- 12 years ago
Riyad Hijab, the former Syrian prime minister, speaking to the press for the first time since his defection, has called the government of Bashar al-Assad an "enemy of God".
Speaking at a news conference in the Jordanian capital, Hijab said he defected to the 17-month-long opposition movement through his own volition and that reports of his dismissal by Syrian authorities were inaccurate.
