Ahmad Jarba and the Syrian Opposition Council's Diplomatic Status
The U.S. State Department granted enhanced diplomatic status to the Syrian Opposition Council (SOC) and its leader, Ahmad Jarba. Despite being referred to as "President Jarba" in media interviews, his influence is questioned as rebel forces withdraw from Homs. The U.S. policy in Syria, led by John Kerry, is described as a failure that has allowed Russia to secure its interests in the region.
