Violations Galore!

As Assad violates Annan’s Plan, and Annan violates decency, the Syrian people feel doubly violated!


While all eyes were fixated on Homs, Idlib, Aleppo and Damascus, major clashes have been taking place in Deir Ezzor Province, where local resistance leaders have been taking advantage of the vast desert expanses to conduct an effective Guerrilla warfare. Indeed, today, the leader of the Jaafar Brigade declared that his troops control over 70% of the province http://youtu.be/aQqT9csADFU But the commander also declares that his brigade will abide by the ceasefire agreement, but reserves the right to defend the communities under their protection.

 Someone should tell Mr. Kofi Annan to pick better dinner companions. This kind of old-style diplomacy will not endear him to the side that really matters in this: the revolutionaries (Picture date April 4, 2012. Anna’s companions include, Assad’s spokeswoman, his FM and the Deputy FM)
