Today’s brutal stalemate is likely to continue for some time. Diplomatic and humanitarian missions led by former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and current UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos seem as ineffective as earlier efforts by the international community and the Arab League to mitigate the conflict or to facilitate a political solution.
今天残酷的僵局可能会继续下去。由前联合国秘书长科菲·安南和负责人道主义事务的联合国现任副秘书长瓦莱丽·阿莫斯领导的外交和人道主义使团似乎并不比由国际社会和阿盟领导的早期缓解冲突或促进政治解决的外交努力更加成功。
