Opposition wants at least three safe passages for Syria aid
GENEVA |
GENEVA (Reuters) - The main opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) wants a minimum of 3 points of safe passage for life-saving aid supplies to enter Syria, a senior SNC official said on Wednesday.
Basma Kodmani, speaking to reporters after talks at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), called for Russia to put pressure on the government of President Bashar al-Assad to agree to the humanitarian initiative.
"If we have a commitment from the regime with Russian guarantees that will allow humanitarian assistance to be brought in through those safe passages, we are asking for 3 safe passages at least - from Lebanon into Homs, from Jordan into Deraa and Turkey into Idlib," she told reporters in Geneva.

There is always a presumption on the part of the Muslim Brothers that the world is and would do exactly what their god dictates… They even predicted that the Russian and Chinese would come round to dispatch NATO troops to Syria.
The dream continues with such preposterous presumptions that anybody other than the Syrian Army would be in charge of the corridors to transfer humanitarian needs for 2 hours every day, under a ceasefire to which the armed bandits would need to observe, is ‘talking to god’ again!
