Delivering aid to Syria’s armed opposition groups will most likely escalate violence. ++ This is because of the political complexities within the country. ++ Although large portions of the country support toppling the regime of Bashar al-Assad, there are many who are more likely to fear instability and violence in doing so. ++ Pursuing negotiations for a political transition that would include the Assad government is the best approach to reducing civilian casualties. ++ The first step can be the six-point plan proposed by Kofi Annan.
