Hindu : 30 Apr - Editorial : Road to Damascus

Just like in old days; people still suffer in the name of equality, countries struggle in the name of power and peace vanishes in the name of justice. Syria falls in to the right example with this article where all the events leading Syria into a dangerous Civil War have be rigorously explained. Even a twice intervention from U.N first by Mr.Kofi Anin followed by Mr.Brahmini could not end the suffering of Syrians. In a country with about 35 million population, 3.5 million are now refugees outside the border while 7 million live in a dying hope to receive aids by being inside the country. Author clearly points out how the government had taken extremist steps since 2011 by using violence to suppress protests from the opposition. While this being only one side of the coin, whats more damaging is the surrounding countries and the west's enthusiasm to resolve this conflict in Syria of course for their own regional benefits.

Author explains how Mr. Brhamini had given a five step systematic procedure to end this crisis in which non interference of the outsiders and shunning of the ruling government's dream of winning this war by military were very crucial. Author also briefed few of the many atrocities committed by Syrian government to suppress the revolution and violence being the main culprit why Syria was not able to follow the path of Lybian liberation movement. However giving so much information, explaining how all the important players in this war are making their moves with self explained selfish motives, author hopes that at least the major opposition would be united looking at the unending pain of common man in their own country and would stand up to end this invisible civil war diplomatically through peace negotiations
