US Secretary of State John Kerry said the time has come for Syria to transition from President Bashar al-Assad’s regime to a coalition government. Kerry’s comments were made during a visit by the president of the Syrian National Coalition for Revolutionary Forces and the Opposition, Syria’s main opposition group, in Washington.

“There must be a transition from the Assad regime towards a government that represents all the people and can repair this extraordinary damage to Syria, unite the country, protect all minorities, and provide a legitimate future,” said Kerry. Credit: Facebook/U.S. Department of State
