The escalating violence in Syria shows the urgent need for the international community to take bolder steps, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a news conference in Istanbul today.
Ban voiced fears a day earlier that any repeat of the massacre of civilians a week ago in Houla could tip Syria
into a civil war, and drag neighbouring countries into a bloody sectarian conflict.
If the escalating violence shows anything, it is that we urgently need bolder steps,’ Ban told a news conference
at the end of an international meeting on aid for Somalia.
