Arab ministerial meeting on Syria called off, death toll on the rise

A diplomatic source at the Arab League announced that the Arab ministerial meeting that was expected to be held on Saturday in Doha to discuss the Syrian situation was called off.                
The source told AFP that at the same time, the Arab League’s Secretary General Nabil el-Araby suggested that the meeting be held on the 16th and the 17th of December at the Arab League’s headquarters in Cairo.         

According LBCI’s exclusive information, the Arab states preferred to wait for the Syrian response on the speech of the Arab League Secretary General Nabil el-Araby who stressed that the League would cancel the economic sanctions against Syria if Damascus signs the Arab protocol. Also according to LBCI, many countries prefer if the Syrian file is not submitted to the West.   


On the ground, the London-based Human Observatory for Human Rights said that 9 civilians were killed by security forces gunfire.

Head of the Saudi intelligence Prince Moqren Bin Abdulaziz warned that if Syria does not cooperate with the Arab League, Syria may follow in the footsteps of Libya and face the same fate.       

Through al-Watan Saudi newspaper, Prince al-Moqren called on the Syrian government to cooperate with the Arab League to address the crisis.        

“We do not want Damascus to push us to internationalize the crisis, because then, things will take a different turn and have repercussions, including military intervention and the reproduction of the Libyan experience”, al-Moqren said.
