Arab nations could end the conflict in Syria, according to a UN special envoy

 


According to UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen, Arab countries may take the lead in finding a political solution to the war and humanitarian aid crises in Syria.

Despite all the obstacles, including the impact of the recent devastating earthquakes, Pederson said there were encouraging signs of a way forward on Thursday during a special briefing of the UN Security Council.

Pederson emphasised the roles that the leaders of various Arab nations, especially those from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, are now playing.

There have been a number of high-profile talks with Bashar Assad, the president of Syria, to rebuild diplomatic ties and even see the nation recover its Arab League membership.

"I continue to stress that the political solution is the only way to end the suffering of the Syrian people and (find a way) towards stability, security, and peace," Pederson added.

In order to achieve sustainable change, he asserted that a political process that is "Syrian-led" and "Syrian-owned" must be pursued.
