Suncor planning to withdraw staff from Syria

Calgary-based Suncor is pulling out of Syria to comply with international sanctions aimed at further isolating the regime of President Bashar Assad.

The European Union imposed sanctions this month during crackdown on an uprising, which the UN claims has killed more than 4,000 people.

Suncor CEO Rick George says the company’s thoughts are with the Syrian people, and that they are hoping for a return to peace as soon as possible.
