In an interview with pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat, published Saturday, May 14, Alain Juppe launches a warning to President Bashar Al-Assad: "A regime that pulls gun against its population loses its legitimacy. We want a stable Syria but we think stability is not true in law enforcement. It is in reform. " For the head of French diplomacy, the Syrian regime "is in the wall" if it "does not change its political line, if he perseveres in his analysis that the movements (...) that it faces are movements seditious, more or less encouraged from outside ".
Alain Juppe also stressed that the text of the sanctions adopted by the EU against thirteen members of the Syrian regime "leaves open the possibility of extending the list" to other officials, including President Assad. The Syrian regime has promised on Friday to open a "national dialogue" that includes the opposition to try to end the violence.

Between five and six, according to sources, were killed Friday in Deraa, Homs and in the suburbs of the capital by gunfire from security forces deployed en masse, despite instructions not to open fire on protesters . Three people were also killed Saturday morning and several others wounded in Tal Kalakh, near Homs in central Syria, by automatic weapons fire from security forces, according to testimony gathered by the.
