There is conflict in Syria about their opposition leaders who came to meet the Arab League secretary-general. A bunch of demonstrators were there and threw eggs at them. People in Syria are angry at the government they want change and military action. The opposition members are not asking for this so people are angry. I'm not really up to date with what is happening in Syria but from this article people are upset. This goes along with the Arab Spring, and goes along with what is happening in Liyba and Egypt and other countries in the Middle East. Although a quote in the article talks about how Syria's situation is not the same as Libya's. '"The Syrian case is not similar to that of Libya," Salem said, explaining that the Arab League has not been seen as exerting the same amount of pressure as it did during the case of Libya.' Details about what is happening isn't really clear in this article, but I hope leaders of Syria start to listen to their people. I'm not sure how strict of a county Syria is compared to others in the Middle East but they seem to be in a similar situation of anger at the government.
