Syrian Minister of State for National Reconciliation

From Akram, Angry Arab correspondent in Syria:

"Ali Haidar, the Syrian Minister of State for National Reconciliation, held a meeting with civil, popular and religious activists in Lattakia. This man, apparently, enjoys playing the minister, a light role that only requires him to deliver empty speeches, hold nonsense meetings with ambassadors and foreign envoys and take nice photos.

Congratulations your excellency. You're very cute."

PS I should say that Ali Haidar has his supporters in the US and in Syria. Every time Akram takes a swipe at him, I receive angry complaints from readers.
