TINJAUAN 1WC'sChannel 2012: (RT News. Published: 28 Ogos/M'sianTIME/tarikh @Ogos 29, 2012) Aktivis pembangkang Syria mengumumkan mereka telah merangka hala tuju politik untuk pembangunan negara dalam acara singkirkan Presiden Assad. Projek ini dimulakan oleh Amerika Syarikat dan Jerman pemikir, sedang dibentangkan di Berlin.
Dibangunkan oleh Institut Keamanan Amerika Syarikat dan Jerman Institut Hal Ehwal Antarabangsa dan Keselamatan seawal pada bulan Januari, kumpulan itu meletakkan bersama-sama dokumen yang bertajuk, "Hari Selepas Projek: Sokongan Peralihan Demokratik di Syria." Para penulis dilaporkan termasuk ahli-ahli Majlis Kebangsaan Syria, Ikhwan Muslimin dan kumpulan pembangkang yang lain, anggota Free Syrian Army dan aktivis belia - kira-kira 50 orang dalam jumlah.
Walaupun tiada pemimpin tunggal telah muncul untuk menyatukan pembangkang Syria sejak konflik dalaman bermula di negara ini Mac 2011, kumpulan itu mendakwa projek 120-halaman mereka meletakkan keluar pembangunan identiti satu baru kebangsaan berdasarkan perpaduan sivik, memetik peralihan pasca (post) -apartheid Afrika Selatan sebagai contoh.
Dokumen, yang pertama seumpamanya dari pembangkang Syria, juga menawarkan cadangan untuk menulis perlembagaan baru dan panggilan untuk tribunal khas yang bebas untuk mencuba bekas anggota rejim bagi jenayah yang dilakukan terhadap rakyat Syria, AFP melaporkan.
"Kami melihat dokumen ini sebagai sumbangan kita secara kolektif kepada perdebatan berterusan di kalangan Syria - kedua-duanya di dalam dan di luar negara - tentang cara yang paling berkesan untuk menguruskan cabaran yang pasti timbul berikutan akhir rejim Assad (yang merupakan hasil yang tidak boleh lagi berada dalam keraguan), "kata kumpulan itu.
Pembentangan datang hari selepas Presiden Perancis Francois Hollande dipanggil oleh pembangkang Syria untuk membentuk sebuah kerajaan sementara, dan berikrar bahawa Perancis akan mengiktiraf sebagai sah.
Kedua-dua langkah-langkah yang mungkin akan merangsang gelombang baru tekanan diplomatik terhadap kerajaan Presiden Syria Bashar Al-Assad. Tetapi pihak pembangkang Syria kekal berpecah-belah dan dibahagikan; ramai pakar politik mengatakan bahawa walaupun Assad pergi terdapat tiada jaminan bahawa pertumpahan darah akan berakhir, dan bahawa senario kes terburuk perang saudara yang berpanjangan adalah kemungkinan yang berbeza.
Syrian Opposition Announces Roadmap
for post-Assad Syria . . .
‘Syrian Opposition Announces Roadmap for post-Assad Syria’ (RT News. Published: 28 August/M'sianTIME/date @Aug 29, 2012) Syrian opposition activists announced they have drafted a political roadmap for the country’s development in the event of the ouster of President Assad. The project, initiated by US and German think tanks, is currently being presented in Berlin.
Developed by the US Institute of Peace and German Institute for International and Security Affairs as early as in January, the group put together a document titled, "The Day After Project: Supporting a Democratic Transition in Syria." The authors reportedly include members of the Syrian National Council, the Muslim Brotherhood and other opposition groups, members of the Free Syrian Army and youth activists - some 50 people in total.
While no single leader has emerged to unify Syria’s opposition since internal conflict began in the country in March 2011, the group claimed their 120-page project lays out the development of a new national identity based on civic unity, citing South Africa's post-apartheid transition as an example.
The document, the first of its kind from the Syrian opposition, also offers recommendations for writing a new constitution and calls for a special independent tribunal to try former members of the regime for crimes committed against the Syrian people, AFP reported.
"We view this document as our collective contribution to an ongoing debate among Syrians - both inside and outside the country - about the most effective ways to manage the challenges that are sure to arise following the end of the Assad regime (which is an outcome that can no longer be in doubt)," the group said.
The presentation came the day after French President Francois Hollande called on the Syrian opposition to form a provisional government, and pledged that France would recognize it as legitimate.
Both steps will likely spur a new wave of diplomatic pressure against the government of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad. But Syrian opposition forces remain fragmented and divided; many political experts say that even if Assad goes there is no guarantee that the bloodshed will end, and that the worst-case scenario of prolonged civil war is a distinct possibility.
