The U.N. chief, Ban Ki-moon, said on Monday the situation in Syria has reached an unacceptable stage, hoping that the Security Council will act together to resolve the crisis in this country.
“I hope the U.N. Security Council handles Syria in a coherent manner and with a sense of gravity,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said during a visit to Abu Dhabi, echoing a previous call for the council to speak with “one voice” on Syria.
“The casualties have reached such an unacceptable stage we cannot let the situation continue this way,” Ban said calling for Assad to “stop killing, and listen to his people.”
According to the UN, Syrian authorities’ violent response to Syrians uprising has killed more than 5,000 people.
