Britain recognizes Syrian opposition coalition, pledges more support (2)

Hague also announced a new package of British support amounting to around 2 million pounds (3 million U.S. dollars) for the Syrian opposition, with a 1-million-pound package of "communications support" and the deployment of a "Stabilization Response Team" to the region to work with the Coalition.

"This comes on top of the training of citizen journalists, human rights advocates, doctors and Syrian activists that we have already provided, and the generators, communications equipment and water purification kits for unarmed opposition groups and civil society that I announced during the summer," the statement said.

The move makes Britain the second major Western power to recognize the Syrian National coalition. French President Francois Hollande announced last week that the country recognizes Syria's newly formed opposition coalition as representative of the Syrian people. (1 pound = 1.6 U.S. dollars)
