Tribes in Syria pulling together too

From Akhbar al-Sharq (in Syria, via Memri):

Representatives from 55 Syrian Arab tribes have declared the establishment of a joint association called the "Party of the Nation."

A communiqué released by the party stated that it "will function democratically, together with the other opposition forces, to change Assad's criminal dictatorial regime."

I don't even think I have to comment here. (But I can't help myself: If this is true and they are true to their word, good for them.)
