Abu Dhabi: The
continuation of the current violence in Syria is alarming and
raises a great level of concern that it may become a long and
bloody conflict, said a UAE newspaper Friday.
"There seems to be no end in sight to the conflict. It is not an
all-out war as yet but at the same time, peace and stability seem
to be far away," said the 'Gulf News' in its editorial.
If the situation in Syria is not addressed with urgency, it may
well end up being a very long and bloody conflict, it added.
"Over the past few days, dozens of people have been killed as
government forces intensified their shelling of opposition areas.
The most aggressive attacks were against the city of Homs, where
artillery barrages killed at least 100 people Tuesday alone," the
editorial said.
