Syrian Revolution Statistics

Watching Globe Trekker on my cable tv, exploring Syria's most famous sites and cities, including what Aleppo was. Incredibly beautiful, exciting and full of character. How so very sad the state it is in now. :0)

Yes shmashoom,

as i said this post is old and i posted the latest in the last comment.

refugees in Jordan are more than 200,000 now. not 5,600+

Screaming Bee...

this is an old post

kindly find the updates for now:

http://syrianshuhada.com/?lang=en&

The number of documented martyrs is 33933

in 561 days up to 28/9/2012

THIS IS WHAT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED :(

18k+ was July 2012, a few months ago. Things have gotten so much worse ... http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/09/28/240651.html

"... Over 30,000 people have been killed in Syria since the outbreak of the revolt, according to the Observatory while the U.N. puts the death toll at 20,000."

Syrians killed: 18,065 ??

Are you kidding me?

After a frustrating week at the UN General Assembly, HRH the Emir calls for armed intervention in Syria to halt conflict.

http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/09/25/240174.html

"... The emir cited the precedent of an Arab intervention force sent to Lebanon in the 1970s in a bid to halt that country’s civil war. He called the Arab League-backed operation in 1976 “a step that proved to be effective and useful.”

/Makes one re-think joining the UN...

APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) 2012 hosted by Russia which was a gathering of world leaders just concluded recently, still sees deep differences over how to handle the crisis in Syria :0(

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I5wPelHN8I&feature=youtu.be

these pictures have been captured by local journalist in syria, one of the most rare pictures in war conflicts.

Breaking News :

the rejime in syria attacked the water supply station in aleppo and there is no water in the city and now more than 5 million syrians are facing the threat to die by thirst.

As you persevere, we continue to pray and hope that the beautiful and bright future Syria deserves, comes soon. Tc.

A little bit tired,i think because i carry a great country on my skinny shoulders,but i can see the beautiful & bright future, and it deserves every moment i spend on.

We closed this day at 263 civilians dead

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-syrias-road-from-jihad-to-prison-8100749.html

an article by robert fisk showing how the syrian prisons are amazing,but when they asked him about films he refused.

my question is why they are trying all this best to make it looks like an islamic revolution, and to be honest what is wrong with that?

i know a lot of good chirstian brothers in my country who gave their souls for our freedom. and no one is allowed to waste their souls just to save their agenda and to feed their fear.

Mohammad Al-khateeb , Died today in Daraya , Damascus.

he is one of 120 died today.

There's another major problem in Aleppo - the threats of disease as garbage trucks, save for a few brave ones, do not go in to the city to clear the rubbish any more due to the dangers and as such, the people are suffering even more.

Will check for the link to the news which I viewed this morning and will post later.

Can I just ask how big the FSA is ? What percentage of the population ?

we hope so , but why till now the FSA didn't receive the anti-airplanes weapons even it has declared in media since 1 month back and we know that planes are causing a lot of damage to civilians and cities,plus the free army said they didn't receive any money,plus 15 days ago a toddler died of hunger in Homs,plus in Al-Za'atari camp in jordan 2 kids (months in ages) dies of bad enviroment.

.

.

these are most of the aspects that people out syria can do for harmed syrians, what i am trying to say is what a lot of syrians in & out are feeling these days.

.

.

and i want to clear a point here, they don't blame "the people " who really donated supported and felt the pain of syrians but they blame governments who try to delay it as much as it can so it will end a destroyed powerless country in the area except few arab governments.

Perhaps there's some hope with NAM with Iran commencing its 3 year presidency? Any window of opportunity should be seriously considered and proactive, committed action taken for the sake of the Syrian people. Qatar had a hand in helping to soothe ruffled feathers in Sunday's talks, hope the disagreements can be ironed out.

http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/8/27/business/20120827082505&sec=business

"... Iran expected to consult with countries on the sidelines of the summit on a "comprehensive package" to resolve the Syria crisis.

In a possible sign of things to come, a senior official presiding over Sunday's talks, Mohammad Mehdi Akhundzadeh, indicated discussions had thrown up disagreements but that Iran and Qatar had helped to resolve differences of opinion, Fars news agency said..."

/Btw, while NAM was set up to counter big power domination of international relations, but hope that the powers that be remember that we are not here to compete with each other to be numero uno but should collaborate for the greater good.

UK, USA, Qatar and Saudi are already providing support to the FSA.

Will Syria go the same way as Libya - Let us wait and see.

Very distressing that things are getting worse in Syria everyday. Heards news from CNN about the medical personnel who are being killed too. Our thoughts and prayers are with the innocent women and children in Syria. Hope whatever we have donated (and continue to donate what we can) to the Syrian Relief Funds via Qatar Charity and Qatar Red Crescent brings some small relief to them.

30 years back syrians suffered the same of what happening now.

parents told their children of scary stories happened before.

Now it is repeating and in all syria again but we felt it could be different because there is media and people will watch and they will not allow these things to happen.

UK now is "Concerned" of what happened in Dariya

and then u will see a lot of political statements to absorb the thing until people forget exactly like what happened in al-hoola.

Eagley... whole families have been murdered father mother and children with cold blood.

i can't post anything pictures are more brutal than anything i saw in my life.

it is repeating of what happened in Al-Hoola, sahnaia, aleppo, daraa,alhrak,derzzoor,and never forgetting Homs.

Terrible. Saw the reports on the news about Daraya.

And the doctors, nurses and medical personnel helping the injured in the hospitals are prime targets as the regime is cuttng off the people's lifelines wherever possible :0(

i don't know what to say or to post anymore.

Killing More than 500 yesterday in Daraya some with knives others by guns, old men,young men,woemen , children from all ages and when i say all ages i mean months to years.

all what i see now is black Future for our species , and i am trying to avoid the word HUMAN before saying the word being.

:'(

not only that, i think they have hands in the bombing in Gazi Intaab to involve turkey in it

TFS, One Shot. She said all those things in 2009 because it suited her to do so at that time, appearing to be socially responsible First Lady and "as a human and as a mother". It's all just fluff that politicians spew to gain support. But these past 17 months have shown her true colours, as actions (or lack thereof) always speak louder than mere words.

Btw, the violence is spilling into Lebanon as well with supporters and opponents of Assad taking it out on each other in the northern city of Tripoli.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503543_162-57497963-503543/syrias-civil-war-claims-10-more-lives-in-lebanon-as-sectarian-strife-continues-to-spread/

&feature=youtu.be

nice report about wife of Asad

Actually I would slightly disagree. Getting UN approval is unlikely as you say as the Russians and Chinese would shoot it down. However Turkey is a NATO country and already has a US airforce base, plus flights could be run from Qatar and other European countries easily. The sir defences of Syria would be a bit more difficult to roll over than say Libya but a couple of ships bashing installations with cruise missiles would take care of that

It would be good to have a no fly zone over Syria now but that would not happen anytime soon as it really takes a long time to set up no fly zones over Syria, a sovereign country (just like in Libya). First, they have to get UN Security Council to pass a resolution or else the no fly zone could be regarded as illegal. This resolution would most likely be shot down by Russia and China (both using veto powers). Secondly, they would have to get permission to set up bases or to use bases (in neighbouring countries to Syria), coordinate supplies and start dealing with the complexity of integrating the joint multinational forces to enforce a no fly zone over Syria. In the meantime, other than moral support here for the Syrian people and the refugees from this war, I'm sure donations to Qatar Charity or Qatar Red Crescent funds for Syrian relief to provide food, medicine and other living essentials would be highly appreciated.

This update? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/11/syria-us-turkey-no-fly-zones

"The imposition of no-fly zones by foreign powers were crucial in helping Libyan rebels overthrow Muammar Gaddafi last year. But until recently the international community has been reluctant to take an overt military role in Syria's 17-month-old conflict".

But not yet, they are only setting up a working group to handle the "intense analysis and operational planning" ...

Usa & turkey

Are we seeing the end of the crisis here?

Thanks eagley

No one is safe

They are ready for evacuating in case it went wrong in our neighborhood

Some days i cant sleep but i pray all the time for their safety

And the problem i cant ask them to leave since is leaving is more dangerous than staying at home right now

"plus my family who keep updating me with the bombing and fire which they can see on the other part of aleppo"

This would be first hand information and the most credible of all.

How worrying, One shot. We hope your family stays safe.

Eagely

i read this news earlier on my arabic updates in facebook and from my friends but i didn't want to post it until i make sure of it.

i agree with you, me too i don't watch only one chanel but regarding al-jazeera i listen to their reporter Ahmad Zedan because he is now in salaheddin moving with the free army.

plus my family who keep updating me with the bombing and fire which they can see on the other part of aleppo

Update on Al-Jazeera - the rebel fighters reloaded whatever ammo they could and they are back in battle/defence at Salaheddin.

one_shot said, "and all what spread in the news that some countries are supporting is false"

- Some more misinformation from Assad to try and lend credence to his justification of the crackdown on dissent? :0( ... Like most tyrants in self-denial, he doesn't realize that the truth is staring at him in the face. The lines are all too fudged though, thus he has a chance of weaseling around.

/Btw, One Shot, I'm not in the West but I was just flipping through a few English reports and updates on the internet for more information, other than watching Al-Jazeera on my cable tv at home after work.

The pictures coming out and this is from a varied number of news providers so they cannot all be working to a western back conspiracy are awful. Kids dying on the floors of hospitals, people in pieces, women screaming for help for their kids.

So to those people who think its a conspiracy against the Syrian govt, should realise that Assad is using tanks and jets against cities and villages. Over wheeling firepower to take out some people with rifles and maybe RPGs if they are lucky.

If the FSA get air support they could do a Libya and roll the govt back. If that did happen you would also see more defections as they would know the game is up.

thanks for your feelings Moza, and it is good to know that there is people like you really care.

FSA declared that they need amo to survive and that's conflict of what spreading in the media that some countries like USA or Turkey are helping especially for a battle like this in aleppo.

One shot, sad to say most of the world doesn't really care. In fact on QL as a microcosm of society would rather argue about Asian merchants ripping off westerners, than about people dying at the hands of their own govt.

I for one hope the illicit support the FSA is getting makes a difference soon and they can overthrow the govt.

and all what spread in the news that some countries are supporting is false.

ALeppo people are running in the streets away because they know the military will make a huge mascaras as a revenge of what happened in the past 21 days in aleppo.

Al-jazeera reporter : the free army retreated from Salah-eddin Avenue due to lack of amo some of them attack with 20 bullets.

Thanks for your posts.

it gives me an idea of what the west says since most of my readings is in arabic and from the internet.

TFS, One Shot. Read that this morning in the newspapers at my end.

Also, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/06/syria-prime-minister-confirms-defection?newsfeed=true

"... Syria's prime minister is not a position of enormous importance: ministers are appointed by the president and are expected to do his bidding. Real power remains with Assad and the coterie of security chiefs and relatives who surround him..."

- A significant defection which makes a clear stand.

Breaking Newssssssss:

the prime minister separated for the system and reached Jordan Yesterday

Thanks...

Aieeee! The Mod(s) speaketh... :-0

And "“The killing will not stop when Assad falls,” he shouts. “We will kill all those who stood by the regime—and not just Syrians.” :-0 again...

Does this mean people who look like Russians and Chinese are in danger of being mistakenly assumed to be affliated to the supporters of Assad? Hmm...

One has to bring a little bit of drama into this, strike some fear into the public, so they support future actions. Same old play.

Moza

I think this is what present the fear of the west beside rehanli city is a turkish city not a syrian one and a lot of refugees went there and living in tent

I think this reporter never visit this place and he didnt meet the people there

And having bombs under his seats is exagurating because i dont think the turkish government will allow such a thing

And the fear by some westerners to involve is because the fear of muslims to rule their

But wait a minute imagine a reporter in the middle east saying: and this bearded priest claims that rome must be ruled by cristians and most people in rome want that

:)

Oh dear a respected publication is talking about the attraction in Syria for Islamic terrorists that want to impose their version of sharia law after the fall of Assad. All they will bring is death and destruction, torture, mutilation and summary executions.

Please don't delete this post because of many reasons:

This post didnt sttack any Qler by himsel

This argument was more like discussion than a debate

There is no fight between Qlers in it which slso an issue not related to the post itself

This post didnt pirate any QL rules as i think

A lot of topics are not related to qatar and i think this topic is really related to qatar for the effort that they are do to help civilians and refugees and to end the crisis

.

.

And in the name of humanity dont delete it , it has only one purpose is to share the awareness of what my people are suffering these days

________________________

Noted. Mod

That is too simplistic. They used this to create the right situations for the changes.

Disagree BE, all the major powers have an interest in the outcome but this was not instigated by them. This all stems from one man setting himself on fire I. Tunisia and the people realising they could get rid if these dictators.

Syria is just a stepping stone in the overall scheme of things. It is a game of chess being played by the major powers and the pawns are the Syrian people.

Pakistan. That must be where the Mods are from, as anything that can be percieved as negative about that country is deleted.

Dear Mods, please delete this post. It is irrelevant for QL. Let's see, how biased you are.

Following from my earlier post today before I got interrupted - the SNC representative, Mr. Louay Safi was very calm and collected in his answers and quite impressive in his ability to get his point across succinctly. He did say that the Russian claim in pushing for a negotiated settlement doesn't quite hold water as it clearly supported Assad in the UNSC and constant supply of weapons to Assad's forces also indicates otherwise. He hopes that Russia will re-calculate.

Mr. Louay also made it clear that the revolution started out as only a peaceful call for reform, not regime change. It escalated into what it is now and it is still not a level playing field.

Hope and prayers for the Syrian people, that resolution of the conflict will come swiftly, for the sake of innocent lives.

Just viewed "Inside Syria", hosted by Mike Hanna. No link as not yet on the web.

The Russian political analyst, Dimitri Babich, had some interesting points to make:-

a) Russia wrote off Syria's debt of 11 bil (USD?) 3-4 years ago. So he says that they have no $$ to gain from supporting Assad

(- but it's quite obvious that they will try to recover a part of that 11bil)

b) Opposition so fragmented that even if Assad leaves, there will be no guarantee that minority interests eg. Alawite, will be not ridden roughshod over

(-not his words, but a good point, looking at the state of disarray that the opposition is in. And having Brig Gen Manaf Tlas as unifier - will that work? Since he was a close friend of Assad and son of former Defence Munister - while strategically, he will have the relevant intangible knowledge of the situation on the ground and insider information, but what if his loyalty actually lies with Assad?)

I wish the best for the Syrian people and hope they get rid of assad and his thugs soon. The Syrian people could achieve great things if they get their freedom.

moza

to be honest , i don't know the future but the point i am trying to reach is that the first word the system said was a sectarian war when the revolution started in daraa only.

because his people is minority,he even enforced some alawii people to join their crimes by kidnaping their daughters for couple of days ( these stories has been recorded 1 year & 3 months back in Homs.

at the same time (fadwa soliman-actress) from the alawi people ,she joined the revolution and demonstration in Homs but sadley she disappeared and we believe that system threatened her and her family if she didn't stop.

The Iraqis didn't want sectarian and tribal violence but they got it. In the instability created these people see a chance to cause mayhem. I sincelry hope I'm wrong.

http://www.lebanese-forces.com/web/MoreNews.aspx?newsid=230929

please find this link above too

it is an Iftar organized in one of the oldest churches in the world Yabrood in syria.

these muslims have been invited by their christian brothers . there is no islamic or christian movement here .

it is simply a revolution to gain freedom & dignity against a dick-tator killing his own people.

since ur concern about these islamic people are instead of asad

please have good time to look to this link below it is more accurate than al-jazeera more believable than RT

http://syrianshuhada.com/default.asp?lang=en&a=st&st=1

Islamic terrorists are going to use it as their next killing ground. Pity the poor people of Syria. A people's revolution could be diverted by those who want power and to oppress people using religion as their weapon of choice. Similar to what is happening in northern Mali where an Islamic terrorist group managed to ge hold of weapons from Libya when that fell apart.

Thanks for your concern and prayers

These people are the alternative to Assad?

http://www.rt.com/news/syrian-host-saeed-executed-868/

One shot, I hope you and your family can stay safe. Hopefully all this will be over soon.

I'm afraid you are right BE. KSA, Qatar lining up on one side, with Russia and also Iran, Lebabnon and Turkey fighting for influence. Chuck in the US as well and it's going to be one huge mess.

The only thing that is certain is that many more people will die and most of QL would rather argue about female atheletes at the Olympics that be interested in this boring topic...

And with such a dysfunctional opposition, even if they get rid of Assad things will only get worse.

Too many vested interests. What started out as a freedom fight is turning into a proxy war involving many external entities.

From a neutral obsever point of view it looks like it is turning into a nasty civil war. Yes Assad started the violence and is not afraid to punish and torture his opponenets it seems the rebels are also carrying out revenge attacks. Nothing good will come out of this.

I hope nobody is making up their opinion based on coverage by Al Jazeera.

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/08/02/breaking_the_arab_news?page=0,0

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/04/us-syria-crisis-qatar-idUSBRE87301H20120804

"(Reuters) - Qatar said on Saturday that any successor to Kofi Annan as international envoy for Syria must pursue a new strategy because of what it said was the failure of Annan's six-point peace plan.

There must be a clear modification to this plan now because the issue of the six points is finished," Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani said. "None of them has been implemented."

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/8/4/reutersworld/1208040856-un-assembly-hits-out-at-security-counci&sec=reutersworld

"... Saudi Arabia dropped demands in the motion calling for Assad to stand down and sanctions against his government because of opposition from countries including India, Brazil and South Africa, diplomats said."

- Even India and South Africa support BA remaining in power.

"... a proxy war, with regional and international players arming one side or the other... Now, with the situation having worsened, they must again find common ground. The immediate interests of the Syrian people must be paramount over any larger rivalries of influence."

- Hope and pray they find that common ground and fast ... before further collateral damage to innocent lives!

Al Jazeera also reported this and showed Russia's UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin blasting the resolution, saying it gave "blatant" support to Syrian rebels and that its backers were the countries providing "mercenaries and arms" to the opposition"

- Isn't this twisting things around? The opposition had no weapons to fight with in the beginning. All diplomatic motions were gone through prior to finally doing what was necessary, as the opposition had nothing much to defend themselves with.

Come to think of it, China, Russia, Catholic church and any other authoritarian regime use the same tactics to suppress any dissent but I guess it happens everywhere in the world, to a lesser or greater degree, that's all.

/No offense to China, Russia, Catholic church or any other authoritarian regime, surely they verily believe in the correctness of their decisions.

Update: Kofi Annan has resigned in frustration over the stalemate in the UNSC, led by Russia and China stonewalling. :0(

He'll still be around for a few weeks to try and ensure smooth handover to his successor but ...

Anyway, this report quotes Annan as saying that this time, both parties are at fault ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2012/aug/03/kofi-annan-syria-fault?newsfeed=true

wow from his town?

and he is here in qatar????

He comes from the same town as Assad and his family so I put it down to that....

:) hehehe

he is a pro-government and i challenge him to prove the opposite .

i have a lot of friends who had the same idea and when it reached alleppo city they changed their opinions because their houses bombed by the military.

we have a colleage in the company was toooooooo much progovernment then he suddenly changed .

when we asked about that we knew that his cosin was shot by sniper in damascus , and his house was stolen by the military.

these people you are talking about are very selfish and they will not care until it reaches their families or houses.

I hope what you say is true as Syria is a mess now. I'm hoping for a swift end but I don't see it, this could drag on for a long time. Speaking to a Syria I know he claimed it was all lies spread by the west, (of course it is!) and that everything is fine there.

and believe it moza what broadcasted in media is different from the videos i saw in the internet.

the ethics of a lot of the free army was as expected

the free army after they won the battle they arrange a free and safe path to the women and children to go out from the area of Barri Tribe because they expected that the regime will get crazy and bomb the area by jet planes.

another video i saw , showing the rebels entered a house of one of these "Shabeeha" and they didn't steel anything but they start braking all the pictures of bashar asad inside the house and when they reached the bed room they found a personal picture belongs to the guy with his family and the camera man shouted "hide it , leave it "

i don't know if you are arab or not but if you are u will understand that such a behavior reflect noblesse and manners.

they found also around 130 Kg of meet and they spread it for free on the poor families in the neighborhood.

and the FSA declared that they are not against Barri tribe , they are against any one will help the government in killing people .

Actually one officer from barri separated from the rejime before yesterday.

I hope what you say is true one shot but it's hard looking in to know what is really happening.

Yes all deserve a trial even if they are the worst of human scum.

Moza ,

The leaders in FSA madea statment that they are against such a behaviors not because of these criminals but because of the information they could get from them plus even criminals deserve a trial even with their ugly record of raping women and turtoring to death and terorising civlians

One Shot, although I support the revolution against the dictator Assad and his cronies, the FSA need to rise above tribal and ethnic rivaliries or they will lose the support of the world.

Even if these people were prisoners released by Assad they should not have executed them. Bad PR for them and the wrong thing to do.

All these crimes by them replies by the goverment by acceptance and these people u saw are responsible of death for more than 1000 syrian and indirect hurting of thousands of syrians

And a lot of peolpe in aleppo show their rejection of this kind of ecexcuting because it is a "mercy justice" as they said

Justice reached them at last and it is not a murder these people u saw in this video 3 of them are having death panalties and bashar al-asad let them out to help him against the revolution

Al -barri tribe are known in aleppo city with their drug and weapon smugling and traficing in allepo and i still remember when one of them came to a hospital and opened fire killing one ductor and two nurses just because his cousin was shot by other tribe right next to my house

Another guy opened fire in a bus killing 36 people because he was drunk 5 years back

What happened yesterday , is that free army made a truss with this tribe but they broke it by killing housam dienn arsmanazi so the free army attached back

And even though they arranged clear and safe path to women and children

Thanks for asking so i explained

What about the murder of captured army personnel by the FSA ?

45 tanks surrounding aleppo city and more are coming on the way with a lot of reinforcment along with cutting all the land lines mobile and internet with fears of making a big mascard against the civilians and families there.

Please pray for us and share it

UN observer 90-day mission expired, the mandate was renewed on July 20 for 30 days and Major General Robert Mood has been replaced by Lieutenant General Babacar Gaye, who has already taken up his post in Damascus.

While some people may say that Maj.Gen. Mood did not do a good job leading the mission but this is actually a good move so that the truth from an independent monitor can be out there and no longer be suppressed while the new head of UN Observer mission can monitor afresh to report independently. He may report differently and this his should be the Syrian govt's final opportunity to manage the situation anew. However, from the reports of escalating violence by Govt forces on Aleppo, etc things are pointing in the opposite direction.

Anyway, Major General Robert Mood, the former head of the U.N. monitoring mission in Syria, said yesterday ...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/27/syria-conflict-assad-fall_n_1709194.html?utm_hp_ref=world

"In my opinion it is only a matter of time before a regime that is using such heavy military power and disproportional violence against the civilian population is going to fall ...However, the authoritarian Syrian leader is probably secure in the short term because he has the military capability to hold off the rebels and his eventual fall could be months or even years away ...

Mood, who commanded a 400-strong mission, was unable to stop the escalating violence and said organised groups with artillery, mortars and mechanized formations were responsible for some of the violence in Syrian villages."

- Not sure if this last paragraph is referring to the armed opposition. In any event, what is clear to outsiders is that the Opposition continues to be fragmented and as such, they cannot win the war unless they become united. United they will stand and divided, they will fall, to the detriment of the Syrian people.

Update: There are local Syrians who claim that there is no problem in Damascus but it's external groups who are causing the trouble. Some refugees who had crossed over the Lebanon border have this different point of view. Al Jazeera cannot verify this as their reporters are not allowed to cross the border to do so.

britexpat said "So Iran is supllying weapons to Syria. Who is supplying arms to the rebels?"

stealth said, "brit guardian has a detailed report of the who's who of the syrian opposition funded by the US and French"

This report on 12.07.'12?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jul/12/syrian-opposition-doing-the-talking

Can you provide this report ?

i would be thankful

Thank you for your prayers and i want to make it clear that i am not attacking the UN people.

These people are brave men are rescuing their lives for a noble cause.

i just hate politics and a lot of politicians :) and i see most of them as the most greedy people in the world.

One shot said, "i still remember what was the purpose of the UN inspectors mission in Syria , it was to check if the regime is making crimes against the humanity ... however they agreed to go there and check by their OWN eyes. after 4 months all what they agreed on is to extend their mission 1 more month."

I think that for their own safety, they needed to say the right things to the Govt but discreetly report the truth. This would be a matter of strategy.

Currently, they are held up at their hotels due to the escalating violence, right? I recall there was one observer who earlier fled and spilled the beans on the monitoring that the Govt forces had trained on the UN observers themselves, even in the bathroom ..., on the "pretext of ensuring their safety". At that time, something is always better than nothing thus, the observers bravely continued their mission. At least with their presence there, the Govt was not totally free to act with impunity.

More effective strategies should be able to be formed with the recent defections of the Syrian Ambassadors to UAE and Cyprus and the earlier Ambassador to Iraq. Accurate intelligence of the ground situation in Syria is imperative for effective strategies to be executed.

May God be with the Syrian people.

brit guardian has a detailed report of the who's who of the syrian opposition funded by the US and French

and all the world agreed on ANNAN plan including Russia & China so what is really ANNAN plan (after modification ):

1-put internal political solutions take into consideration the fears & dreams of the " syrian people "

2-stop all the violence to protect the civilians.

3- providing supplies and helps to civilians who suffer because of this situation.

4-release all the imprisoned people who participated in demonstrations.

5- provide free movement for the media & the journalists in syria.

6- respect the rights of people to express their opinions & demonstrate .

none of the above was achieved till now.

Plus Kusovo was nearer to russian borders and they didn't care for the russian veto.

what i see is just a game to delay so maybe the revolution will stop and the only good intention from outside is from some of the arabic countries in the gulf who see the pain and they really want some real actions to stop the blood shed.

Let's be honest of what is happening:

i still remember what was the purpose of the UN inspectors mission in Syria , it was to check if the regime is making crimes against the humanity . all these videos and pictures are not enough to prove it. all the satellites which is watching syrian land 24/7 is not enough ,all these wintesses who run away from syria are not enough.

however they agreed to go there and check by their OWN eyes.

after 4 months all what they agreed on is to extend their mission 1 more month.

and everybody knows that only this system has tanks and heavy armory.

check this video today:

Don't think Annan is a "servant of Russia and Iran". He is doing his level best and so are the other UNSC members except for China and Russia who have veto power.

Been following Al Jazeera and also just read this, posted 21 hours ago:-

http://news.yahoo.com/russia-china-veto-u-n-security-council-resolution-143656228.html

"It was the third time that Russia, a key ally of the Syrian government, and China have used their veto power to block resolutions designed to pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and halt the 16-month conflict that has killed thousands."

And oh boy! .. chemical weapons, too "... Rice noted that the escalating violence was sharpening concerns over Syria's undeclared stockpile of chemical weapons, believed to be the largest of its kind in the Middle East.

"As the situation deteriorates, the potential that this regime could consider using chemical weapons against its own people should be a concern for us all," she said."

:) we already did long time ago and we even called the last friday

" Go down (Annan ) servant of russia & iran "

to tell the world that we don't need his delaying tactics to kill more civilian people just like what happened in Rowanda & Kusovo

Protest against the Russians and the Chinese. They are holding up intervention.

This three years old girl was singing for freedom, her voice was shut and her soul was taken by a sniper from Al- Assad regime that spread bloodshed across the region with no mercy to anyone including children. Until when will the world continue to watch silently without taking any role in ending the killing of innocent souls? Isn't time for the world to intervene to stop the horrific massacres against innocent children?!

&list=UU4ezIWvTMOekjgDavvo8BNw&index=1&feature=plcp

The interesting thing for me is it is favourable for Arabs and Muslims to attack America saying it is out to steal the Arab oil and kill all muslims but Russia is left completely alone. They have been figthing in Cheyna and Dagestan against the Muslim sepratists and have quite an agreesive campaign to stamp out political/terrorist Islam in their border regions. They also support Syria and block any attempts at the UN to intervene or tighten sanctions.

Where are the warriors on QL denouncing these infidels? Were are the protest in Iran against the New Great Satan?

Where are the screaming Pakistanis burning Russian flags?

Needless killing.

Shocking facts inside

2012 will be the winter of our discontent

Made glorious summer by this sun of Syria;

And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house

In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

Our brows shall be bound with victorious wreaths;

Our bruised arms shall be hung up for monuments;

Assad will be kicked out during the Winter of 2012...

Only hoping that Iran will not get involved... this Israel is waiting for and then its going to be a slug fest and Qatar will find itself in the Eye of the Storm for no reason...

This time unlike the Iraq war Qatar will find itself in unwanted situation.

Summary of Events

 for today

Regime forces invaded the Damascus suburb of Douma with tanks and armoured units and commenced field execution of all present adult males; none were able to leave their homes to move the bodies fearing executions. Afterwards, regime forces began shelling the inhabited buildings and then raided the Hamdan hospital and executed several nurses.

Regime forces killed at least 91 today; 24 fell in the suburbs of the capital, 12 in the province of Aleppo, and ten in each of the provinces of Daraa, Idlib and Homs where the Syrian army continued to heavily bombard the residential areas.

The regime’s violations continued across the country as its forces shelled the town of Kherbet Ghazaleh, the towns of Qastoun and Hilfaya in the province of Hama, and the Damascus suburbs of Douma and Daraya. It also raided the town of Kafar Shams and the city of Daraa and torched the farms in the villages of Kinda, Rweisa, and Sweide in the province of Idlib.

Massive defections took place in the prisons of Deir Azzour and Tadmor resulting in massive clashes, while revolutionaries destroyed the officers club of Deir Azzour.

According to Syrian Oil Ministry sources, an Iranian tanker arrived in the port of Banyas two days ago with a shipment of gas.

Turkish military sources said that Turkish fighter jets carried out sweeps along the international borders after Syrian helicopters closed in. The Assad regime has shot down a Turkish reconnaissance airplane on international waters after it had allegedly violated Syrian territory. The missing pilots of the shot down plane have not been found yet.

:) my point :

it is a delaying tactic until all the wolves take share from this.

the main reason why Un are there is to check if the "regime" is doing crimes.

Sadly that all these satellites, technologies can't prove that the system making crimes.

The UN can be helpful in gathering and passing information to concerned parties whilst covertly interacting with rebels :O)

Latest report by Robert Mod (UN inspectors Leader):

our team is ready to return back if all the parties stopped the violence

My Comment: Why you are there at the first place :)

From ur id i can understand that u r from iraq

Iraq is the second country for all arabs or at least for me

They suffer from the invasion long time till now

For syrians especially the ones currently inside

They believe that our victory by allah thats why they call " we have only you god to save us"

Thanks for ur comment

Assad has just a few more days... the invasion Plans has already started

Plan A:

http://www.freep.com/article/20120702/NEWS07/207020360/U-S-banks-on-pressure-to-force-Syria-s-Assad-from-power

Plan B:

http://www.navytimes.com/news/2012/03/dn-us-doubling-minesweepers-in-persian-gulf-031512/

Either way he is OUT... may be he will run to Qatar...if he is lucky...

Assad has no choice but to fight to the death for his own private kingdom and he has no other way out now. I expect the desertions in the army and his government to increase now, leaving him weaker and weaker.

Sooner or later he will be brought down a la Ghaddafi, Mubarak etc. And yes, the fact that so many of his own soldiers are proving treacherous to his side is a crippling blow to the regime. Insha Allah we may soon see the end to oppression and murder of innocents in Syria!

All dictator think alike gaddafi mubarak ali bin ali that's why they are dic- tators :)

I saw a defecting Syrian general on T.V. He was complaining that the U.S. was not giving enough help to the rebels.

Classic.

Americans are hated if they step in, and they are hated if they don't. The problem is not that you give people arms (killing machines are available all over the world. Africans and Carribbeans kill each other with machetes) it is the fact that they WANT to kill each other. Until people learn that ballots and jobs are the way to peace, we will see this to the end of time. The U.S. can't do anything, the EU can't do anything, the AU can't do anything, OxFam can't do anything...... God may help. Go check with Him.

I wonder who helped the Greek rebels defeat the evil Phoenician government?????????

Exactly moza

Without these heroes asad was ready to kill the 23 millions syrians to remain ruling

And without this modern technology nobody will know about these martyrs

What I dont understand is whether Syria is Assad's private property that he and his family have to govern forever. Cant they have a free and fair election like they have in say the philippines, India or Bangla Desh

Assad has serious problems now. Senior army officials are deserting him now so it's the beginning of the end for him, but not before a bloody civil war.

Tanks by RBG

Tv station is diffrent story

A group of presedental guards separated and attacked the builing then they arraged for pulling out

So how are they knocking out tanks and blowing up TV stations ?

A lot of soldiers are separating from alasd army with their weapons

Also the corruption among alasad officers which they are selling weapons and ammo to the rebals.

Smuggling from iraq turkey and jordan but this is not more rhan 10% because of the hard seige around the boarders

All there weapons are light weapons and nothing can challange hilocopters or jets

So Iran is supllying weapons to Syria. Who is supplying arms to the rebels ?

Nothing can replace P e a c e !!
