Syria’s opposition leader has urged leaders at the Arab League Summit to give Syria’s empty seat to his Syrian National Coalition (SNC).<br /><br />Ahmad Al-Jarba was speaking at the meeting in Kuwait on Tuesday. He said leaving Syria’s seat empty sends the wrong message to President Bashar Al-Assad, that it is waiting for him until the battle is over.<br /><br />“I am not calling on you (Arab states) to declare any war, but to support our case and find a solution that guarantees our country and its interests, and the interest of the entire Arab world,” said Al-Jarba.<br /><br />“We would like you to announce that you will defend the Syrian people, who are facing one of the most horrible wars targeting unarmed people,” the SNC leader added.<br /><br />Syria’s war entered its fourth year this month. 140,000 people have died in the conflict and millions have been forced to flee.<br /><br />The summit is expected to agree on more humanitarian action in Syria, as well as discuss other regional challenges.
