The National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces ( Arabic الائتلاف الوطني لقوى الثورة والمعارضة السورية, DMG al-i'tilāf al-Watani li-qiwā T-ṯawra wa-l-mu'āraḍa as-Suriya ), frequently Syrian National Coalition shortened, is an opposition alliance in the Syrian civil war , which in the November 11, 2012 Qatari capital Doha was founded . Your task is to first establish a provisional government-in-exile under Ahmed Tomeh , and after the intended overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad, to form a transitional government in Syria .
composition
Until May 2013, the president of the national coalition was the moderate Sunni cleric Moas al-Khatib . The entrepreneur Riad Seif and the activist Suheir Atassi , who are attributed to the secular camp , were elected as vice-presidents of the coalition . Moustapha Sabbagh has been named General Secretary.
The total of 60 members of the Syrian National Coalition (including two women) belong to organizations such as the Syrian National Council (22 seats), the most important opposition alliance to date. 40 activists were elected to the body of the opposition bloc. Not all of the opposition groups that emerged in the course of the uprising against the Assad regime have joined the national coalition. For example, the National Coordination Committee is not represented.
The conservative regime critic Ghassan Hitto was elected the first Prime Minister of the transitional government on March 18, 2013 . He held this position until his resignation on July 8, 2013.
Support and rejection in Syria
The local coordination committees support the national coalition. The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood also welcomed the agreement on a broader opposition alliance and described the formation of the national coalition as a “positive step”.
In a joint statement, 13 to 14 radical Islamist groups, including the al-Nusra Front , announced their rejection of the national coalition on the grounds that it was a “conspiratorial project”. However, this is not the opinion of all armed opponents of the government, said the commander of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in Aleppo , Abdel Jabbar al-Okaidi, and the FSA's military council stands behind the national coalition.
The Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) announced that it would not recognize the national coalition.
In August 2013, the FSA's Supreme Military Council rejected the national coalition as a conspiratorial and illegitimate project in view of recent poison gas attacks in Damascus. She does not represent the people in Syria who expected an appropriate response to the internationally banned weapons used, and the Arab countries have never reacted appropriately, said Colonel Fateh Hassoun, Deputy Chief of Staff of the FSA.
In the course of 2015, the national coalition with the Syrian Democratic Forces and their political arm, the Syrian Democratic Council , which emerged in the context of the Northern Syria-Rojava Federation , became a Kurdish rival for the representation of the Syrian opposition.
International recognition
On November 12, 2012, the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council announced that they recognized the national coalition as the “legitimate representative of the Syrian people”.
On November 13 and 15, 2012, France and Turkey announced the recognition of the coalition as the “only legitimate representative of the Syrian people”. The coalition named the diplomat Monzer Makhous , who belongs to the Alawite minority, as permanent representative in France, who will be appointed ambassador after the formation of a provisional government .
On November 20, 2012, the UK recognized the national coalition as the "only legitimate representative of the Syrian people".
The United States of America recognized the national coalition on December 11, 2012 as "the legitimate representative of the Syrian people". The following day, at a meeting of the Friends of Syria, over 100 countries, including Germany and Austria , recognized the national coalition as the only legitimate representative of the Syrian people.
