In a stick and carrot policy of the Syrian President Bachar al-Assad, one of the main requests of the protesters in the country was accepted. Officials in Sana announced that a multiparty system was accepted in Syria.
On August 4, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe called the move "almost a provocation" and called for an end to violence against civilians who only seek their rights. Juppe said that should the situation in Syria remain the same, his country may seek further U.N. Security Council action.
At the same time repression that left 30 persons dead during a bombardment on 03.08.2011 in the center of Hama is expected to continue. Communications in Hama are still cut by government forces.
