Translation by Yusra Ahmed
(Zaman Al Wasl-Special)- The national
coalition is witnessing new formation of a hidden bloc to face the new Chief of
the Coalition, Khalid Khoja and his new decisions, starting with forwarding the
decision of sacking the Coalition’s Ambassador to Qatar, Nizar al-Heraki to the
General body for voting.
A well informed source reveals to
Zaman al-Wasl that bloc consists of many figures of different political
orientation, but still they have a united goal which is facing Khoja’s new wave
of reforming.
The source explains that if the bloc
managed to cancel Khoja’s decision in regard to al-Heraki, the Chief of the
Coalition would resign, which would complicate the situation.
The source mentions that Qatari
Government respects the Coalition’s decision in regard to al-Heraki’s sacking,
and appointing any other alternative.
In regard to Khoja’s reforming
strategy, the well informed source said that he has sacked some figures for
their lagging in their duties like the Coalition’s representative in Egypt, the
Minister of Finance, the minister of Energy and Mineral Treasury.
In regard to candidates nominated for
the position of the Coalition’s Ambassador in Qatar, the source mentioned three
names, Loay Safi, Lamya al-Hariri and Abdel-Latif Dabbagh.
Al-Hariri was the Head of the
Diplomatic envoy to Cyprus, she was the first defected diplomat of the regime
in 2012, her Husband Abdel latif Dabbagh, the Ambassador of the regime,
followed her and defected next day.
Loay Safi, a Political researcher and
a Professor in Indiana University, the founder member of the council of the
House of Peace and Democracy, he has been well known in Geneva-2 negotiations.
Coalition’s members supporting the
decision of sacking al-Heraki rely on a report published by members of the
Coalition’s Embassy in Doha, in which they mentioned that Heraki had appointed
his brother-in-law as a Consul, his friend Nasr Abo Nabot as the first
Secretary, besides appointing Abel Qader al-Khatib, Brother of Moaz
al-Khatib,the former Coalition’s Chief’s as the Manager of the Syrian School in
Doha.
Other big mistakes al-Heraki committed
was his visit to Russia with al-Khatib without consulting the Coalition,
besides the crisis of renewing stickers for Syrian passports.
Qatar is one of the main supporters of
Syrian revolution, the National Coalition and the Interim Government, it covers
all expenses of the Coalition’s Embassy and Diplomats’ salaries.
