It must have looked like a position of great influence in the new
post-war Syria - Presidential Adviser to the National Coalition
of Syrian Revolution and Opposition Forces - the government in
exile planning to drive President Assad from power. Hardtalk
speaks to Rime Allaf, who took on that role after a distinguished
career in international think tanks. Now, Assad is so confident
he is running for re-election, the coalition’s forces are
enduring defeats on the ground and important Western allies are
getting nervous – seemingly more worried about the hard-line
Islamists gaining a foothold in Syria than they are about Assad
himself. Is time running out for the opposition?
