The War No One Wants To See!

Every day a new massacre takes pace in Syria, and every day world leaders have to find excuses for their failure to act. But the massacres will not go away, nor will their perpetrators, unless these leaders take a firm stand. It’s time to stop the massacres in Syria and put an end to Assad’s rule of terror.

Monday October 24, 2011

15 protesters were killed in the continuing crackdown led by pro-Assad militias against unarmed protesters. 9 fell in Homs City, and 6, including 2 women in Idlib Province. Meanwhile, dozens of arrests were made in various suburbs of Damascus. In Houleh in Homs Province, eyewitnesses reported that defectors and loyalists clash leaving 5 defectors and 1 loyalist dead.

This digest is now a war chronicle.

This digest is now a daily condemnation of the hypocrisy of world leaders who hide behind technicalities to justify their inaction, and the impotence and moral cowardice of opposition movements and figures that hide behind worn-out ideologies to justify theirs.

This digest is now a daily mourning for the thousands of martyrs offered by our people for the sake of freedom.  

This digest is now a daily affirmation of the fact that we will never give up. Never.

In Deraa city, capital of the agricultural province, businesses across the city were closed for the fourth day. In the town of al-Hirak to the east, the strike picked up steam in the last two days, activists said. "This strike is intensifying every day as more businesses shut and people become more defiant than ever angered by the increasing brutality and daily roundups and arrests," said one Deraa resident who gave his name as Abu Abdullah. With troops concentrating on urban centers, protests have expanded in rural regions, including some areas which were once bedrocks of Sunni support for Assad and are seeing defections from the military and armed resistance.

People at the Deraa/Hauran Province have managed to observe a call for general strike for close to a week now, and the trend seems to be picking up steam.
