Dr. Haytham Manna, Deputy General Co-ordinator of the National Coordinating Body in Syria – NCB called on Mr. Kofi Annan – envoy for UN and the Arab world – to organise an international conference on the Syrian crisis, during an interview on the BBC. The conference would be for all parties to attend including Russia, China, Turkey and Iran in order to hold the world accountable for what is happening in Syria.
Haytham Manna made ??this statement after the Syrian President’s speech in Parliament during the opening of its first session, saying that this speech is a formal rejection by the Syrian authorities of the Annan plan through the words of its official spokesperson Bashar al-Assad.
According to Haytham Manna, the Syrian authorities did not stop the shooting nor the violence, and so the first point of the Annan plan has been ignored. He said “the violence did not come from the street but came from the security services and its Shabiha, and then included the special forces of the army. More than eighty percent of the violence comes from the hierarchy and does not come from the community”
