The Syrian conflict takes centre stage at an Arab summit starting Tuesday in Kuwait, where a regional rift over Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has been kept off the agenda. The dispute which broke out in the runup to the summit pits Qatar against Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. With the focus on Syria, its opposition National Coalition (NC) head Ahmad al-Jarba is due to address Arab leaders at the opening session. But the NC will **t fill Syria's vacant seat -- which it was allocated at the last Arab summit held in Doha in 2013 -- because it has yet to meet the legal requirements, said Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi.
