"We need the president (Assad) to act now, and for others todo their bit," Annan said at a press conference after hismeeting with Mr. Assad in Damascus. "I called him to take boldsteps now - not tomorrow, now - to create the conditions necessaryfor the implementation of the plan" to end the crisis, hestressed. "We are at a turning point," the ex-U.N. chiefadded, arguing that "the international community wouldimmediately review the situation." "The government and its armed forces 'Shabiha' must stop allmilitary operations against civilians," said the U.N. and theArab League envoy. "The armed opposition must stop the violence," Kofi Annantold opposition leaders after meeting. In fact, The Syrian opposition inside Syria, is an oral oppositionbut the Syrain Free Army is the only opposition fighting againstAssad regime, therefore, Anan and the internal opposition shouldnot have met as this opposition has nothing on ground. This is myown opinion. Annan, who arrived in Jordan from Syria on a two-day trip, is dueto meet King Abdullah II on Thursday, government officials said. Meanwhile, the initial results of a U.N. investigation found thatthe majority of Houla victims were executed Friday, said aspokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, RupertColville , on Tuesday. It is believed that fewer than 20 of the 108deaths can be attributed to artillery and tanks. Most of thevictims were executed in two separate incidents." The residents of the city said that pro-regime militia known as"Shabiha" is behind these killings. Citing security reasons, Rupert Colville refused to reveal who arethe U.N. investigators handling the case. He also stressed that theHigh Commissioner hoped that "there will be a detailedreport" about the massacre of Hula. According to the preliminary investigation, 32 of the 49 childrenkilled were under 10 years, said Rupert Colville, who noted thatthe total number of victims could rise. "What is very clear is that this was an absolutely dreadfulevent which took place in Houla, and at least a substantial part(...) were executions of civilians, including women and children ," stated Colville in Geneva. "At this point, it seemsthat entire families were killed in their homes." However, on Wednesday, Turkey and Japan have ordered Syriandiplomats to leave their countries in 72 hours, and this is inresponse to the gruesome massacre in the village Houla on Friday.
