Syria votes on new constitution branded a farce
Syria’s referendum on a new constitution drew sharp opposition from the United States and its allies who called it a cyn ical ploy to justify Assad’s crackdown. In government strongholds voters faced loyalty, fear and distrust as Bashar al Assad, amid a media onslaught, urged support while Washington warned of a sham vote. Talks at a Tunisia conference sought a unified plan to oust Assad and deploy a civilian peacekeeping mission after his regime falls. The constitution envisions multiple parties and two seven year terms, a dramatic shift from Baath rule since 1963.
