The Syrian army is still trying to chase the thugs out of al Qusayr in the vicinity of Homs the battles now are taking place in the triangle of al Dab’a , ‘Arjoun , al Qusayr in the north of al Qusayr and there are 8 deaths among the thugs and 20 prisoners 7 among them are non Syrians . The battle is extremely difficult because the snipers are hiding everywhere in the fields which makes the progress of the Syrian army slow.. The thugs of the opposition have sent a call to all fighters to head to al Qusayr and men and ammunition are still reaching the thugs through the northern part of al Qusayr . Lebanese thugs are rushing from Wadi Khaled Lebanon towards al Qusayr while the road of supplies and ammunitions is completely cut from the Lebanese side . Some 25 thousand civilians are still living in the area which makes the battle more difficult.
On the other hand the battle, of al Rastan outside al Qusayr in the vicinity of Homs-between Homs and Hama- has started as scheduled before and three of the major leaders of the opposition have found their death there .
The repercussions in Tripoli ,north of Lebanon, cannot be overlooked the battles between the Sunni and the Alawite quarters have caused the death of thirteen people until now. This has for goal to relieve a little bit the Al Qusayr front where the major battle is taking place. The repercussions in Iraq are not less important.
The fifth conference of the so called Friends of Syria taking place in Amman, Jordan today is almost a fiasco with only 11 ministers of foreign affairs present among them Uglu , Hamad and Kerry . We are far from the previous conferences who used to gather 150 ministers from all over the world . This conference has one goal which is to have the opposition accept unconditional negotiations with the Syrian government that do NOT require the stepping down of Assad and to prepare for Geneva 2 Peace Conference scheduled in June and sponsored by US and Russia..
The Syrian opposition has taken different stands and the US administration wants a unified opposition . The opposition inside Syria is preparing itself, as for the outside opposition it will have to get its act together and become one and start negotiating with the Syrian authorities .There are many impediments to this mainly the factions fighting on the ground and the opposition defector officer Saleem Idriss -of the FSA -wants the US to provide the factions of opposition with 700 tons of ammunition weekly as a prerequisite to attend the June peace conference taking place in Geneva, .The ammunition should include anti tank missiles as expressed by the defector.
