“Some rebel groups are receiving supplies from Gulf states, and Western countries say they are giving non-lethal aid. But many rebels say they have not received anything.”
No…I am sure the gulf states are providing some light military supplies as the article indicates (3000 rounds of ammo per month). I can get that at my local gun shop today…
If the non-lethal aid comes in the form of sugar and fertilizer (ammonia nitrate), I am sure they will use whatever they can.
