RABAT,Morocco – Morocco expressed deep concern over Syria’s brutal crackdown on anti-regime protesters and called for an “inclusive” dialogue to end the crisis.
“The kingdom of Morocco, which has traditionally refrained from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, expresses today its strong worries and deep concern over the sad events rocking Syria,” the foreign ministry said in a statement late Wednesday.
Expressing concern over the “numerous victims, especially civilians,” the statement called for a “deep and inclusive dialogue” between the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and protesters.
Washington also called for greater international pressure on Assad ahead of a UN Security Council meeting on Syria, when a top UN official is to brief the council, one week after it condemned the government violence.
Brazil, India and South Africa have all stepped into the diplomatic fray along with Arab nations to seek an end to the bloody crackdown that has claimed more than 2,000 lives since mid-March.
