Touring a Surian refugee camp in Jordan, UN chief Antonio Guterres calls on Arab leaders to set aside their differences to confront Syria’s six-year conflict
“Arab unity is a very important element in order to allow this region to be stabilized and for… the Syrian refugees to find again a future that corresponds to their aspirations,” Guterres says.

Speaking on the eve of an Arab League summit hosted by Jordan, the UN chief adds: “When Arab countries are divided, it has allowed others to intervene and to manipulate situations, creating instability, breeding conflict and facilitating the lives of terrorist organisations.”
Guterres met with women and girls living in Zaatari, home to some 80,000 Syrian refugees.
