When I read the piece of Aron Lund, ‘the FSA doesn’t exist'. I was utterly surprised. Of course the FSA does exist. And it is changing rapidly.Over the last few months, the FSA has transformed itself from a loose structure into a functioning organization. In fact, what Lund describes is an era of the FSA that no longer exists. It ignores the developments of the last several months and the present reality on the ground.
Last month, I visited Northern Syria three times with the Free Syrian
Army (FSA). I spoke to many generals who had defected from the Syrian Army, to commanders on
the ground,to people in the headquarters of the FSA and
to military-civilian organizers of humanitarian aid of all parts of
Syria. I also spent many hours with Dr. Brigadier General Salim
Idriss, Chief of Staff of the FSA; I was in the middle of a battle
at Quweris airport, then one of the main front lines.
