Syria rebels have made an extraordinary gains in the last 7 days. Taking over three major cities. It's worth to mention the rebels are listed as Terrorists even though they are mostly Syrians. If they move to Damascus and kick out Assad. The same thing can be expected in Mogadishu.
Assad is attacked simply because all his friends are busy with other wars. As we know the west is struggling with multiple shi,a militants. I think the West intelligence is bankrolling these Sunni offensive against the Assad regime to counter the Shia operations in Syria and else where.
