The split in the camp of the enemies of Assad
The Syrian opposition, which openly opposes the authorities in the country, is experiencing a serious split. Its active wing left dozens of prominent figures, in Syria, the process of creating another front of opponents of the regime of Bashar al-Assad.Today, around 20, prominent opposition figures have announced their withdrawal from the SNA (Syrian National Council) and the creation of a new opposition movement called the “Syrian Patriots Group”.
The movement’s communiqué states that the SNS could not achieve satisfactory results and fulfill all the requirements of the Syrian opposition forces.
The Syrian army is currently continuing its offensive in northern Syria, where the opposition-controlled town of Binnish is located. For over an hour, Syrian troops have been artillery shelling of the city.
Recall that the day before the Syrian government held a referendum on the new constitution, despite the continuing violence.
Syria's leadership reports on the success of the referendum on the creation and adoption of a new draft Constitution. According to the Ministry of Information "the activity was remarkable."
We also recall that on the eve of the “Friends of Syria” conference was held, during which a number of countries discussed measures of pressure on the political regime of Bashar al-Assad and the possibilities of resolving the conflict in the country. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the meeting was one-sided, the Russian side is still “not clear about the status of the document that was circulated.” He regrets that during this meeting conditions were not created that would have pushed the Syrians into political dialogue.
Recall that the representatives of Saudi Arabia on Friday refused to take part in the conference. During a conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia said that now any dialogue to resolve the crisis in Syria will be useless.
