Washington. .- The Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has ruled out U.S. participation in the Syrian conflict, as it did in Libya, he said in an interview with the program Face the Nation, CBS released today. Asked by the journalist Bob Schieffer about whether his country would intervene in the unrest in Syria, Clinton was unequivocal and replied, "No".
"If there is a coalition of the international community if a resolution of the Security Council (United Nations, as in Libya), had a request from the Arab League, if there was universal condemnation, but do not think that going to happen, "said Clinton, who taped the interview yesterday, Saturday.
The head of U.S. diplomacy specified that "each situation is different," referring to the wave of protests in the Arab world started in Tunisia and Egypt, which have spread to Libya, Yemen, Jordan, Morocco, Syria and Bahrain. "We deplore the violence in Syria and ask, as we did with all those governments that meet the needs of its people, not violently, but allowing peaceful protests beginning of economic reform processes and politics," he said.
In addition, Clinton expressed his confidence that the Syrian president, Bashar Assad, right reforms in his country and not repeat the situation in Libya. "What is happening there (in Syria) in recent weeks is very worrisome, but there is a difference between using your own aircraft on aircraft and indiscriminately strafing and bombing their own cities, and police actions that, frankly, have exceeded the use of force, "he said.
At least twelve people have died in the past two days in the Syrian city of Latakia, according to "reliable sources" unidentified official quoted by the Syrian news agency Sana, where demonstrations are held for several days. The official news agency said that the victims include policemen and civilians, as well as two "armed men", who together with others unknown, according to Sana, fired the population in different districts of Latakia.
Yesterday, Saturday, witnesses reported that at least four people died in this Mediterranean city of more than one hundred were injured during a demonstration for political reforms.
