New initiative presented to solve unrest in Syria

The initiative asks both sides to allow relief establishments such as the Red Cross and Red Crescent to deliver medical aid and food stuff to the needy people.

Experts questioned that the committee is capable of convincing the so-called Free Syrian Army and other armed groups to commit to such an initiative and stop violence.

Nevertheless, the opposition body rejected any form of military intervention and said dialogue among all Syrians is the only solution for the unrest. The coordination committee also suggested that the UNSMIS supervises the implementation of their proposed initiative if agreed by all sides.

The Opposition national coordination committee's initiative aims at setting a suitable atmosphere for starting a political process with dialogue between the opposition and the government as a basic element of this process.
