Voices about the Syrian Revolution

I have often thought about the horrendous situation currently unfolding in Syria.

There is a whole world of people striving to reveal what is currently happening in Syria despite the Assad regime's murderous frenzied attempts to silence and even murder those who dare to report what is happening.

Aside form mainstream media sources there are many outlets by revolutionary Syrians. Some of the more prominent sources may be seen in my previous post. Here are some more links of relevance:


Link. Douma Committee striving to advance the revolution in Syria.

Link. Intriguing article comparing the differences between the Syrian Revolution and the Lebanese Civil War.

We Are All Al Shadly. Facebook protest page calling for justice for a brave man who spoke his uncensored words to a Western reporter and paid for his brave act with his life.

Duma News Translation. Facebook page that translates news bulletins produced by Syrian revolutionaries.

FromSyrians.com. Syrian revolutionary website that translates news from Syria into English and other widely used languages.

TheNewSyria. Facebook profile of a Syrian revolutionary.

Map of Syrian refugees.

Shahed3yanFB. Syrian revolutionary's Youtube page. (Arabic.)

NMSyria. A Syrian revolutionary's Twitter profile.

Link. Another revolutionary's profile.

Link. (In Arabic.)

Assadite propaganda:

Link. Typical dehumanizing propaganda. This article accuses Syrian refugees of being terrorists. Demonstrating the blind "reasoning" worthy of any conspiracy theorist the article says that the reason Turkish authorities forbid journalists from taking photos in refugee camps is, wait for it, to hide that they are not refugees but terrorists.

Are the forces of Assad preparing to murder the refugees now?

While it may be reasonable to suppose some of those people might strive to work with the Free Syrian Army or try to help Syrians back home from where they are by sending them aid, but to pretend that they are not refugees but just terrorists is a disgusting slur upon them.

This only further expose the paranoid siege mentality that is gripping the Assad regime and making them deny reality and lash out viciously at anything that even remotely looks like a threat to them.

It is madness to deny that there are refugees there. The Assad regime is simply excusing itself of any obligation towards their own people that they cast out in their mad attempt to retain power no matter the cost in human lives.
