This Week in Syria, Deeply
Dear Deeply Readers,
The long-awaited peace talks on Syria, known as Geneva II, now have a date: November
23, according to the head of the Arab League. The U.S., the U.N., and Russia wont yet
confirm it theyre still working out complicated details like who will attend, which voices
can credibly represent the disjointed set of players fighting against the Assad regime.
Much rests on the Syrian opposition how capable and cooperative theyll be in the lead
up to talks. The Syrian National Coalition, a political umbrella group, has operated in exile
and lacks for legitimacy on the ground. The International Crisis Group published a
powerful diagnostic of the opposition this week, detailing its weak spots and examining
what it would take to shape a lasting peace at the negotiating table.
Any viable resolution of the war will require emergence of a credibly representative
opposition, the Crisis Group wrote. [The Coalition] will need to dramatically bolster its
presence on the ground, opposition backers will have to streamline their assistance, and
all must develop a strategy to deal with the growing jihadi phenomenon.
If theres one untapped hope for Syria its the rise of the countrys civil society, scores of
Syrians banding together to push for peace, eke out a livelihood, and speak out against al-
Qaida. Their challenge is to be heard, amid all the noise of armed extremists and those
fighting for political power.
While they wait for any sign of impending stability, the fighting continues to accelerate.
This week, it was flashpoint Deir Ezzor, as fierce clashes raged in the wake of a rebel
sniper hit that killed one of Assads top generals. Its a reminder that while Assad hasreclaimed a lead in the balance of power, both sides are suffering a loss in the brutal war
of attrition.
