Free Syrian Army Turns Against Peace Talks
Published: June 2013 By Abiodun Giwa
The Free Syria Army has said it may not attend the peace talk scheduled to hold in Geneva, unless it has enough armament to bolster its position against Bashar al- Assad's army. The leader of the freedom fighters admits what he references as Assad's fortified position against his army, because of Russia and Iran's support to Assad that marginalizes the freedom fighters efforts.
Observers are quick to say that the freedom fighters are indirectly saying they are not getting enough support from their own supporters. But what has arms got to do with talking peace on a roundtable, away from the battlefield?
The peace talk, coming on the efforts of the United States and Russia, is planned to hold in Geneva.
The Syrian war began March 2011; it had claimed over 70,000 lives and prompted the United Nations - in a resolution - called for an end to the war.
