Dear Francois,

I met today with Ms. Basama Kadmani, of the Syrian National Council, who is=visiting New York to lobby members of the Security Council. I learned from=her the followings: 1.The United States forbid Gulf States from providing the Syrian Free Army =ith the weapons necessary to effectively defend themselves. I advised them=to pursue this matter with London; UK has more influence with Washington; =. I inquired about the whereabout of Vice President Farouk Al-Shara. Ms. K=dmani said that he is, like all vice presidents, waiting in the shadow for=orders from his his boss; she said that he "coward" and nothing daring is =xpected of him; 3.The SNC is now pondering its next strategy; for, the cur=ent political process has failed. The Security Council will not be able to=end the violence and secure a political settlement; 4.The Syrian oppositio= is fragmented and the regime, through its many agents, has infiltrated it= There are so many military formations that are working independently from e=ch other. In ldlib province, there are al least eighty military grioups. 1= Douma, small town in the outskirt of Damascus, there are many military or=anizations fighting the regular army without unified military command; S.T=e Syrian National Council lacks the necessary resources to provide for the=humanitarian needs of the refugees and buy essential arms for Syrian Free =rmy; and 6.The Syrian opposition look with trepidation at the growing str=ngth of Wahabi Salfist movements and their disruptive rule. Please convey to Tereje. Best regards, Abdullah
