Prof Daoudy's interview - Syria

by Anonyme - 18/02/2012 - 11:45

I find it difficult to believe this woman a University Professor. Her ideas regarding sending multiple "observer" Human Rights missions to Syria -- to ensure "the fighting stops, the snippers stop shooting people, that provision of water and electricity is not cut off, etc" is completely unrealistic.
Most France24 interviews are with people who are informed and intelligent -- this interview was a waste of time.
