Syrian opposition chief Ghalioun resigns

The SNC was particularly criticised for not sufficiently coordinating with
activists inside the country, and for the strong influence wielded by
representatives of Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood.

Ghalioun’s re-election in Tuesday’s leadership contest, with 21 out of the 40
votes cast, was also criticised by activists for being decided by the
Brotherhood. It came despite SNC rules that require the chairman’s rotation
every three months.

Left-leaning and Arab nationalist in his thinking, Ghalioun was deemed
capable of representing a coalition composed of multiple tendencies,
including Islamists, nationalists, liberals and independents.

Most opposition forces agreed in March, after laborious negotiations, that
the SNC would be the “formal representative” of the Syrian people, despite
calls for its restructuring.
