YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

DemocracyNow.org - Has a full blown civil war broken out in Syria? Herve Ladsous, the U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, became the first senior U.N. official to make the assertion on Tuesday amid worsening violence across the country. The U.S. meanwhile is accusing Russia of arming the Syrian military while Saudi Arabia and Qatar are sending anti-tank missiles to the Syrian opposition through Turkey with the Obama administration's backing. We host a debate between Syrian opposition activist Rafif Jouejati and longtime Middle East journalist Patrick Seale.
