Syria’s opposition on 28 May denounced as “too little, too late” an EU decision to lift an arms embargo on rebels fighting the regime of President Bashar Assad. “Definitely it is a positive step, but we are afraid it could be too little, too late,” Louay Safi, spokesman for Syria’s main opposition National Coalition, told reporters. The European Union agreed 28 May to lift its embargo against arming Syria’s rebels, but no member state intends to send any arms in the coming months for fear of endangering a US-Russian peace initiative dubbed Geneva 2.
