The United Nations-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, has wrapped up his first visit to the country since taking over from Kofi Annan. Speaking on Tuesday in Jordan, Brahimi said the situation on the ground in Syria is getting worse by the day.

Lakhdar Brahimi: “The situation is very bad and worsening. It’s not improving. Syrians on both sides say from time to time, we are going to win very soon or in three months or two months or — I don’t think it’s true. I don’t think any side is winning now or anytime in the future. The situation is getting worse, and it is a huge threat for the region.”
