The following is the message Sara Flounders was invited to deliver to the May 28 meeting of the International Arab Forum to Break the Siege on Syria. Greetings and warm solidarity to the International Arab Forum to Break the Siege on Syria.  I’m Sara Flounders, Co-director of International Act

It is an honor to join you in celebrating the breaking of the unjust siege imposed on Syria. This siege was part of a global war, led by U.S. [neo]imperialism, and waged for more than 12 years. Many thousands of people were killed, and millions were displaced.

We celebrate with you the end of the illegal freeze of Syria’s membership in the League of Arab States and the invitation to President Bashar Assad to the Arab Summit in Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia.

    More than anything, it’s the definitive confirmation that the Lion of Damascus won the civil war. They wouldn’t have let him in if there were doubts about his position.

    It pretty much says that the arab world has made peace with the idea that Assad and the Ba’ath party are there to stay
