Syrian dissidents to get help from Libya to oust Assad’s regime

Share:

The new Libyan government is well on its way to help Syrian fighters against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime with arms after a meeting held in Istanbul between the two sides, a newspaper reported Saturday.

A Libyan source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Britain’s Telegraph, that the aid will extend beyond providing the Syrian fighters with arms but that Libya could also offer potential volunteers to help up rebels in their struggle against Assad’s regime.

“There is something being planned to send weapons and even Libyan fighters to Syria,” said the Libyan source.

The Libyan source also heralded that “there is a military intervention on the way. Within a few weeks you will see.”

According to the newspaper, preliminary discussion about arms supplies dates back to early November 2011, when members of the main opposition group, the Syrian National Council [SNC] visited Libya.

“The Libyans are offering money, training and weapons to the Syrian National Council,” said Wisam Taris, a human rights campaigner with ties to the SNC.

Due to logistical difficulties, large shipments of Libyan weapons are not yet received by the Syrian fighters, said activists, adding that there are proposals to create a buffer zone inside Syria, monitored by the Arab League, or the likely emergence of an area inside the country controlled entirely by rebels.

Meanwhile, the Telegraph quoted sources from the Libyan town of Misrata as saying that some weapons may already have been shipped.

Libya’s interim government was the first to recognize Syria’s opposition movement as the country’s ‘legitimate authority.’

In addition to the potential Libyan assistance, Turkey, a former ally to Assad’s government, is already sheltering about 7,000 Syrian opposition activists and the dissident Free Syrian Army.

    While the feelings of ‘the people’ of Libya may be with ‘the people’ of Syria, I doubt they have enough time to be trying to arrange deliveries while attempting to re-start their own economy and government and lives.
    Perhaps there’s a few, however, still trying to ‘spread the word’.

  3. I Pity what the Alawite did to the Syrian nation , how this nation was the prosperous and modern with Chichakli and el Zaim and el Atasi ,look what happen when the slave rule , as my grandmother use  to say ” Najina min abed iza hakam . When you watch the TV and see the Libyan revolution you can’t but respect at least what Khadafi did education wise  , it is so impressive to see that every single Libyan on various TV channels spoke English almost perfectly and many spoke French, and all wear jeans T shirt and very modern, and looking at Syria , most of the people look uneducated wearing clothes that belong to beginning of the 20th century ,on some instances many government spokesman like Moualem ( Fat bastard) can’t speak a foreign language,No Wonder it is taking so much time to overthrow the animal Assad , as the Alawites really subdued the Sunnis , you could see them hopeless , crippled by fear and terrorized especially when now Hizbollah or Hizb al shayatin and Iranian Jund al evil are contributing to the killing in Syria . A Libyan help is a must as they showed real guts in overthrowing the mad Khadafi !!!

      Depsots and Dictators have always gone after the most educated first Guss. Eliminating people with at least a full high-school education and who have a liberal view of the real world, and forcing ignorance in the larger sense of humankind, is necessary to keeping the rest enslaved. Pol Pot had it as his doctrine ‘for’ the people … the Kim family practices it in the jail that is North Korea … and we know of the Ayatolla’s need to attack the universities in 2009 as students were becoming ‘aware’. One reason there’s a ‘shudder’ when a Hezzy appointee becomes head of the University in Beirut. Control of thought is almost as effective as killing the children – and leads to less animosity for longer periods of time.

      4. That reminds me why Armenians commemorate April 24 because that day during WW1 the Ottoman Turks picked up all educated leaders of Armenians in Istanboule including some that were members of Turkish parliament raided their homes and hanged them one by one. What I mean what 5th Drawer said dictators do this so regular people will be leaderless and helpless. Till now the current government denies this fact.

      Guss043 please don’t blame the Alawite for their fortune, the Syrian Sunnis did it to themselves, the have been sleeping at the switch for 40 years and did not bother to take their future with their own hands, I can only describe them as coward and unwilling to stand up for what was and is their right to live like human beings. Peace
