Rime Allaf - Presidential Adviser, Syrian National Coalition
Shaun Ley discusses the shifting fortunes of combatants in Syria's civil war with adviser to the National Coalition of Syrian Revolution and Opposition Forces, Rime Allaf.
It must have looked like a position of great influence - 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 though Assad is so confident he's 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, not for the President, but for the opposition?
