UN official: The war in Syria broke out by a decision from Obama (video)

Global economist Jeffrey Sax revealed that the war in Syria broke out by a decision of former US President Barack Obama, and said Washington is the main driver of wars in the Middle East. "The war in Syria did not start because of the regime's repression, but rather by direct order from former US President Barack Obama to topple President Bashar al -Assad in the spring of 2011," said Sachs, a director of the United Nations Sustainable Development Network and Professor of Economics at the University of Colombia, during his participation in the "Antalya Diplomatic Forum".
