Rubio warns of “Civil War Epic Property”

The United States and the EU expose their sanctions against Syria. US Secretary of State Rubio still fears that the transitional government fails. With fatal consequences for the region.

According to the United States, the new Syrian government may face collapse. “In our assessment, the transitional government, openly said, may only be removed from a possible collapse and a comprehensive civil war epic, in view of the challenges before it,” said Foreign Minister Marco Rubio on Tuesday before the Senate Federal Foreign Affairs. This would basically mean the division of the country.

Rubio emphasized the fatal consequences for the region in the US Senate: “If you look at the history of the region, the region will be unstable when Syria is unstable,” he warned.

The committee also interviewed Rubio to announce Trump to announce the sanctions against Syria. The employees of his Ministry in Turkey are allowed to clarify with the local authorities in Syria what kind of help they need.

Syria is led by a transitional government of Islamists who plunged President Bashar al-Assad in December. The international sanctions against the Arabian country come from its reign, which has been shaped by a bitter civil war for the past few years.

The Europeans followed up on Tuesday: After a meeting with the ministers of the member countries in Brussels, the EU foreign commissioner Kaja Kallas announced that the EU would overturn the economic sanctions against Syria. Federal Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul said that there should be a new beginning of the EU with Syria.

For the purpose of normalization, discussions with other countries and the remaining militias in Syria are also underway. On Tuesday, Turkish secret service chief Ibrahim Kalin and the Syrian temporary president Ahmed al-Sharaa said about the disarmament of the Kurdish YPG militia and their integration into the Syrian security forces.

Last week, the foreign ministers of the two states met Rubio. The background is also economic interests, for example in the reconstruction of the devastated country. The Syrian finance minister Yisr Barnieh recently told the Reuters news agency that Syria was “a country of opportunities”.

Syria’s new leadership has been trying to approach the international community since the fall of long-term power holder Bashar al-Assad in early December. In the country there had recently been violent struggles between members of the Drusian minority and Sunni militias. Already in March there were denominational battles between government troops of the new rulers and Assad-loyal militias in the western coastal region of Syria.
