Abu Dhabi: The Syrian National Council (SNC) chief urged the body’s foreign allies to come to rescue Aleppo, insisting, “Our friends and allies will bear responsibility for what is happening in Aleppo if they do not move soon”.
Asked how the SNC’s allies could help, Abdelbasset Sida said they would have to act outside the United Nations Security Council because initiatives within the council could be vetoed, Reuters reported.
“Any action has to be from outside the Security Council through an Arab League initiative and through a resolution passed by the General Assembly,” he said, visiting the United Arab Emirates for talks with officials, told a news conference early on Sunday.
On Saturday, Syrian military helicopters pounded a rebel-held district of Aleppo and armoured units positioned themselves for an attack on Syria’s biggest city, opposition sources said.
