Syria Audio Analysis: Is Assad's Military Crumbling? --- Scott Lucas with Monocle 24
With Syria's Grand Mufti calling for universal conscription of young men amid insurgent gains, I spoke with Monocle 24's The Briefing on Wednesday about the state of the Syrian military and the current situation in the cities and countryside.
The discussion starts around the 8-minute mark in this pop-out window.
The take-away point? While President Assad's military may be under pressure and his position may be eroding, this is far from a final stage in the Syrian conflict.
