The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that time is running out for the Syrian government of President Bashar al Assad. She made the comments today at the Community of Democracies gathering in Lithuania's capital Vilnius. She said the Syrian government must make genuine reforms or face increased resistance. She said Assad's efforts to reach out to the opposition through one meeting earlier this week was not sufficient. Hillary Clinton added that allowing an opposition meeting in Damascus while deploying tanks in the north was not sending a coherent message. Pro-democracy activists have urged Syrians to rally nationwide today and call for the President's ouster.
