Stories and Images from Syria

It seems the focus of attention is now focused more on Aleppo as opposed to Damascus. Today I looked at a map of Syria and saw Aleppo near the Turkish border and I just thought Aleppo shall be taken. It is closer to people friendly (or at least tolerant) to Syrian revolutionaries.

Here's hoping this dark time of violence will soon end for the long suffering Syrian people.

Protest in Al Mezzeh, Damascus, on 20 July, 2012.

Link. Protest in Saraqib, Idlib on 22 July, 2012. With all the talk about the military moves made by the Assad regime's forces and the Free Syrian Army and other revolutionary forces one can forget that it is these brave protesters who first sparked the cry for justice and freedom.

Concerning Assadite propaganda I heard that SANA, the Assad regime mouthpiece, no longer provide figures for how many of their forces are being killed. A sign of just how much this conflict has escalated. How did Bashar al-Assad mess up this situation so badly? There no such armed opposition at all before March 2011, and even for several months afterwards, the Assad regime's slanderous lies against peaceful protesters notwithstanding.
