Alternattiva Demokratika has backed the Arab League resolution calling for a joint Arab-UN peacekeeping mission to end the brutality of the Assad regime in Syria.
Party spokesman on International Affairs Arnold Cassola pointed out that the government did well to speak openly about the “urgent necessity for Bashar al-Assad to stop the killing of his own people”. He must give up his power to allow a democratic government to take over in the country, he said.
The Maltese Foreign Minister should now meet the Russian and Chinese Ambassadors in Malta and express the concern at the veto being exercised by their two governments, Prof. Cassola added.
