The announcement of the formation of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the presence of seven defecting officers:<\/p>\n

Some observations on the the officers appearing in this video:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First: Their uniform tells that they are either special forces or Republican guards. If so, the prediction that Qasha3ami made in his last video, that I linked was true.<\/li>\n
  2. Second: The name of the appointed acting commander in chief tells that he is very likely a 3alawi officer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    [J.L. As`ad can be both an Alawi or Sunni name. There is no indication that the commander is Alawi by his name or his accent. If I had to guess, at the end, he slipped with one word in colloquial that gives away that he is Homsi. When he pronounced the name of al-Naqiib Ayham al-Kurdi, he said “al-Kurdeh” with a “dummeh”on the “K” instead of a kasra and a long mimicking “eeeeh” at the end instead of a “yah”.\u00a0 This tells us nothing about his religion, as Alawis live in Homs alongside the Sunni majority and Christian minority. ]<\/p>\n

    1. Third: here is a summary of the announcement:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
