Syria's Opposition Votes to Attend Geneva ll Peace Talks

The situation in Syria was and still one of the priorities at the U.S. Foreign policy agenda. Finally, after three years of war, losing hundreds of thousands of the Syrian people, millions left displaced among some other millions fled to other countries, the U.S. secretary of state, John Kerry, succeed on having a vote among the Syrian National Coalition over attending Geneva ll peace talks. 58 among such Coalition voted for attending while some other 14 members did not go for such idea. This considered to be a successful step within the Syrian themselves to solve such problem after we witnessed the world community unable to solve it because of the conflicting interests among the Security Council members. Still there are some fears among the members of the Coalition that Bashar Ala’saad might be included at any governmental transaction in the future. They agreed that the negotiating table is just a mean to achieve the demands of the revolution, which includes removing Bashar Ala’saad (The Butcher) from power. Although they have the right to do so, but it makes it hard for the negotiations to even start.
