The Syria National Council held talks on Sunday in Doha in an effort to form a more united coalition, and consider the possibility of transforming it into a government in exile.
Set to take place over four days, the talks are to include younger voices with a view to forming a stronger united leadership for the anti-Assad force.
The meeting comes after the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, called for a reshaping of the SNC, saying,
“There has to be representation of those who are on the front lines fighting and dying in Syria today to obtain their freedom,”
“This cannot be an opposition represented by people who have many good attributes but have in many instances not been inside Syria for 20, 30 or 40 years.”
