Just one day after the Free Syrian Army’s Friday ultimatum for the UN to declare an end to the ceasefire passed without action, rebels were on the offensive nationwide, sparking battles on Saturday which left a reported 89 people dead, including 57 Syrian soldiers.
The death tolls were reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has become a de facto outlet for rebel claims of attacks. The group explained the deaths by saying that the “troops are vulnerable to heavy losses because they are not trained for street battles and are therefore exposed to attacks.”
The statement went on to claim that when the battles began, civilians overwhelmingly armed themselves and fought against the Syrian military on behalf of the rebels, saying this proved that the rebels enjoy near-universal public support.
Syrian state media didn’t report on the violence itself, but has been reporting on high profile military funerals for those slain by “armed terrorist groups,” including Brigadier General Nedal Ali Bashmani.
President Bashar Assad slammed the growing violence, saying it was part of a foreign plot, adding “we are not facing a political problem but a project to destroy the country.” The GCC member nations have been providing arms to certain rebel forces, and the US has been confirmed to play a role in helping them smuggle the arms into the country.
Isn't the bogus "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" some guy in England with a satellite dish?
You can say what ever you want about what's going
On in Syria, the truth is it was bound to happen sooner
Or latter, people have had it and it was a bomb waiting
To blow and some one took advantage to ignite it, it started
With people demonstrating against the government then
Joined by army defectors who refused to kill their own
People and also a third party run by god knows by whom.
If Mr.Bashar resigned to day the killing will stop but he
Won't and the third party knows that, it's like this, the rich
Gets richer and the poor dies.
You got the first part right. A demonstration did initially start by a small group of Syrians to which the government mistakenly over-reacted, but was then high jacked by your “god knows by whom” to destroy Syria so0 as to weaken Iran.
Then you are being utterly disingenuous when you fake ignorance by saying, “…a third party run by god knows by whom.” Not only god, but almost everyone else, except you, knows by who, and knows their evil intentions. Your “god knows by whom” include: the US/NATO/Turkey/Saudi Arabia/ Qatar and other reactionary and despotic Arab kings. Be honest or educate yourself.
the problem is,majority Arabs are stupid.
Genius must be out in full force this morning.
Just to name but a few, Ralph Nader is Arabic
And also Edward said was Arabic and I my self
I'm Arabic with only sixth grade education and
I can relate to you in your own language, can
You do the same, I doubt it, now can you tell
Me who's the stupid.
Despite its legal sounding name, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is a propaganda arm of the west with a small office in London assigned to manufacturing and propagating lies in favor of the terrorist groups fighting Syria who are armed and paid for by the US/NATO/Turkey/Saudi Arabia/ Qatar and other Arab kings in the anti-revolution club.
