Al Jazeera: United Syrian Opposition Group Formed


Source:Al Jazeera reporter Hashem Ahelbarra.

"Syria's main opposition group, the Syrian National Council, has agreed to join forces with other opposition groups at a meeting in Qatar.

Made up of various anti-government factions, in a step toward forming a broad-based interim government, the new umbrella organisation will be called the Syrian National Coalition.

Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra reports from Doha." 


"Al Jazeera (Arabic: الجزيرة Al-Jazīrah [æl (d)ʒæˈziːrɐ], lit. 'The Peninsula') is a Qatari state-owned[a] Arabic-language international news television network. It is based in Doha and operated by the Al Jazeera Media Network.

The patent holding is a "private foundation for public benefit" under Qatari law.[3] Under this organizational structure, the parent receives funding from the Qatari government while maintaining nominal editorial independence.[4][5] At the onset of the Qatar diplomatic crisis in 2017, several national governments of the Arab League called for the closure of the entire Al Jazeera conglomerate as part of a list of thirteen demands that were presented to the Qatari government in exchange for re-normalized relations.[6] Al Jazeera has been accused of pushing "Qatari propaganda" by many countries and organizations, including those in the Arab world.

Great news for anyone who wants the Assad Regime to be defeated in Syria. This will bring in more support for the Syrian Rebels, because now Europe and America will know who they are dealing with and what they want."
