The movement against the Assad regime is viewed skeptically

On 15/03/2014 marked the third anniversary of the commencement of the Syrian uprising against the Assad regime. In Berlin, there was a modest rally predominantly Syrian supporters of the revolution on this occasion. In the speeches repeatedly sounded the disappointment and incomprehension at the lack of support from the "international community".Especially in the days before had the UN, NGOs and the media, as helpless as the pile of demonstrators complained about the humanitarian disaster that puts everything that has gone before in the shade and even the professionals of the management of apocalyptic proportions speechless.
What activities has the party unfolds the Left to support the revolution in Syria? At the rally in any case was not a / e to see representatives / in. Perhaps no one had time. Or maybe reigns in his left hand the same perplexity as an elderly passer-by, who asked: "Yes, what can one do?"
