"He is leading a Syrian opposition fighting Bashar Al-Assadآ’s regime, ISIL and Islamic extremism, while protecting and serving ordinary Syrians in very challenging conditions", he said.
Hammond added that his country is helping the opposition establish security and governance and to dliver essential services including life-saving search and rescu training and "helping syrians whose homes have been reduced to rubble by the regimeآ’s bombs." "This complements wider international efforts to strengthen the moderate armed opposition.
