So Syrian President
Bashar Al-Assad decides to cede power today, but there are claims
that this is not so. As the rebel forces close in on him, and his
family, he decides that the actions of his supporters will lead to
him becoming yet another victim, similar to that of Libyan leader
Muammar Gaddafi. However, his move may be tactical, but will this
appease the rebels? The country has spiralled into an abyss, with the
Western-backed UN resolution, calling for sanctions against the
country. A move that has seen two countries, that being South Africa
and Pakistan abstaining from the vote, while China and Russia have
vetoed it. As the the peace brokered deal by Syrian envoy Kofi Annan,
fell apart, the question remains as to whether Assad will keep to the
agreement he made in allowing the country to be run democratically.
