With over 720 rallies taking place all over the country, peaceful protesters
made a much awaited comeback indicating that the revolution has not lost any
steam and that the desire to overthrow the regime is as strong as ever. But, with
13 killed despite the ceasefire, the Assads’ appetite for bloodshed and their
willingness to hold on to power at any cost does not seem to have diminished. The
world watches on, while we soldier on.

720 anti-Assad rallies took place in Syria on Friday, including 154
rallies in Idlib, 117 in Hama, 110 in Damascus and suburbs, and 84 in Aleppo. Meanwhile,
and despite the ceasefire, the pounding of Homs neighborhoods resumed, and
Assad loyalist troops killed 13 protesters all through the country when they
opened fire on rallies. It’s back to Square One for both sides.
