‘Not right’ to stay out of Syria fight, Arab League chief says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleArab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit urges Arab governments on Monday to do more to resolve the conflict in Syria rather than leaving it to other powers.
He is speaking as Arab foreign ministers met to prepare for the Arab League’s annual summit, set for Wednesday in Jordan.
“In my view it’s not right that Arab governments stay out of the biggest crisis in the region’s modern history,” Abul Gheit says.
He urges them to “find an effective way of intervening to stop the shedding of blood in Syria and end the war.”
The Syrian government was not invited to the summit.
The bloc suspended Syria’s membership in late 2011 after anti-regime demonstrations were brutally repressed.
