UN chief paints worsening picture of war in Syria
2015-01-25
[Ynet] Secretary-General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon
... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan...
painted a worsening picture of the war in Syria, citing widespread conflict, indiscriminate government bombing, opposition shelling, high civilian casualties and deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
Worse? It could get worse?
In his monthly report to the UN Security Council obtained Friday by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, the UN chief said the use of roadside and vehicle-borne improvised bombs increased during December and more than 21 suicide operations were reported in the provinces of Aleppo, Hama and Daraa.
The survivors on both all sides have improved skills, and improved willingness to use them. At some point, surely, the winner will be clear.

The situation will continue to worsen as the 1200 year war over the succession to Mohammed boils over into a regional war with brutality beyond anyone's imagination. If you think ISIS is bad just wait until the entire region is aflame.
