Nawaf al-Fares explains why he resigned as both Syria's ambassador to Iraq and as a member of the ruling Baath Party.
"....Dear military men… your mission is to defend the nation against any external threat… have your people become your enemy? Is that what you have learned at your military academies? Is it your slogan: Homeland, Honour and Loyalty?Where is honour if you are killing your people?
Where is the homeland and loyalty? The homeland is all the people and not a single individual [in reference to Bashar al-Assad] and loyalty is to the people and not to a dictator killing his people.
Dear brothers, people still cling to hope and there is still time… Turn your guns towards the criminals from this regime…be loyal to the people as you have pledged when you joined the army and took the military oath.
I call all Syrian people to unite and don't let the wicked regime to seed sedition among you. By being united, Syria will be defended and the victory will be achieved, Allah willing.""
