I think they are basically a gov’t in exile that Khaddam has put together.
Khaddam is the former Syrian VP, who fled in 2005(6?) and accused Assad of being involved in the murder of Rafiq Hariri in Lebanon. He’s been living in exile in Paris.
Reading about him reveals that he is sunni & seems to have ties to the Saudi royal family. He was a right-hand man of Hafez Assad.
Ok, thanks. Sounds like another ‘in-house’ power struggle, with lots of gripes - more typical of the ME history & political scene.
Besides, all politicians or aspiring ‘leaders’ tend to right cheques (checks) their other parts can’t necessarily cash..
In that respect, and for foreign policy, an old adage comes to mind: “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”.
