Ibrahim al-Assil speaking to Becky Anderson on Syria's national dialogue

"Sanctions are designed to make every day worse than the day before. So while the Assad regime has fallen, things in Syria are still getting worse economically. We see more steps on the European side to lift or at least waive many of the sanctions. The US is still very hesitant to do that, which actually may exacerbate the problems inside Syria," MEI's Ibrahim Al-Assil tells CNN.
