The UN-Arab League joint special envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan has announced he is leaving his post.

In a news conference, he said the Syrian people "desperately need action" but criticised the UN Security Council for "finger pointing and name calling".
| That means you, Russia and China... |

and the violence has continued to escalate.
| As in, the people are getting good at fighting back... |
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said it was "with deep regret" that he announced Mr Annan would not renew his mandate when it expires at the end of August. |
