Syria: Why Khaddam?

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Syria

AfterKhaddam [1] shacked the earth under Syrians [2], Aleppous [3] wonders, why would a man who for the past 40 years served his country loyally, occupying two of the most important jobs – foreign affairs and the vice-presidency — suddenly turn on his country [4]?
Ammar says, despite its sensationalist nature, we really should not read too much into Khaddam’s recent “act of apostasy.” His was a strong jab for his age, but it will not be a knockout blow by a long shot [5].
