From 2013 - Indications
of how Germany has contributed to its own refugee crisis
Germany
renews support for Syrian rebels
29
May, 2013
The
German government will be renewing and stepping up its support for
the Syrian rebels in the fight against President Bashar al-Assad,
according to a report in Der Spiegel magazine due to be published on
Monday.
Angela
Merkel's government is preparing to send medical supplies and several
hundred bulletproof vests to the rebel fighters of the Free Syrian
Army (FSA), said the magazine.
The
German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) is set to resume deliveries
of emergency supplies, so-called “Medipacks,” to the FSA, just
months after a veto by the German Foreign Office forced them to stop,
wrote the magazine.
Germany
is now in final negotiations with the rebels to organise deliveries
of the supplies, and hopes to get in exchange information on the
military situation in Syria.
Germany
will not, however, go as far as the UK and France which have recently
indicated they wish to help arm the rebels with weapons.
