Us to return Ambassador Ford to Damascus
The United States said it would return Ambassador Robert Ford to Damascus within ``days to weeks,'' as divisions within the Syrian opposition spilled out into the open when egg-throwing dissidents tried to prevent other opposition figures from entering the Arab League headquarters in Cairo.
The US closed its Syrian embassy and Britain recalled its ambassador to Damascus on Monday in a dramatic new Western push to get President Bashar Assad to leave power as diplomatic efforts to resolve one of the deadliest conflicts of the Arab Spring collapsed.
