    ما بعد «جنيف 2»

    Article de Haytham Manna dans Al-Akhbar. Il y revient sur l’échec programmé de la conférence de Genève (son récit apporte quelques détails inédits) et donc sur son refus d’y participer. Pour lui (comme le Comité national pour le changement démocratique), il est urgent de passer à une autre solution politique, sur des bases plus saines. La version anglaise du quotidien libanais reprendra sans doute l’article, en attendant, il y a cette traduction d’une intervention, plus ancienne mais sur le même thème, de Manna : http://cpa.hypotheses.org/5004.

    • Beyond Geneva II – Haytham Manna
      http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/beyond-geneva-ii

      British-French-American concerns were to veto any part of the opposition that don’t fall under their control, or that are financed and aided by others (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar). Mr Robert Ford came with an opposition delegation who agreed to attend Geneva (58 members out of the 120 in the National Coalition, which means half of them formed the delegation) in a screaming assault against the oppositions right to form its own delegation, according to the Tenth Paragraph of the Geneva Communique.

      Meanwhile, Mr. Bogdanov quit interfering with forming the governments delegation following his attempt to create a balanced delegation containing a minimum number from the different sides involved in the present government. This case of the Russian resignation came in the name of “respecting the Syrian decision”, and the American domination came in the name of forming an opposition delegation harmonious under the Western and Gulf states; which means placing a Molotov cocktail in Hall 16 and the continuous perseverance to prevent an explosion that will defeat the promised hope of a political solution.

      The opposition delegation legitimacy and representatives are infected with an illness found even within the coalition, in addition to their lack of negotiation experience. As a result, the ceiling of demands will rise to prove that they were right even though they are very much involved with the armed groups and the rest of the Syrian political opposition.
