Syria: Time for a Frank Dialogue  · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Syrian blogger Maysaloon calls for a frank dialogue on Syria. He writes:
What needs to happen now, and not when Assad falls, is frank dialogue with all – whether they are Islamists, Free Syrian Army, Jabhat al Nusra, the Kurds, whoever it may be, about core principles. For the sake of the country and their children they have to agree that political disputes, however paralysing, must never again transform into armed conflict. Basic respect for human rights and dignity are not difficult to agree upon and enforce.
