News
Op-Eds & Special Reports
At a time when pro-Assad troops and death squads are busy pounding towns
and villages all over the country, the country’s Minister of Economy (note: I had earlier said Interior, which was a mistake of course), a George
Washington University Alumnus, Nedal Alchaar, was busy putting the final
touches on his villa in Aleppo City. Work was “finally” done, to use his own
words, and he posted pictures of the villa on his Facebook page earlier
yesterday, before he removed it when people began chatting about it on the net.
Too late. It’s this kind of impunity by Assad officials that paved the way to the
revolution. It’s this kind of impunity that will continue to fuel it, until the
whole regime is brought down.

The bravery of these citizen journalists cannot be overstated. Here is one

for pounding the city http://youtu.be/V6-7TjEMP6Q
