Violence continued again today in the Syrian city of Homs, with rights group reporting another 13 people were killed today and the United Nations raising its estimate for the toll since February to 3,500 slain nationwide.
In addition to the usual attacks on civilians, a gunbattle was reported overnight in the town of Qusayr, not far from homes, with regime troops fighting a group of apparent defectors. The state media attributed the civilian deaths, as usual, to “armed terrorist gangs.”
The continued violence comes a week after Syria agreed to an Arab League plan that was supposed to see all political prisoners released and all troops and tanks removed from cities. Though some small portion of prisoners have been released, the troops remain.
This led French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe to conclude that the Arab League’s plan was “dead” and that it proved the international community “cannot trust” Assad. French officials have been pushing for United Nations action against Syria.
Alain Juppe so as Sarkozi and rest of the NATO.., Turkey.., and other whom support Saudis and other Tyrants regimes in the region should know that it was not US nor EU which brought peace to Lebanon.., it was not them who sacrificed with their life for that cause.., but if you look at wherever US or NATO militarism regimes been is nothing but killings and more killings by these regimes and a total support for Tyrants and barbarians’ like all those terrorist groups in Libya.
Sarkozi and Juppe.., get your democracy and you know where to shove it.., is laughable when these militarism regimes hand in hand with Neo religious Mafiosi – Colonialism (Turkey) talking about democracy while their at home policies been creating more poverty for people then ever before. These regimes are after other people’s wealth and they will lie to their teeth to get what their master (capitalism) wants.
