@HaraldDoornbos hij sprak eloquent
Lucas Hartong wo 6 mrt 2013, 13:02
President sprak zacht en met (levens)wijsheid. Gaat denk ik samen. Kracht van een boodschap zit namelijk niet in het volume. #Israel
Lucas Hartong wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:59
Net naar bewogen toespraak van Shimon Peres geweest. Israelische president sprak over eenvoudige mensen die dapper verzet boden tijdens WOII

Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:19
Idriss: we dont want problems with our Kurdish fellow Syrian citizens. Would like to see their rights to set up pol parties after liberation
Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:17

Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:14

Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:13
Idriss: how did Lavrov become Assad's spokesperson? We hope the President is pressured to step down, and we can have regime change
Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:12
Idriss: military solution can take a long time and is expensive. I hope for your support to pressure Russia so it stops helping the regime
Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:10
Idriss: the regime cant be reformed, otherwise we would have known it. All we have seen it what all dictatorships do

Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:03
Idriss: you'd be surprised given the situaion that we have time to train soldiers who want to join us, and make them aware of human rights
Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:02
Idriss: All violations of human rights by units of the FSA are loose canons, they dont have officers, but they are a small minority
Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:01

Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 12:00

Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 11:52
Idriss: this is a criminal regime, and many in the army are of same ethnical groups #Syria
Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 11:50
Idriss: the army will fall apart, its difficult to turn against the regime given the power of the intelligence services
Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 11:49

Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 11:47
Idriss: we are making good progress, only a few cities are not in our hands, and are surrounded by regime forces. Some may fall next days
Marietje Schaake wo 6 mrt 2013, 11:47
