“我认为每个人都在尽自己所能来保护平民,尤其是被困在猛虎组织手中的泰米尔人。事实是这样的,政府坚决不惜一切代价要结束这场战争,甚至不惜牺牲平民,这一点是很明确的。我不准备听联合国或任何强国所说的话,也不会作出回答,事实是,这篇匆忙作出的报告并没提到这一点。没有一个大国准备阻止杀戮。”
France has become the first western power to formally recognise the new Syrian Opposition bloc that was formed on Sunday. The Franch President Francois Hollande said his country considered the coalition to be the legitimate representative of the Syrian people. Sebastian Usher reports.
在西方国家中,法国第一个正式承认周日成立的新的叙利亚反对派集团。法国总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德称法国认为该联盟是代表叙利亚人民的合法代表。Sebastian Usher报道。
Mr Hollande's announcement is a clear sign that West is now pinning its hopes on the Syrian opposition finally being able to offer a united and effective alternative to President Assad. Most significantly, Mr Hollande said the question of arming the rebels would be reviewed once the opposition established itself as a proper government in exile. The new opposition leaders say this is an urgent priority. The US and Britain have also talked up the legitimacy of the coalition, but stopped short of full recognition, both want to see it prove itself first.
