By Abdullah Al Ghadawi

(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syria’s opposition representative in Britain resigned months ago but the National Coalition did not disclose, Zaman al-Wasl source says as National Coalition looks for a new one.

Walid Saffour, who was appointed as NC representative in Britain in November 2012, has complained lack of support since coalition has no headquarter. 

In relevant development, the Coalition has nominated three figures to head its embassy in Qatar, two weeks after dismissing of Nizar al-Heraki.

According to Zaman al-Wasl, NC's general commission will vote this week on Lamiaa al-Hariri, former head of Syrian diplomatic mission to Cyprus, and Abdul Latif al-Sabbagh, former Ambassador. Al-Hariri and Sabbagh (Wife and Husband) defected Syrian regime in 2012 and now live in Qatar.

The third nominee is Louai Safi, academic and prominent opposition figure based in Washington.

Meanwhile, Coalition’s members who opposed al-Heraki dismissal will also vote on the appeal decision, saying we should give (him) another chance after the controversial case of passports renewing in the last few months.
