Damascus, Syria – Adamu Garba, a former Nigerian presidential aspirant, on Sunday, December 8, said the crisis in the Middle East would most likely escalate.
Garba spoke against the backdrop of the situation in Syria where rebel fighters said they captured the Syrian capital of Damascus. The rebels claimed that President Bashar al-Assad had fled the capital, losing his decades-long grip on power, after a lightning-fast offensive by opposition forces in recent days.
Adamu Garba says the present Syrian conflict is less likely to look like Libya.
