FSA Claims Majority of Syria, Whilst The NCB Calls For a Cease Fire

Just a day after announcing that they had returned to the country, the leadership of the Free Syrian Army claimed that the majority of Syria is now under their control.

They also claimed that the only thing keeping them from full victory was the government's air power.

Meanwhile, political opposition groups held a meeting, inside Damascus, as a way to show that there is a way other than armed revolution.

Sixteen groups sent members to attend the meeting, calling themselves the National Coordination Body for Democratic Change in Syria, and ambassadors from Russia and Iran were also present.

The presence of the foreign powers suggests that President Assad allowed for the meeting to occur, to try and show himself as a man willing to hear what others have to say.

NCB opposes armed conflict and wants to see a peaceful resolution to the civil war.

After the meeting, they issued a statement calling for an immediate cease fire.
