Strangely, the so-called National Coalition of Saudi Arabia’s al-Jarba and other yes-men of multinationals, agreed yesterday to attend Geneva 2. However, such a would be attendance, which came after the hysteric No’s of al-Jarba, is indeed a farce!
The Coalition, dictated by its masters to attend, has presented some funny conditions as to attend. Out of its conviction that it lacks any popular support among the Syrians on the ground, the Coalition conditioned its participation to humanitarian aid to the Syrians! How comes that the Coalition, responsible through its reckless adventures and the countries supporting it to the slaughter of many Syrians, would speak about humanitarian concerns about the Syrians.
The Saudi al-Jarba’s collection of mostly dual nationality yes men talks big as if it were indeed the opposition. Al-Jarba’s collection is but a small portion of the non-national opposition. It is so because its main task has been to call for foreign intervention in Syria’s affairs, it has been sowing sedition, hatred and extremism, it has been collaborating with its masters in arming, training the cannibals against the Syrians.
Another crazy condition by the Coalition was to assign roles to Syria’s real builders and defenders! If the President of Syria is to have no role in the future of Syria, who is to have such a role? al-Jarba himself or his master Bandar, the father of al-Qaeda and its affiliates! Many would challenge al-Jarba to give a list of tens of Syrians who back and support him. All the so-called National Coalition has no representation on the ground among the Syrians. It is a pre-fabricated invented Coalition, which lacks even the slightest legitimacy and popular support. Even when it comes to opposition, the Coalition is nothing but the bastard illegitimate son of the petro-dollars.
Geneva 2 is supposed to pave the way for halting violence and draining the sources for arming, training and dispatching of al-Qaeda affiliates. Transitional government, yes, why not, given the recent amendments to Article 8 in the new Constitution. We already have some distinguished figures from the true opposition in the current Syrian Government. The numbers of such ministers can be increased, and their executive role is enshrined and definite in accordance with the Constitution.
The role of the President of the Syrian Arab Republic is defined in and by the Constitution and not by any power whatsoever. Our President is now even more than ever the subject of the majority consensus; he has been pioneering the defense of all Syrians in the face of the cannibals and al-Qaeda affiliates. If the ewes take pride in their petrodollars, gas, oil and the like; here in Syria, the majority does take pride in having the everlasting treasure of having this very man as their president.
So, let it be for the Syrians to choose what they want. It is through ballot boxes and not bullets, through the elimination of cannibals and terrorists, through the halting of armed groups’ slaughter of the Syrians as well as through the ending of foreign support and backing to the terrorists.
