(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syria's opposition group the National Coalition has nominated new names to head its embassy in Qatar, two weeks after dismissing of Nizar al-Heraki.
The potential candidates are Abdo Hossam El Din, former deputy minister of oil, and Coalition’s spokesman Salim al-Mislat, in addition to former diplomat Bashar al-Haj Ali, according to Zaman al-Wasl.
Meanwhile, NC’s leader Khaled Khoja has asked Heraki to conduct the embassy's business until a new Ambassador is appointed.
The former candidates who failed to get Coalition’s approval are 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 is Louai Safi, academic and prominent opposition figure based in Washington.
Coalition’s General Commission refused an appeal by members loyal to Heraki to give the ousted ambassador another chance after the controversial case of passports renewing.
