From North Africa to Syria

The recent incidents in the Sahel have pushed the Syrian crisis into the background. For many, it has even disappeared from the political radar. This is a serious mistake. Notwithstanding the need for action in the Sahel, a position I have advocated for some time, we should keep in mind that the situation in Syria continues to have a dramatic impact on the lives of millions of people and cannot be ignore. Those who have a sense of proportion in the realm of international relations know that the solution of the Syrian tragedy should be a priority. The key actors within the international community cannot hide behind the Sahelian sandstorm.
