Ja'afari Meets

UNITED
NATIONS,
August 10 --
Amid reports
that long time
UN official
Lakhdar
Brahimi is to
be named to
replace Kofi
Annan as envoy
to Syria,
Inner
City Press at
11 am Friday
witnessed the
entry of
Syrian
Permanent
Representative
to the UN
Bashar
Ja'afari to
meet with UN
political
chief Jeffrey
Feltman.
A well placed
source
exclusively
told Inner
City Press:
Brahimi will
be discussed.
And
so it seems
time to speed
through some
of Brahimi's
positions. The
US, Hillary
Clinton in
particular,
opposed
General
Douglas Lute
favoring
Brahimi over
Holbrooke on
Afghanistan in
2010.
Brahimi
also
said, in a
2008
interview,
that Europe is
a political
midget.
Brahimi
to
his credit in
March 2009
wrote, of Sri
Lanka, "being
a
spectator when
150,000
thousand
people are
trapped in a
death zone
is
not an
option."
That is,
sadly, what
the UN did,
and now even
has as a
Peacekeeping
adviser to Ban
Ki-moon and
Herve Ladsous
one of
the generals
responsible
for the
killing, even
according to
Ban's own
experts'
report:
Shavendra
Silva.
Brahimi is on
the Advisory
Council of
the Sri Lanka
Campaign,
which of
attacks on
Inner City
Press wrote this,
about those
who "played
straight into
the hands of
the Government
of Sri Lanka's
attempts to
silence its
critics."
So
which Brahimi
would it be?
