As the monitors monitor and opposition groups oppose, even themselves,
in Syria, the Assads and their loyalists keep killing and the protesters keep
protesting, and this remains the real story.
Tuesday 3, 2012
Today’s death toll: 23. The Breakdown: 11
in Hama City, 1 in Qamhaneh (Hama Province), 4 in Homs City, 3 in Idlib
Province, 2 in Rural Damascus, and 1 in Deraa/Hauran Province.
18 loyalists have reportedly been killed in overnight clashes
between loyalists and defectors on the highway connecting the towns of Jassem
and Ankhel in the Deraa/Hauran Province. Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. Riyad Al-Ass’aad
gave Arab League monitors days to bring the violence against civilians and
protesters under control, else he promised to unleash major new resistance
operations against loyalists.
The Executive Office of the Syrian National Council officially voted
to reject the proposed unity agreement with the National Coordinative
Body for Democratic Change, following the popular backlash against it by
protesters.
A previously unknown group calling itself “The Movement to Counter
the Shia Expansion in Syria” took
responsibility for the kidnapping of 5 Iranian engineers in Homs City back
in December 21, saying that the move comes a warning to both Iran and Hezbollah
to refrain from supporting the Assad regime. The announcement was made through
a fax sent to Agence France Press offices in Nicosia. There is no
independent confirmation of the existence of the group, the kidnapping itself has
only been reported
in Iranian press. However, claims that the engineers will be tortured to admit
that they are members of the IRCG seem meant as preemptive move. Protesters
have always have always asserted that the Iranian advisers were working closely
with loyalist Assad militias in orchestrating the crackdown.
Monday’s death toll was raised to 24.
The General Strike continues to be observed by protest communities
throughout the country.
