Speaker, Deputy President, I think all of us and the whole world are concerned about the situation in Syria. My colleague, hon Meshoe, asked you what South Africa could do. I am afraid your answer came down to the point that there is actually nothing we can do. We support the resolutions of the UN and we sit back and hope for the best.
I think the situation in the whole of North Africa and Syria shows us that there is something wrong and that it is very big. We have had Saddam Hussein hanged; we have had Hosni Mubarak sentenced to life imprisonment and Libya's fate is the same. What needs to happen to the president of Syria? Is he just going to go on and on and on? Every day we read in the newspaper that another 30, 50 or 100 people have died. Isn't there something more constructive that South Africa can do? Thank you.
