unstar this property answer text <p>We are in constant contact with the Syrian opposition, including with the newly-elected President of the National Coalition, Hadi al-Bahra. We are increasing our support for them, as they counter the threats from extremists and Assad’s regime. UK Special Representative to Syria, Jon Wilks, met President al-Bahra on 10 and 15 July. In these discussions Mr Wilks stressed the UK’s strong support for the National Coalition’s goal of a transition to peaceful, democratic and inclusive Syria. I look forward to meeting and working with President al-Bahra in due course.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>The lack of democratic freedoms in Syria is at the root of the current crisis. The recent elections held by the Assad regime were a parody of democracy, taking place against the backdrop of horrendous violence, and with many millions of Syrians disenfranchised.</p><p>Since its formation in October 2012, we have provided the National Coalition with practical and political support designed to help it become ever more credible and inclusive and to promote democracy inside Syria. We have also worked with grass-roots civil society groups and local councils in Syria to promote good governance at a local level. Our work with the moderate opposition is now more vital than ever as they face a dual threat from the Assad regime and terrorist groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) who want to destroy democracy in the region and replace it with an Islamic State.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>Reports from Kobane continue to be deeply concerning and we are watching the situation closely. Over recent days, however, the defenders of Kobane, supported by coalition airstrikes, have been able to hold their position against ISIL, and in some areas they are pushing back. The moderate opposition have held back ISIL in other parts of Northern Syria. We strongly support the coalition airstrikes that are being carried out in Syria by the United States, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Jordan. As well as supporting international military action to push back ISIL, we are providing technical assistance and non-lethal equipment to the moderate opposition in Syria, whose forces fighting are ISIL on the ground, and providing humanitarian aid to those areas, like Kobane, that have been worst affected by the crisis. The Department for International Development has already responded to the urgent needs of Syrian Kurdish refugees that have fled to Turkey and is in a state of readiness to react swiftly to further developments.</p>

unstar this property answer text <p>The British Government continues to provide strong support to the moderate opposition, including technical assistance and non-lethal equipment. The UK has recently increased the amount allocated this financial year to support areas under opposition control and increase the resilience of our regional allies to the effects of the Syria conflict from £30 million to £46 million. Our support along with that of our allies has enabled the Free Syrian police establish 90 police stations in liberated areas. It has supported 600 volunteers in 51 civil defence stations across northern Syria, trained and equipped to carry out search &amp; rescue, fire-fighting and first aid, saving over 2,500 lives. This support has helped to consolidate the moderate opposition as they work to build capacity to deliver governance and essential public services.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>Through his brutal repression of the Syrian people and his fuelling of extremism, Assad has lost control of vast areas of his own country. There are reports that Allawite communities in Syria are increasingly disillusioned with Assad. His regime has shown itself incapable of the kind of inclusive and representative government that is necessary to lead a national campaign against ISIL and provide stability in Syria. While the international coalition and moderate opposition forces have been tackling ISIL, Assad has been continuing his attacks and aerial bombardments on the civilian population including around Aleppo and Damascus. The UK is determined to keep pressing for an inclusive and mutually agreed political settlement in Syria, and to keep increasing the pressure on Assad to help bring this about.</p> more like this

We estimate there are tens of thousands of individuals fighting for the moderate opposition. We must not accept what Assad wants us to believe – that the only alternative to him is extremism and terrorists. The vast majority of Syrians want neither the tyrant nor the terrorists; they want a peaceful future, free from dictatorship.
