The Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces was formed just few days after electing George Sabra, the new chairman of the Syrian National Council (SNC) which represents the exiled Syrian opposition too.
Virtually, the core members of the SNC are also members of the Muslim brotherhood of Syria (i.e, twenty three SNC's members of the total fourty one members are related to Muslim brotherhood of Syria).
Ahmad Mo'az al-Khateeb had been appointed to occupy the chairman position of the Syrian Coalition for Opposition which is aimed to unite the disintegrated exiled Syrian opposition under single Umbrella.
The Syrian Coalition for Opposition worked to achieve an international recognition as In-exile Syrian Government, and both of the French and Qatari governments were so keen for this step.
In fact, The exiled Syrian opposition has no true popular base in Syria, however, they have scattered military wings which are totally independent and lack the serial leadership, whereas the common denominator among them is that they have almost the same sponsors alongside Arming suppliers, such as Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia side-by-side with some western governments.
For instance, Jabhat al-Nusra which is an Extremist Islamist Militia and converts the Ideology of Muslim brotherhood is supported by the Qatari Emir, whereas Jund al-Sham which is famous in suicide bombing, and converts the Salafist Ideology, and surely supported by the Royal family in saudi Arabia via Some Lebanese Allies.
Any close Observer can notice that there is no direct control over these Militias even by the SNC, since they separately work, but some control can be applied from some clerics such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi and Adnan al-Arur who reside and incubated by two oligarchic monarchies, Qatar and Saudi Arabia respectively.
Another serious defect affecting the exiled Syrian opposition is Selectivity and does not represent the whole Syrian community, for instance there is no dominant Alawite figure to resemble the Alawites of Syria and the same for the Durzi minority. Meanwhile, The syrian exiled opposition has never defined itself whether it is Secular-based or Religious-based groups, nevertheless, they always define their future's project by building "Civil State", but what kind of the civil state? Religious civil state? or Secular civil state?
In my opinion, The current exiled Syrian opposition is not more advanced than the current Ba'ath regime, on the contrary, the Syrian Ba'ath regime has specific ideology and project despite it is totalitarian and oppressive one.
I also think that the fate of the exiled Syrian opposition is totally dependent on the western will (i.e, When the western governments will decide political solution in Syria, The Syrian opposition will rush to guaranty the Parliamentary and Ministerial blocs regardless to The sacrifices of the Syrian people).
