressed that the media instigation against Syria aims at creating a public opinion that is hostile towards the Resistance in the region, underlining the importance of intensifying the role of objective media in the current stage to counter the misleading practiced by some biased media.
Member of the Jordanian Popular Committee for Supporting Syria, Yehiya Hreis, said in a statement to the Syrian TV that media is being used as one of the tools of the U.S.-Zionist plot in the region to create a hostile public opinion towards the Resistance, through mobilizing for this purpose a large number of misleading satellite channels such as al-Jazeera, al-Arabiya, BBC and al-Hurra.
For her part, Rana Saad Eddin, a member of the Committee, said that some of these satellite channels worked hard over the past few years to gain the confidence of the Arab citizens before inciting them in service of certain goals.

AMMAN: Human Rights Watch urged Prime Minister Awn Khaswaneh on Wednesday to probe the death in custody of a 20-year-old Jordanian man, who allegedly helped two Syrians buy arms.
It called for an "independent inquiry into the death of Najem Zubi ... when in detention at the military intelligence offices in Amman, on November 16, 2011," in a letter to the prime minister.
"To date, we are not aware of any investigation being launched into the case by a military prosecutor," said the letter from Christoph Wilcke, a HRW senior researcher.
Wilcke added that even if the military were to investigate, HRW would continue to urge an independent inquiry "since military justice in Jordan lacks the requisite measure of independence."
Jordanian officials have said Zubi, a taxi driver from the northern town of Ramtha, was arrested along with two Syrians whom he took to an arms dealer, adding that he "hanged himself with his bedding" while in detention.
His death sparked violent reaction from his relatives, who belong to one of the largest tribes in northern Jordan. Accusing the authorities of killing the man, his family blocked a road to neighbouring Syria after setting fire to the governor's offices, the courthouse and a police car.
Residents of Ramtha, which lies across the border from the restive Syrian city of Daraa, often smuggle clothes, food and other goods across the frontier.
But border controls have been stepped up since the outbreak of a deadly anti-regime revolt in Syria in March.

MOSCOW, (SANA) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in a phone call with the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, called for exerting effective influence on the Syrian opposition to help stabilize the situation in Syria.
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday stated that Lavrov and Clinton also discussed working with the Syrian sides within the framework of the Arab work plan.
Russia helps Syria keep the West away
21.12.2011

On December 19, Syria allowed Arab League observers to enter its territory. The observers will try to see that the Syrian government has been trying to end bloody clashes in the country peacefully. Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi stated that the observers could fly to Syria in the next 72 hours.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem stated that the country signed the protocol following the recommendations from the Russian partners. If Syria had declined the plan of the Arab League, the organization would have introduced sanctions against the country.
It may seem at first sight that the Syrian regime has surrendered. Arab and Israeli media outlets said that Damascus had accepted all requirements of the Arab initiative under Russia's pressure. To put it in a nutshell, Syria has manifested its weakness. However, Western publications say that Russia has played another trick to rescue the allied regime.
Those, who believe that the regime of Bashar Assad has lost the game, point out the fact that the Arab League observers would have to control the withdrawal of the troops from settlements, the liberation of all, who were arrested during the riots, and the beginning of the real dialogue between opposition and authorities.
It seems that Bashar Assad will dig his own grave, if he meets these requirements. For example, the cessation of the anti-terrorist operation in Homs and Idlib, would mean the appearance of the zone uncontrollable by the government. The zone would then quickly develop into the analogue of Libya's Benghazi - the springboard to overthrow the regime.
The same can be said about the liberation of all who took guns in their hands to protest against the regime of the Syrian leader. To crown it all, what kind of a dialogue can they have with the opposition? It is an open secret that the opposition activists, who do not want Assad to go, are already in talks with him. As for the analogue of the Syrian transitional national council, they can only accept Assad's capitulation.
One of the leaders of the Syrian National Committee, Ali Salim Assad, said in an interview with Pravda.Ru that the decision to let the observers in did not mean that Syria had surrendered.
It appears that observers from Russia, China and other countries will arrive in Syria together with the Arab League observers. They will not let the AL observers distort the information about the events in the country.
Ali Salim Assad also said that the Syrian regime may agree to withdraw the troops from the problematic zones indeed.
"If it happens, it will not mean that we will give those areas under the power of the insurgents. The army units can be replaced with internal troops and special forces subordinated to the Interior Ministry. As for the liberation of the imprisoned adversaries of the regime, Bashar Assad had already amnestied them twice. Nearly 2,000 opposition activists were released, but those people did not have blood on their hands. Releasing terrorists is out of the question.
"As for the possible dialogue with the opposition, I can say that the government is already in talks with those who want to talk. However, the West - the USA in the first place - does not want that. It's enough to resort to adequate statements from several top US officials, including Hillary Clinton. They urged the Syrian opposition to fight against Bashar Assad's regime."
On December 15, Russian officials distributed a draft resolution among the members of the UN Security Council. The resolution supports the cessation of violence in the country that has taken the lives of over 5,000 people. The resolution also condemns the violence used by both the government and the opposition, including the "inadequate use of force by the Syrian authorities."
The document also says that the Syrian administration should cooperate with independent international commission for the investigation of the facts of death of Syrian citizens. According to Vitaly Churkin, a Russian ambassador at the UN, the draft resolution mentions nothing about counterproductive sanctions against Syria.
Western officials have already criticized the document and said that it could not be accepted. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland stated that the US administration would like to see tougher sanctions against Syria in the text of the resolution.
What is more, Western politicians assumed that Russia was playing another trick to keep the Syrian ally. The Russian draft resolution stipulates the prohibition of arms supplies to Syrian gunmen, as well as a complex of adequate measures on the part of the international community.
The West intends to torpedo the Russian resolution, because the document will make it hard to overthrow Assad. Nevertheless, Russia's actions come in handy to Syria. Moscow virtually hampers the measures against the Syrian ally.
It is absolutely clear that the arrival of Arab League observers in Syria is not going to change anything for the better. The League coordinates its actions with the West and Turkey. However, they can help Syria win some time. It is extremely important for the sitting regime to conduct the parliamentary elections in the country in the beginning of March 2012.

This is Washington's plan for observers in Syria

"The sun would never set on the last day of an important Arab observers in Syria, but system and reeling, and the army defector, and the millions fill the main squares in all Syrian cities proclaiming the triumph of the revolution and the fall of President Bashar al-Assad."
Previously attributed to speak French sources (recently visited the Syrian capital) to Bernard Henri Levy, a man of the tasks of the Foundation of the World Zionist.
What makes Bernard Levy is confident that the mission of Arab observers in Syria will lead to topple the regime there?
At the end of the seventies description of a senior French journalists Henri Levy "beautiful face of the devil who hides his efforts to implement major crimes"
The Swiss intellectual Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of Hassan al-Banna was born in Geneva for Levy says: "It is a Zionist thinker hostile to Muslims and a culture of sectarianism in Europe."
Man model institution
Confirm identical information about - Levy - spelled Karhoh in France, and in the Jewish community itself, that the man is a distinct institution with its staff, and public relations firms affiliated, and also has customers in the Arab and Muslim worlds who range between businessmen, and between politicians, and political parties, opposition, figures, or military and Soliyn sell their country and its economy against the authority. (As well as review the statements and Burhan Ghaliyoun, Ghannouchi in Tunisia and Abdul Jalil in Libya and Abdul Ghafoor light Wahhabi leader in Egypt about the Israeli-Arab relations and the subject position and mild Alastzlami in front of the Zionist lobby supporting them).
Usually making fun lobby possibilities all Zionist institutions in the service of one man is in the original port faithful and sincere in the interest of Israel and its allies (Daniel Pipes is a fellow American Bernard Levy is like one of the so-called "people - The Foundation" who work on the international stage in the service of the Zionist lobby)
For this find that Henry Bernard Levy's friends - customers between the rebels and political leaders the Arabs and Africans and Asians and possibly Chechens and the Caucasus, and perhaps also his clients between the writers and academics working for the Zionist lobby in America, Europe and Atkamilon with him (Henry) of the sense that it is representative of the Zionist enterprise, and her face is culturally acceptable (Culture Here a tool to gain popularity and respect for the person who is a main factor in international politics run by the racist Zionist Kalloba)
This is what he says, for example, even a padded book "Bernard Henry Levy, a biography" by Philippe Cohen (published by Dar Fallard).
Information transmitted on French source (by the way, friends of Henri Levy) talks about a comprehensive plan developed by the U.S. administration and handed over is carried out to Henry Levy - or Guevara Arabs - agreed last with Qatari Foreign Minister, on what might be called the plan "Levy - Bin Jassim" to bring down Syria.
The plan include items such as:
(And always at the disposal of the source of the friends of Bernard Levy is known Boala reviews of inflation and the famous "ego" has made him a star since the sixties and the cover of star studios and programs Shaw French)
Plan Levy - Hamad bin Jassim
The first item:
Exploited to the approval of Syria on the Arab initiative and signed a cooperation protocol with the observers
Fun to meet his friendships in the Arab world to ensure that pumping millions of phone messages and e-mail and through the channels of the Zionist lobby in the Arab World (Do they mean channels of Lebanese and Saudi Arabian certain?) Calls on the Syrian people (and a certain range of it in particular) to exploit the opportunity and take to the streets in every city and occupation the squares.
While making fun Hamad bin Jassem at the same time a wealth of Qatar, and financial relations with the Syrian opposition, two branches of the internal and external, to activate the work of activists, organizers of the demonstrations, associated mostly with money financially in the country directly or through intermediaries.
Also, networks of friends Henri Levy in the Zionist lobby in the world, media, cultural and security, will be circulated psychological propaganda calling for the Syrians to exploit the opportunity of the overseas media in Syria with the observers, taking advantage leads to the occupation of public spaces in major cities, especially in Damascus and Aleppo, and in other cities population that refused to participate in the protests so far.
(Includes a list of all the Zionist lobby's friends friends America's Arab and international media, journalists, intellectuals, artists, and satellite TV networks and electronic news)
The second item:
The Bernard Levy coordinate the escalation of U.S. pressure, European, and Arab political, media, diplomatic and down to persuade the Russian diplomacy that Syria should offer a sacrifice of its officials and close associates of government in which to satisfy the opposition, which would not sit at the negotiating table only after the implementation of a number of conditions, and on her head trial Some of the officers responsible for the suppression of the demonstrators (and insurgents) in addition to demand that the Syrian authorities to provide some of what might be called the practices prove its good intentions, which will ask the Syrian government to give up, even partially, for the characters and put on the list of sanctions, Arab, American and European pending the results of investigations undertaken by the Arab observers on criminal liability for those who ordered the exposure of the demonstrators (and implicitly of the insurgency).
With the focus of a planned advance on the pricing of exposure media for all relatives of Syrian President, from the stick the subject of military actions, the fourth year, attributed the Western media the responsibility of leadership to the brother of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and the end of the link "Shabbihah" and crimes committed by them relatives of the President The President and his friends and their leaders trusted.
From here can understand the message the Western press, which restored to crack down on some of the characters Syrian economic memorandum of what he described as the need to get rid of them to satisfy the street (the number of business leaders who are committed to support the Syrian authorities and, in particular) has published the Daily Star, Lebanon related to the Americans (the number of the twentieth of December 2011) as possible from which to understand the message Henry Levy, through exposure to loyal to President al-Assad in the media and to link their names down anti-government demonstrations.
What they want to access it from the way media campaigns (Levi group - Bin Jassim) is to convince the government that the street will not rest unless sacrificed his men loyal and these games have not worked before with the Syrian authorities and it is doubtful that succeed in the future.
Third item:
Pressure and ensuring it would not be exposed Syria to observers and are immediately demand the implementation of the Protocol Arab judge to withdraw the army from the cities, and therefore left (cities) under the control of armed Seetmddon in all districts of Homs, and Daraa, and Idlib, and even Damascus, from the countryside and to Aleppo from the countryside countries.
At the same time requires a plan to meet the - bin Jassim (pending source) that shall Hamad bin Jassim pricing pressure Arab politician to embarrass the Russian press last on Syria to accept the status quo, which will share the street demonstrations hostile and the other loyal to the regime in the first stage. While the stated in the fourth item on the task of eliminating the state's institutions and the ability of the Syrian loyalists to demonstrate ..... how?
The fourth item:
Immediately after the withdrawal of the army from the cities and villages, burning, would seek the insurgent forces moving in the darkness and disappear during the day to spread in strategic areas, including the revival of Aleppo and Damascus.
They (the insurgents) Sistaanon Shaikhs and Wahhabi or sectarian "agents of Qatar and Saudi Arabia" to control the streets and alleyways wooing people to join the revolution, and that did not succeed in winning over the people voluntarily, will be the implementation of the scenario, the heart of the popular mood by force in the Daraa at the beginning of the crisis, and it was through threat of militants of the people who do not participate in the demonstrations of murder and burning of their homes, and the threat of traders burned their institutions (as happened with the businessmen in Aleppo and Idlib and Daraa and Zabadani) and by causing or killing children and personalities raises killing infuriated the masses turning funerals in Damascus to the fuel of the revolution, violence and weapons, as happened in the beginning of the crisis of Homs.
(Estimated strength of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis armed and trained that fought in Iraq or trained in the camps, the Americans and their allies with ten thousands of armed, backed by tens of thousands of wanted security authorities with criminal offenses since before the crisis, and they have become protectors of neighborhoods revolutionary in Homs and Idlib in Damascus after they Zaaranh and still.)
Item V:
The militants villages of rural Idlib near Aleppo secure large numbers of protesters to occupy the spaces Aleppo Home, while the militants Damascus securing large numbers of demonstrators (reparation or volunteer) to occupy the squares of Damascus from the conduct of demonstrations on foot or by bus and car, from Harasta, and always, and Zabadani and Madaya, and Erbeen, and syriandata.com on, and Kvriqtna, etc. and the foot down to the Umayyad to the Abbasid vindicated.
Do you plan to succeed Levy - Jassim bin?
Protocol, signed by Syria on Monday, the nineteenth of December-December 2011 gives the right to address the gunmen, but through it, and agreed to allow the opposition to demonstrate in a peaceful manner anywhere they want, and therefore, would be on the Syrians to find a way to deal with schemes for Levy - Bin Jassim way balance between the obligation of the Syrian government signed, and not to leave the agreement to become an American Trojan horse leads to achieve what has not achieved the fiercest onslaught of media in ten months have passed against Syria.
Certain that the Americans and the Zionists plots the Europeans and the Arabs of Syria through the Arab initiative.
Evidenced by the selection of national observers from among the forty-five organizations funded all projects, recruitment, U.S. (now LG or), but is also certain that supporters of the authority, among the Syrian people, plots of the observers and those who rely on their paper, and those whom he calls the world BShabbihah or mercenaries, they are really the president's supporters, who are really committed to defending the system with its new post-movement, and they do not want to reform the civil war, not the rule of religious currents.
They will play are the most prominent role in breaking the dreams of Levy - Bin Jassim which, if achieved, and the triumph of the "revolution" and the regime fell, you will not win one, because the alternative system will not only be the ruin and civil war, why?
Because such opposition ruled with iron and fire, killing violators in Hama, and so the opposition ruled neighborhoods in Homs switched to the yard talked of sectarian and sentenced Jabal al-Zawiyah and Jisr al-Shughour did not leave a crime only and perpetrated against its supporters first, and sometimes won by opponents of the system before the Nile from his supporters, opposition to such a The won will not see in Syria a scene only expanded what's happening in Homs killing and sectarian slaughter.

Syria assigns new envoy to Washington

BEIRUT: Syria has assigned Zouheir Jabbour as its new Charge d'Affaires ad interim in Washington, the U.S. state department said Wednesday.
"The Syrian government ended the tour of duty of Imad Moustafa effective Dec. 13. Mr. Zouheir Jabbour has been notified to the U.S. government as Charge d'Affaires ad interim," a statement released by the State Department said in response to a question at a press briefing Tuesday.
Diplomatic ties between Damascus and Syria have been severed as the U.S. intensifies pressure on President Bashar Assad to step down.
In early December, the U.S. announced that Robert Ford, the American ambassador to Damascus, would return to Syria after Washington recalled him two months ago following alleged threats against his life and escalating violence in the country.
The State Department said Ford's presence in Syria was important for advancing U.S. policy goals in the troubled country by meeting with opposition figures and serving as a witness to the ongoing violence.
Syria had also recalled, but then later reinstated, its ambassador to Washington in a tit-for-tat move in late October.
Italy plane in Beirut for anti-Syria bid

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/216946.html
A Lebanese official says an Italian fighter jet carrying aid supplies for anti-Syrian insurgency elements has landed in the country's capital, Beirut.
The Secretary of the Leadership Committee of the Independent Nasserite Movement in Lebanon Mustafa Hamdan said on Tuesday that the military aircraft has arrived in Beirut airport in an effort to provide aid for what has been described as Syrian refugees, and the Italian Foreign Ministry had confirmed the news, according to IRNA.
He added that neither Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Miqati, nor the health and foreign ministers were aware of the issue, adding that only a number of unknown individuals reported to be at the airport to receive the aircraft.
Stating that certain elements are making efforts to create instability in Lebanon, Hamdan criticized media silence in the country over the issue and said such efforts pose a serious threat to Lebanon's security and stability.
He added that these sorts of measures are carried out in line with insistence by US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman for the establishment of military bases in Lebanon to challenge Syria.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Hamdan blamed the Arab League for its stance toward Syria and emphasized that rather than perusing US plots against Syria, the Arab League should join efforts to resolve the Palestine issue.
On December 7, Feltman arrived in Beirut to hold talks with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Miqati and other officials "on a range of issues, including the situation in Syria.
During a press conference in Beirut, he called on the Lebanese government to act within what he claimed as an "Arab and international consensus" regarding the situation in Syria.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in favor of President Bashar al-Assad. Hundreds of people, including security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.
While the West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of the killings, Damascus blames ''outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups'' for the unrest that erupted in mid-March, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
In interviews with Israeli news outlets over the past few months, the Syrian opposition members have clearly expressed their vision for the future of Syria and their interest in establishing ties with the Tel Aviv regime.
However, Syrian people have repeatedly expressed solidarity with the government. Figures show that during the past weeks, about 12 million people have demonstrated in support of al-Assad.

"The sun would never set on the last day of an important Arab observers in Syria, but system and reeling, and the army defector, and the millions fill the main squares in all Syrian cities proclaiming the triumph of the revolution and the fall of President Bashar al-Assad."
Previously attributed to speak French sources (recently visited the Syrian capital) to Bernard Henri Levy, a man of the tasks of the Foundation of the World Zionist.
What makes Bernard Levy is confident that the mission of Arab observers in Syria will lead to topple the regime there?
At the end of the seventies description of a senior French journalists Henri Levy "beautiful face of the devil who hides his efforts to implement major crimes"
The Swiss intellectual Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of Hassan al-Banna was born in Geneva for Levy says: "It is a Zionist thinker hostile to Muslims and a culture of sectarianism in Europe."
Man model institution
Confirm identical information about - Levy - spelled Karhoh in France, and in the Jewish community itself, that the man is a distinct institution with its staff, and public relations firms affiliated, and also has customers in the Arab and Muslim worlds who range between businessmen, and between politicians, and political parties, opposition, figures, or military and Soliyn sell their country and its economy against the authority. (As well as review the statements and Burhan Ghaliyoun, Ghannouchi in Tunisia and Abdul Jalil in Libya and Abdul Ghafoor light Wahhabi leader in Egypt about the Israeli-Arab relations and the subject position and mild Alastzlami in front of the Zionist lobby supporting them).
Usually making fun lobby possibilities all Zionist institutions in the service of one man is in the original port faithful and sincere in the interest of Israel and its allies (Daniel Pipes is a fellow American Bernard Levy is like one of the so-called "people - The Foundation" who work on the international stage in the service of the Zionist lobby)
For this find that Henry Bernard Levy's friends - customers between the rebels and political leaders the Arabs and Africans and Asians and possibly Chechens and the Caucasus, and perhaps also his clients between the writers and academics working for the Zionist lobby in America, Europe and Atkamilon with him (Henry) of the sense that it is representative of the Zionist enterprise, and her face is culturally acceptable (Culture Here a tool to gain popularity and respect for the person who is a main factor in international politics run by the racist Zionist Kalloba)
This is what he says, for example, even a padded book "Bernard Henry Levy, a biography" by Philippe Cohen (published by Dar Fallard).
Information transmitted on French source (by the way, friends of Henri Levy) talks about a comprehensive plan developed by the U.S. administration and handed over is carried out to Henry Levy - or Guevara Arabs - agreed last with Qatari Foreign Minister, on what might be called the plan "Levy - Bin Jassim" to bring down Syria.
The plan include items such as:
(And always at the disposal of the source of the friends of Bernard Levy is known Boala reviews of inflation and the famous "ego" has made him a star since the sixties and the cover of star studios and programs Shaw French)
Plan Levy - Hamad bin Jassim
The first item:
Exploited to the approval of Syria on the Arab initiative and signed a cooperation protocol with the observers
Fun to meet his friendships in the Arab world to ensure that pumping millions of phone messages and e-mail and through the channels of the Zionist lobby in the Arab World (Do they mean channels of Lebanese and Saudi Arabian certain?) Calls on the Syrian people (and a certain range of it in particular) to exploit the opportunity and take to the streets in every city and occupation the squares.
While making fun Hamad bin Jassem at the same time a wealth of Qatar, and financial relations with the Syrian opposition, two branches of the internal and external, to activate the work of activists, organizers of the demonstrations, associated mostly with money financially in the country directly or through intermediaries.
Also, networks of friends Henri Levy in the Zionist lobby in the world, media, cultural and security, will be circulated psychological propaganda calling for the Syrians to exploit the opportunity of the overseas media in Syria with the observers, taking advantage leads to the occupation of public spaces in major cities, especially in Damascus and Aleppo, and in other cities population that refused to participate in the protests so far.
(Includes a list of all the Zionist lobby's friends friends America's Arab and international media, journalists, intellectuals, artists, and satellite TV networks and electronic news)
The second item:
The Bernard Levy coordinate the escalation of U.S. pressure, European, and Arab political, media, diplomatic and down to persuade the Russian diplomacy that Syria should offer a sacrifice of its officials and close associates of government in which to satisfy the opposition, which would not sit at the negotiating table only after the implementation of a number of conditions, and on her head trial Some of the officers responsible for the suppression of the demonstrators (and insurgents) in addition to demand that the Syrian authorities to provide some of what might be called the practices prove its good intentions, which will ask the Syrian government to give up, even partially, for the characters and put on the list of sanctions, Arab, American and European pending the results of investigations undertaken by the Arab observers on criminal liability for those who ordered the exposure of the demonstrators (and implicitly of the insurgency).
With the focus of a planned advance on the pricing of exposure media for all relatives of Syrian President, from the stick the subject of military actions, the fourth year, attributed the Western media the responsibility of leadership to the brother of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and the end of the link "Shabbihah" and crimes committed by them relatives of the President The President and his friends and their leaders trusted.
From here can understand the message the Western press, which restored to crack down on some of the characters Syrian economic memorandum of what he described as the need to get rid of them to satisfy the street (the number of business leaders who are committed to support the Syrian authorities and, in particular) has published the Daily Star, Lebanon related to the Americans (the number of the twentieth of December 2011) as possible from which to understand the message Henry Levy, through exposure to loyal to President al-Assad in the media and to link their names down anti-government demonstrations.
What they want to access it from the way media campaigns (Levi group - Bin Jassim) is to convince the government that the street will not rest unless sacrificed his men loyal and these games have not worked before with the Syrian authorities and it is doubtful that succeed in the future.
Third item:
Pressure and ensuring it would not be exposed Syria to observers and are immediately demand the implementation of the Protocol Arab judge to withdraw the army from the cities, and therefore left (cities) under the control of armed Seetmddon in all districts of Homs, and Daraa, and Idlib, and even Damascus, from the countryside and to Aleppo from the countryside countries.
At the same time requires a plan to meet the - bin Jassim (pending source) that shall Hamad bin Jassim pricing pressure Arab politician to embarrass the Russian press last on Syria to accept the status quo, which will share the street demonstrations hostile and the other loyal to the regime in the first stage. While the stated in the fourth item on the task of eliminating the state's institutions and the ability of the Syrian loyalists to demonstrate ..... how?
The fourth item:
Immediately after the withdrawal of the army from the cities and villages, burning, would seek the insurgent forces moving in the darkness and disappear during the day to spread in strategic areas, including the revival of Aleppo and Damascus.
They (the insurgents) Sistaanon Shaikhs and Wahhabi or sectarian "agents of Qatar and Saudi Arabia" to control the streets and alleyways wooing people to join the revolution, and that did not succeed in winning over the people voluntarily, will be the implementation of the scenario, the heart of the popular mood by force in the Daraa at the beginning of the crisis, and it was through threat of militants of the people who do not participate in the demonstrations of murder and burning of their homes, and the threat of traders burned their institutions (as happened with the businessmen in Aleppo and Idlib and Daraa and Zabadani) and by causing or killing children and personalities raises killing infuriated the masses turning funerals in Damascus to the fuel of the revolution, violence and weapons, as happened in the beginning of the crisis of Homs.
(Estimated strength of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis armed and trained that fought in Iraq or trained in the camps, the Americans and their allies with ten thousands of armed, backed by tens of thousands of wanted security authorities with criminal offenses since before the crisis, and they have become protectors of neighborhoods revolutionary in Homs and Idlib in Damascus after they Zaaranh and still.)
Item V:
The militants villages of rural Idlib near Aleppo secure large numbers of protesters to occupy the spaces Aleppo Home, while the militants Damascus securing large numbers of demonstrators (reparation or volunteer) to occupy the squares of Damascus from the conduct of demonstrations on foot or by bus and car, from Harasta, and always, and Zabadani and Madaya, and Erbeen, and syriandata.com on, and Kvriqtna, etc. and the foot down to the Umayyad to the Abbasid vindicated.
Do you plan to succeed Levy - Jassim bin?
Protocol, signed by Syria on Monday, the nineteenth of December-December 2011 gives the right to address the gunmen, but through it, and agreed to allow the opposition to demonstrate in a peaceful manner anywhere they want, and therefore, would be on the Syrians to find a way to deal with schemes for Levy - Bin Jassim way balance between the obligation of the Syrian government signed, and not to leave the agreement to become an American Trojan horse leads to achieve what has not achieved the fiercest onslaught of media in ten months have passed against Syria.
Certain that the Americans and the Zionists plots the Europeans and the Arabs of Syria through the Arab initiative.
Evidenced by the selection of national observers from among the forty-five organizations funded all projects, recruitment, U.S. (now LG or), but is also certain that supporters of the authority, among the Syrian people, plots of the observers and those who rely on their paper, and those whom he calls the world BShabbihah or mercenaries, they are really the president's supporters, who are really committed to defending the system with its new post-movement, and they do not want to reform the civil war, not the rule of religious currents.
They will play are the most prominent role in breaking the dreams of Levy - Bin Jassim which, if achieved, and the triumph of the "revolution" and the regime fell, you will not win one, because the alternative system will not only be the ruin and civil war, why?
Because such opposition ruled with iron and fire, killing violators in Hama, and so the opposition ruled neighborhoods in Homs switched to the yard talked of sectarian and sentenced Jabal al-Zawiyah and Jisr al-Shughour did not leave a crime only and perpetrated against its supporters first, and sometimes won by opponents of the system before the Nile from his supporters, opposition to such a The won will not see in Syria a scene only expanded what's happening in Homs killing and sectarian slaughter.

Syria assigns new envoy to Washington

BEIRUT: Syria has assigned Zouheir Jabbour as its new Charge d'Affaires ad interim in Washington, the U.S. state department said Wednesday.
"The Syrian government ended the tour of duty of Imad Moustafa effective Dec. 13. Mr. Zouheir Jabbour has been notified to the U.S. government as Charge d'Affaires ad interim," a statement released by the State Department said in response to a question at a press briefing Tuesday.
Diplomatic ties between Damascus and Syria have been severed as the U.S. intensifies pressure on President Bashar Assad to step down.
In early December, the U.S. announced that Robert Ford, the American ambassador to Damascus, would return to Syria after Washington recalled him two months ago following alleged threats against his life and escalating violence in the country.
The State Department said Ford's presence in Syria was important for advancing U.S. policy goals in the troubled country by meeting with opposition figures and serving as a witness to the ongoing violence.
Syria had also recalled, but then later reinstated, its ambassador to Washington in a tit-for-tat move in late October.
Italy plane in Beirut for anti-Syria bid

A Lebanese official says an Italian fighter jet carrying aid supplies for anti-Syrian insurgency elements has landed in the country's capital, Beirut.
The Secretary of the Leadership Committee of the Independent Nasserite Movement in Lebanon Mustafa Hamdan said on Tuesday that the military aircraft has arrived in Beirut airport in an effort to provide aid for what has been described as Syrian refugees, and the Italian Foreign Ministry had confirmed the news, according to IRNA.
He added that neither Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Miqati, nor the health and foreign ministers were aware of the issue, adding that only a number of unknown individuals reported to be at the airport to receive the aircraft.
Stating that certain elements are making efforts to create instability in Lebanon, Hamdan criticized media silence in the country over the issue and said such efforts pose a serious threat to Lebanon's security and stability.
He added that these sorts of measures are carried out in line with insistence by US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman for the establishment of military bases in Lebanon to challenge Syria.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Hamdan blamed the Arab League for its stance toward Syria and emphasized that rather than perusing US plots against Syria, the Arab League should join efforts to resolve the Palestine issue.
On December 7, Feltman arrived in Beirut to hold talks with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Miqati and other officials "on a range of issues, including the situation in Syria.
During a press conference in Beirut, he called on the Lebanese government to act within what he claimed as an "Arab and international consensus" regarding the situation in Syria.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in favor of President Bashar al-Assad. Hundreds of people, including security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.
While the West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of the killings, Damascus blames ''outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups'' for the unrest that erupted in mid-March, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
In interviews with Israeli news outlets over the past few months, the Syrian opposition members have clearly expressed their vision for the future of Syria and their interest in establishing ties with the Tel Aviv regime.
However, Syrian people have repeatedly expressed solidarity with the government. Figures show that during the past weeks, about 12 million people have demonstrated in support of al-Assad.
