Regime assault looms on Syria’s 2nd city

Ban admits UN's failure in Syria

AIP, Aleppo
Fighting raged in Syria's second city Aleppo on Thursday afternoon, a watchdog said, as regime forces and rebels sent reinforcements to the embattled city.
Intermittent clashes were also reported in the southern belt of Damascus, with the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog saying at least seven people were killed there on Thursday.
Across Syria, at least 28 people were killed yesterday, most of them civilians, according to the group.
The violence came as a security source told AFP that troops were preparing to launch an offensive on rebel-held districts of Aleppo.
Rebels also said a regime assault appeared imminent.
Meanwhile, UN chief Ban Ki-moon yesterday said the UN was failing in its duty to protect Syria's civilians as he paid a landmark visit to Srebrenica, the scene of Europe’s worst massacre since World War II.
Ban, the first UN chief to visit Srebrenica since blue helmet peacekeepers failed to prevent the killing of around 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in 1995, said it was essential the international community learned the lessons of history.
"We have to do all to protect civilians and to stop bloodshed particularly in Syria now, when we have learned the message of Srebrenica," Ban said.
"The international community must be united not to see any further bloodshed in
Syria because I do not want to see any of my successors after 20 years visiting Syria apologising for what we could have done now to protect the civilians in Syria which we are not doing."
Ban was speaking after meeting survivors at the Potocari cemetery near Srebrenica, where more than 6,500 victims of the genocide are buried.
The attacks took place after Bosnian Serbs brushed aside lightly armed Dutch peacekeepers in a so-called UN "safe area" where thousands of Muslims from surrounding villages had gathered for protection.
The episode caused huge damage to the reputation of the UN's peacekeeping operations, which were at the time headed by Kofi Annan — Ban's predecessor and the man now tasked by the UN and Arab League to bring peace to Syria.
Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused Syria of giving Kurdish rebels a free hand in its north and warned that Ankara would not hesitate to strike.
He said the move was explicitly directed against Turkey and warned that "there will undoubtedly be a response on our part to this attitude", adding that rebels had put up posters of jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan in the area.
Nationwide, at least 143 people were killed on Wednesday, according to Observatory figures, including 75 civilians, 41 soldiers and 27 rebel fighters.
