Syrian rebels reject Annan plan!
SYRIAN ‘rebels’ yesterday announced that they are no longer committed to the Annan plan.
Major Sami al-Kurdi, for the rebel military council stated that they have decided to end their commitment to this plan, starting from last Friday.
Kurdi announced that they wanted the international community to take ‘bold’ decisions and impose a no-fly zone and a buffer zone to help bring Assad down as they no longer backed the Kofi Annan plan.
China warned yesterday against any Western-backed military intervention in Syria.
It stated that this would unleash even bloodier chaos, and abandoning Kofi Annan’s peace plan would push Syria into the ‘abyss’ of a full-scale war.
The People’s Daily, the main newspaper of China’s ruling Communist Party, warned: ‘External forces are not qualified to meddle.
‘It is easy to imagine the turmoil that would occur should Syria erupt into all-out civil war, triggering Western military intervention.’
•l Gunmen from the al-Awfea Brigade, a Libyan militia, surrounded Tripoli's international airport yesterday to secure the release of one of their leaders who had been kidnapped and held there.
‘The situation in the airport is very tense and tanks are surrounding the buildings.’ said an official.
This is the latest in a series of incidents that highlight the inability of the central government to assert its authority after the ousting of Gadaffi last August.
