Ahmad Jarba, president of the Syrian Coalition, discussed the political and military situation in Syria during a meeting with the head of the United Arab Emirates’ delegation to the Arab Summit. Jarba commended the FSA’s progress on multiple fronts, especially in Aleppo and the coast. The head of the United Arab Emirates’ delegation reiterated his country’s full support for giving Syria’s seat in the Arab League to the Syrian Coalition. He also praised the performance of the Syrian Coalition’s delegation to Geneva II, expressing his belief that “the failure of the peace conference emphasizes the need to support the Syrian Coalition and its military arm, the FSA, to move toward a political solution that ends the tragedy of the Syrian people.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
