卜拉希米:如无外交努力叙利亚明年或有10万人丧生大纲

** Brahimi: Without Diplomacy, Syria Conflict May Kill 100,000**

International peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi has warned 100,000 people could die in Syria in the next year unless world powers press the Syrian government and rebels to negotiate an end to their 21-month conflict.

Speaking Sunday in Cairo, Brahimi said the warring sides are not speaking to each other, despite his recent intensified diplomatic efforts to promote a peace plan approved by world and regional powers last June in Geneva. The U.N.-Arab League envoy said "help is needed from the outside" to start a Syrian national dialogue based on that plan.

The Brahimi says the situation in Syria is deteriorating and if the civil war continues, Syria will turn into a Somalia-style failed state ruled by warlords.

The Geneva plan calls for all sides in Syria to end hostilities, enter a national dialogue, and form a transitional government leading to new elections. It says nothing about the fate of President Bashar al-Assad, an omission that appears to have stalled its progress.

卜拉希米星期天在开罗发表讲话时说，尽管他最近加紧外交努力，推进世界和地区强国6月在日内瓦达成的一项和平方案，叙利亚冲突双方并未进行对话。联合国-阿盟特使卜拉希米说，需要外界的帮助才能展开基于这项和平方案的叙利亚全国对话。

卜拉希米说，叙利亚局势正在恶化，如果内战继续下去，叙利亚可能成为由军阀统治的索马里式国家。

日内瓦和平方案呼吁叙利亚各方结束敌对行动，展开全国对话，并组建一个过渡政府来安排新的选举。这项方案没有涉及阿萨德总统的命运，看来这一点阻碍了和平方案的实施。
