Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood: U.S. policy disappoints Syrian people


Deputy Leader of the opposition National Coalition and Comptroller General of Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood has accused the United States policy in Syria of disappointing the Syrian People at all aspects not only in the military support.

In special interview with Zaman Alwasl, Mohammed Farouq Tayfour said, “At the beginning of Syrian Revolution we believed that the American support would be with a benefit, because the revolution’s aims go in-line with the Human Rights principles, and the American general policy. However, unfortunately, the American support was little and more restricted while the Russian and Iranian support is unlimited to Assad’s regime, he added.     

Very soon the chemical deal revealed another face for U.S. when Mr. Barak  Obama left the Syrian crisis to Russian, even they described Assads running to deliver the chemical weapon as appositive sign, ignoring his brutality and the crimes were committed against the Syrian people to be freed of any punishment, according to Tayfour.

BM leader said that Robert Ford, the American Ambassador who is responsible for Syrian Revolution file had explained that USA aimed to achieve balance between opposition and Syrian regime before the American election in 2012, and they were worried from opposition’s ability to overthrow the regime any time before election. 

 Mr. Tayfour called for International community support and help from Friends of Syria to provide aid and support to people in need as the Assad regime is adopting starvation policy to punish Syrian people, unfortunately, coalition and most the charitable and humanitarian organizations cannot afford more that 10% of people’s needs, he added.

He stressed that main opposition group, the National Coalition has done its best to break the heavy siege especially in al-Ghouta, Homs, as well they demanded the international community to establish safe corridors to deliver essential needs for people under siege. 

Regarding the Islamic State in Iraq and The Levant, BM leader said: “we try to avoid any clashes or engagement between ISIS and the Free Syrian Army, and FSA has reached to agreements with it in many areas, we hope it would stop any invasion and control of liberated areas, as it entered al-Raqqa and Azaz after they were liberated already.”   

 The first priority is to unify all forces to overthrow the regime and afterward they would start building the civil country.

He considered it too soon to deal with ISIS as a State aims to separate from Syria, and he thought that constitution and governmental institution can inforce law, not by the power of arms.   Mr. Tayfour hold the Syrian regime responsibility for any extremism or sectarian struggle, either in Lebanon or Syria, even in Iraq.  

According to the New Syria whether if it will be Islamic or not, Tayfour considered implementing Islam’s roles by force unacceptable, as he considered the future government and its institutions which would be responsible for applying the roles and constitution.

He stressed that Muslim Brotherhood in Syria is a sample of moderate Islam and he does not feel that difficult time the movement has in Egypt could affect them in Syria, despite what is happening in Egypt these days affect all the Arab World. 

What ever happens in Syria, it’s not a civil war as the western media alleged, Tayfour said, the best evidence contradicts that claim is the National Coalition itself which founded of all sects and ethnicities, he added.
