Can't rebuild Syria with Assad says Alfano

(ANSA) - Rome, April 12 - Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano told the Senate on Wednesday that Syria cannot have a positive future with President Bashar al-Assad in power. "Whether or not Assad stays in power does not just have an impact on the security and stability of Syria, but also on the prospects of rebuilding the country," he said. "One cannot contemplate a period of reconstruction while Assad kills his own people and while bombs keep falling".
