Key to the new international mood
for talks is the leader of the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), Muath Al
Khatib. Although Al Khatib is not a polished performer in the political arena,
has changed his stance more than once and is accused by colleagues in the
coalition of acting unilaterally, he has managed to install himself in a
pivotal role at the centre of the crisis.
…
Many are questioning the role and
motives of new Syrian Kingpin, Al Khatib. The Americans might see him as a
potential puppet — the Karzai of Syria — and it was notable that his coalition
did not condemn Israel ’s
recent air-strike inside Syria .
However, the former Imam of the
Umayyad Mosque in Damascus
has a reputation for being an independent thinker and is clearly prepared to
take a risk. We will have to wait and see what cards he is concealing in the
hand he holds so closely to his chest.
He is the guy who has all the ingredients above anyone eles
from the Opposition camp; looks, background, uncorrupted, been jailed few times
and on the run, conjure imam of the Umayyad
Mosque, has been inside Syrian until
all along, ground people like him, wise and charisma… etc…, he is pragmatics, what do you want more?
The world should stand behind him, support him!
