Ban Ki-moon warns of 'imminent and real' threat of civil war in Syria | UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said that Syria faces the risk of civil war, which he believes
is 'imminent and real'. He said this after a new massacre in Syria 's central
Hama province claimed 78 lives. Ban Ki-Moon said that Syria could 'quickly go
from tipping point to breaking point' and made a fresh appeal for calm on all
sides following the atrocity. "The Syrian people are bleeding," Sky News quoted
Moon, as saying after addressing the U.N. Security Council. "They are angry. They
want peace and dignity. Above all they want action," he added. He said there is
little evidence that Syria is complying with the peace plan formed by mediator
Kofi Annan to end violence in the country. UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan said,
during the same news conference, that he was holding talks on bringing key world
and regional powers into a contact group on the Syrian crisis. British Foreign
Secretary William Hague has warned that Syria is 'clearly on the edge' of a descent
into further violence and called for more action by Russia and China to press
Assad's regime to co-operate with peace efforts.
