U.N.-Arab League Envoy Says Syria Crisis Getting Worse 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
The United Nations-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, has
wrapped up his first visit to the country since taking over from Kofi
Annan. Speaking on Tuesday in Jordan, Brahimi said the situation on the
ground in Syria is getting worse by the day.

Lakhdar Brahimi: "The situation is very bad and worsening, it's not
improving. Syrians on both sides say from time to time, we are going to
win very soon or in three months, two months or ... I don't think it's
true. I don't think any side is winning now or any time in the future.
The situation is getting worse and it is a huge a huge threat for the
region."
