The Syrian National Coalition issued the final communique of the 49th meeting of the General Assembly which focused its discussion on the humanitarian catastrophe in Idlib. President of the Syrian Coalition, Anas al-Abda, extended his greetings to our patient, steadfast people in Idlib for the generosity, courage, steadfastness, resilience, and resistance they are showing.”
In his opening speech, President Al-Abda said that the people of Idlib and the Syrian National Army are facing a fierce, systematic bombing campaign being carried out by Russia and the murderous regime. “The bombing campaign is mainly targeting civilians and vital infrastructure with the aim of emptying those areas of their residents and forcing them out of their homes.”
Moreover, President Al-Abda said that there is no change in the Russian strategy aimed at subjecting all areas to the regime’s control through the scorched earth policy. Russia is also reinforcing the approach of the regime which insists on pursuing a military solution.
He stressed that the regime bears full responsibility for the growing economic crisis and the suffering of Syrian civilians resulting from the skyrocketing prices and the collapse of the Syrian pound and its impact on the life of the ordinary civilians.
The Coalition’s members reaffirmed the Syrian people’s choice of resistance by all means. These include working behind enemy lines, strengthening the relationship with the revolution’s social base, and emphasizing the importance of the unification of ranks at the military and political levels.
The Coalition’s members saluted the heroic people of Iraq, the brotherly people of Lebanon and all the Arab peoples who are struggling to regain their rights to establish democratic systems of rule that ensure basic freedoms, put them on the path of overcoming internal crises, and get rid of the obstacles to development and independence.
The General Assembly discussed the reports of the Department of External Relations and the report of the National Committee for the Affairs of Detainees and Missing Persons.
They also discussed the most important meetings as they discussed the challenges facing the political process in light of the Assad regime’s refusal to engage in the work of the Constitutional Committee.
