According to Rim Turkmani, Syrian researcher and head of the Syrian Civil Coalition (TAMAS), the Syrian divisions, the collapse of state institutions, the spread of violence and the deteriorating economic situation enabled the spread of al-Qaeda groups in Syria. She told Al-Monitor by phone from London, “Facing these groups should begin by pushing for a political solution that enjoys international consensus and allows coordination between the conflicting Syrian armed parties. None of these parties can eliminate IS alone and therefore, the comprehensive strategy that Obama talked about is not comprehensive at all since Syrians have no role in it other than fighting on the ground [to protect] the US’ own interest.” al-monitor/pulse/originals/2014/09/obama-speech-syria-opposition-reactions-regime.html
