(Zaman Alwasl)- Rebels' Supreme Military Council in statement issued Saturday has dismissed its bloc in the Oppositions’ National Coalition, calling on key rebel factions in Syria to appoint a new 15-member bloc.
According to the statement, seen by Zaman Alwasl, 16 rebel commanders in the SMC have signed the resolution.
Syria’s moderate rebel (SMC), mainly Syrian army defectors, has been accused of dealing with International powers against rebels' will, what makes its armed unit, the Free Syrian Amy (FSA), a target for Islamist rebels’ assaults.
Months ago, SMC sacked its chairman Gen. Salim Idriss after continuous disputes and sporadic accusations over FSA’s retreat to the favor of radical groups such as the Islamic State group and Jabhat al-Nusra.
Syria's three-year conflict began as popular protests against four decades of Assad family rule but changed into armed insurgency under a security force crackdown.
More than 171,000 people killed and over 9 million forced to flee their homes.
