oxford university middle east academics are wanting says violence must stop before any further steps to stabilize syria can be taken but we really need to move away from looking at the rebels who are largely foreign backed. as the only opposition in town there is a dynamic and diverse domestic opposition and i think it's incumbent upon the media and different players to pull out these voices first the government of syria house to ensure the safety of civilians and protect infrastructure before they move on to the next stop i mean you can't rush to the second step without the first so i think there has to be a deescalation of violence inside syria before you can move on what's the point of having peace talks when there are bombs going off in various cities and civilians and soldiers getting killed we have to consider first who supporting the violence on the ground and it's still a number of western countries and then a number of arab states particularly in the gulf countries we cannot move forward in this process until that part has been taken care of and it's it's unfortunate that ir
