Israeli Servant Syria opposition heads ask Imperialist France for military aid

Head of the so-called Syrian National Coalition (SNC) and chief commander of the terrorist Free Syrian Army (FSA) say they plan to ask France for various forms of help including military aid.

On Tuesday, the new head of SNC, Ahmad Assi Jarba, who is on a two-day trip to France, said “This is one of the goals of our visit among other issues.”

“Obviously we will ask France for total political support, diplomatic support, humanitarian emergency aid, and military and other aid,” Jarba added.

Jarba was elected as the SNC head on July 6. He received 55 votes, defeating Mustafa al-Sabbagh, Qatar’s point man in the opposition, in the second round of election at the group’s meeting in Istanbul, where the umbrella group of Syria opposition is based.

FSA chief, Selim Idriss, who is accompanying Jabra, in the trip to France also said the opposition was “working with our European and American friends to obtain technical, medical and humanitarian assistance and, we hope, also weapons and ammunition.”

Reports say Jarba is scheduled to meet French President Francois Hollande on Wednesday.

On July 18, US-based representatives of Syria’s foreign-backed opposition coalition said that Idriss was expected to go to New York for the meetings at the United Nations headquarters.

The travel plan has been confirmed by a UN Security Council diplomat. Other reports, however, indicate that the trip has not been fully confirmed.

Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011.

A very large number of the militants operating inside Syria are reportedly foreign nationals.

According to reports, the West and its regional allies – especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey – are supporting the militants inside Syria.
