The Joint UN-Arab League Envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan on Saturday warned that Syria is on the brink of a sectarian civil war whose effects may go beyond borders. "There are signs of a looming civil war in Syria of a worrying sectarian nature, while the effects of the crisis started to leak to neighboring countries," Annan said in the meeting of the Arab ministerial committee on Syria, held in Doha earlier today. Annan stressed that developments of the situation in Syria aren't acceptable any more for the Syrian people, the region and the international society.
