Situation in Aleppo and Interim Cabinet Line-Up Tops General Assembly’s Meeting

On the third day of the General Assembly’s meetings, Ahmad Tomeh, president-elect of the interim government, presented his cabinet line-up. Conferees agreed during the past two days to form a committee tasked with following-up on the military developments in Aleppo, and also designated five Syrian Coalition members to coordinate the provision of urgent relief measures with the interim government and Aleppo local council. The General Assembly called upon the FSA’s General Staff to draw up a plan to defend the city of Aleppo in cooperation with Aleppo military council, and the Ministries of Defense and Interior and the FSA factions within a period of two weeks. Moreover, a committee was formed to draft a statement on the position of the Syrian Coalition on the UN special envoy de Mistura’s ceasefire proposal. Burhan Ghalioun, member of the Syrian Coalition, said that the plan put forward by the UN special envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura, which aims to “freeze” the fighting in some areas between the FSA and regime force, will benefit the Assad as it will enable it to reap the fruits of the policy of starvation, indiscriminate killings and the systematic displacement of the population. Implementing this plan will mean that Syrians have eventually acquiesced to end the revolt without receiving any guarantees for real change in the ruling regime. In other words, in return for being spared death by barrel bombs and accepting the status quo, starving Syrians will receive international food aid and the siege imposed on them by regime forces will be lifted.” Ghalioun pointed out that “while de Mistura’s plan raises the prospect of making a breakthrough in the ongoing attempts to reach a truce and put an end the deadly conflict, it, however, cannot be used as a basis for any initiative to bring about a political solution to the ongoing conflict. The Iranians, Assad’s staunchest ally, are now fully aware that the conflict has morphed into a war of attrition for all sides, especially the Assad regime whose primary concern now is “freezing” the conflict and reaching a cease-fire in order to stop the rapid deterioration of its military and political position. Applying a cease-fire without any conditions, except the delivery of food and medical supplies to the besieged areas, simply means relieving Assad of all military and international pressures and giving it the chance to tighten its grip on the areas under its control. Meanwhile, the opposition-held areas will plunge further into chaos and infighting while begging for international aid. Such a situation does not only constitute a guarantee for the survival of Assad, but will also lift the burden of the Syrian conflict from the shoulders of the international community. Then the Syrian conflict, originally a revolution against a tyrannical regime, will be minimized to its humanitarian side. And while the international community will continue to provide aid to the opposition-held areas, it will little by little will deal with Damascus as the capital of what will remain of the Syrian state.” Commenting on the Assad regime’s initial approval of the proposal put forward by the UN special envoy, Ghalioun said that “Assad’s consent to this plan comes as no surprise as he sees in it a lifeline and an opportunity to consolidate the status quo while tightening his grip on central Syria and its most valuable resources. Syria’s remaining parts will be left as a poisoned gift for the rebels and the extremist forces to contend for and eventually deplete each other. It is no coincidence that de Mistura chose Aleppo as a testing ground for his plan as freezing the fighting in this city will allow the Assad regime to assemble more troops to eliminate the opposition strongholds in East Ghouta near Damascus.” Ghalioun concluded his remarks stressing that de Mistura’s plan represents the best culmination of Assad’s policy of forcing rebels to sign truces in some areas across Syria through which he managed to neutralize thousands of rebel fighters and to ease the burden placed on his troops to consolidate his control over Damascus, the center and the coastal area.
