On Wednesday, Syria experienced its worst day of violence yet in the increasingly vicious civil war. More than 300 people were killed in a series of bombings and attacks all over the country, with two massive bomb blasts near army headquarters in Damascus.
The violence is spiralling out of control, and Syria faces increasing division and misery as the opposition and government are caught in a brutal battle. The situation has led a few Arab states like Saudi Arabia and Qatar to call for military intervention. Qatari Emir Shaikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani told the UN General Assembly that the Security Council’s failure to end the conflict meant it would be better for Arab countries to “interfere” in Syria.
