Syria: reform and cabinet Change?
2005-11-03
Syrian officials are seeking to convince their people that "Syria is targeted and not the regime" according to the principle "constructive chaos" in order to counter the American and European discourse which focuses on the foreign pressures "did not target the Syrian people but some officials".
Presumably the inhabitants will remain when the regime is gone, unless we replace them all with Samoans...
In return, Syrian officials leak information that many internal developments will be happened till the mid of December as regards "reform option", setting detainees free, reshuffle cabinet and to mobilize the public opinion against Mehlis's conclusion.
"See? We're bein' good!"
There will be no final decision regarding how to interpret the phrase of Damascus readiness to fully cooperate with Mehlis in the forthcoming stage before Ash-Sharaa presents the outcome of discussions he held in New York and the Arab discussions of his deputy Waleed AL-Mualem. The report of German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis and the international draft project are politically and legally under thorough study by two committees: a higher political committee under the chairmanship of President Bashar Al–Assad with Ash-Sharaa and top security officials as members. And a technical committee that includes Al-Mualem, the minister deputy Ahmad Arnous and counselor Riyadh Daoudi. The study resulted in setting a "strategic drive" where Ash-Sharaa and Al-Mualem made political movements at Arab and world level and the issuance of a decree by President Bashar Al-Assad as regards forming "a special judicial committee" to investigate military and security officials ,cooperation with Mehlis and the Lebanese judicial system .
