Impoverished heart surgeon to lead new Syrian ‘national opposition army’ of 40+ rebel groups
2017-09-06
[AlMasdar] According to pro-opposition media, it appears that some forty (40) plus hard boy groups operating across Syria will merge to form a unified national army.

The commander-in-chief of this assortment of various Gulf-backed mercenary groups in Syria will be a zero-income heart surgeon by the name of Jawad Abo Hatab who runs the officially (self-declared) bankrupt Syrian Interim Government.

Dr. Hatab is both the president and defense minister for the so-called Syrian Interim Government. In his role as the defense minister, he is to now form a committee that selects a chief of staff for the new national opposition army.

Jawad Abo Hatab complained before opposition media about one month ago that the Syrian Interim Government had no money to pay its staff and that all those who worked with the anti-Damascus polity were considered volunteers.

Below is a statement, released on pro-rebel media, regarding the merging of forty different hard boy factions into a ’national army’ against the Assad government.
Images of two pages of Arabic writing with a terribly official looking eagle crest can be seen at the link. Possibly of interest to those who can read modern Arabic.
