The Syrian Revolution started when a group of kids in
their early teens wrote anti-Assad graffiti on walls throughout the City of
Deraa. 7 months into the Revolution, Syria’s kids are still its main
protagonists. They don’t want to have their teeth set on edge forever I guess.
Out of the
mouths of babes: Whose blood is this on my school chair? (Jabal Al-Zawiyeh)
Monday October 17, 2011
27 residents are killed
in the neighborhoods of Bab Sibaa in Homs City as loyalist militias
storm the restive neighborhood, 6 more died in separate crackdowns in Idlib (Sarmeen)
and Hama (Kafar Zita) Provinces. Meanwhile, clashes between defectors
and loyalists left 7 loyalists dead near the town of Qseir in Homs
Province, 4 dead near Ihsem Village in the Idlib Province when a bomb
planted by defectors detonated on the main road as a loyalist convoy passed by,
and 17 wounded near the village of Heesh also in the Idlib Province. The
Free Syrian Army also claims mounting a successful operation near the town
of Nasseeb in the Deraa/Hauran Province killing 5 loyalist officers: http://youtu.be/yJ-1BE3rIyY.
Meanwhile, Assad
officials rejected the newest initiative by Arab League. Opposition groups
acting under the umbrella of the Syrian National Council has issued conflicting
statements in this regard, but most opposition figures and groups outside the
SNC have been adamant in their rejection of the initiative and of any dialog
with the Assad regime as long as the Assads are still in charge.
