While Arab politicians struggle to formulate a
response or a proposal and the Syrian opposition to proffer a vision or a plan, the children
of Syria have no such trouble. They know exactly what the crisis is all about.
The Assads, in their words, need to “Fuck Off.”
Sunday October 16, 2011
9 people were killed by
pro-Assad militias in protests that took place throughout Syria. The dead
include 6 in Homs City (where 40 were also reported wounded), 2 in Khan
Shaikhoon in Idlib Province and 1 in the town of Zabadani in
Damascus Province. The death toll is
expected to mount as pro-Assad militias continue their attack on neighborhoods
in Homs City, towns in Homs Province (Teer Mallah and Ghanto), in Idlib
Province (Khan Shaikhoon), Deraa/Hauran Province (Harrah, Ankhel and Mseifrah)
and Damascus Province (Zabadani and Madaya).
Meanwhile, the Arab
League to reach consensus on freezing Syria’s membership, and ended its
extraordinary meeting by calling for dialog between the Assad regime and all
opposition groups. The League also announced the formation of a special
ministerial delegation to pay a visit to Damascus and carry message in person
to the Assad regime. The move is based on the Arab League Plan
calling for holding free presidential elections in 2014, a plan that was
rejected by the regime and most opposition groups. The position of the Syrian
National Council on this issue remains unclear as its spokesmen continue to
issue contradictory statements to the media.

The
confessions of a pro-Assad militiaman http://youtu.be/F_qiwDLBlyU The man has
been taken prisoner by members of the Obeidah Bin Al-Jarrah Brigade of the Free
Syrian Army operating in the larger Damascus Province in an
operation that took place near the town of Saqba. The militiaman says
that his patrol killed 4 unarmed protesters before being fired on by the
Brigade and he was captured. He admits that women are being raped in security
branches. He says that Brigadier General Abdussalam Rahmoun has given them
orders to shoot at protesters. Of course, the confession sounds rehearsed. The
important point behind this clip is the recurrence of such captures at this
stage, and the fact that the FSA is now operating in Damascus.
