29 Dead across Syria as Troops Assault Hama
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syrian troops on Wednesday launched an assault on the central city of Hama, as ongoing violence killed 29 people across the country, a rights group said.
Loud blasts could be heard in the Hama’s Hamidiyeh and other neighborhoods, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Rami Abdul Rahman, head of the Britain-based monitoring group, said ongoing clashes had killed 20 people, including nine civilians, in Al-Atareb, northwestern Aleppo province.
A bomb blast killed three people in Jisr al-Shughour, a 16-year-old schoolgirl was shot dead in southern Daraa province and gunfire and explosions rocked the northern city of Idlib, said the Observatory.
Five soldiers died when a bomb attached to their armored vehicle by army deserters exploded in the town of Sermin, Idlib province, it added.
In Damascus, dozens of pro-regime young Syrians gathered in front of the Russian embassy to thank Moscow and Beijing for their support, state television reported.
"We are here to thank Russia and China," said one woman who urged President Bashar al-Assad to deploy the army across Syria and to strike what she called gangs "with an iron fist."
As diplomats said they would seek a condemnation of the violence at the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday, China called for an "inclusive dialogue" between the government and opposition protesters.
China and Russia have faced a barrage of criticism for blocking a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the Assad regime.
Rights groups say more than 6,000 people have been killed since regime forces launched the crackdown on protests calling for democracy, which were launched 11 months ago to the day.

I feel very bad for all the innocent people. But the ones to blame are the opposition mostly,when you use weapons against your own government, what do you expect? Then the regime for having to deal with the situation like this. In short the people would be better off without both of them, since both of them are striving for control of the country, on the people's expense.

The Syrian regime and it's Lebanese allies used a similar arguments to blame the Christians leaders for what the Syrian army was doing to the East Beirut. But that's not important, right?

They were peaceful for many many months and he did nothing to take care of business... I personally encourage a full blown military revolution and ask the Syrian army to side with the people

jamerican gives us here a nice lesson of Democracy... "the ones to blame are the opposition mostly,when you use weapons against your own government, what do you expect?"
yaaa...zaki! When you have been living under a totalitarian regime, when you have no voting power, when you are not allowed freedom of speech, when your president is elected by 97% of the population (sic!), when a religious (minuscule) minority controls your country, when demonstrations are forbidden by the regime, when you live under a regime that tortures children and executes people in hospitals, when you live under a regime that eradicated entire villages...What are you supposed to do ya jc?? For info, "opposition" has never been allowed for the past 60 years in Syria...pffff...

As long you are arabs, there is no democracy. Democracy is for intellects and innovators. Not Followers. Tell me about one democratic country in the arab world.

just more ignorant ziballah or aoun followers who claim to be intellectuals when they have no sympathy for arab blood. They also tend to live in Western countries and collect government aid while they bitch about the country that gives them such aid! And with regard to the ones in Lebanon, hence that but for them being ignorant, we wouldn't have such politicians elected into public officer.
I recall a few years ago when i inquired as to why people voted for aoun, part of it was the hatred for the Lebanese forces, and the other reason that they gave was because Hariri and March 14 were thieves and didnt do anything for the Christian areas.
So today I ask them the same question. How can you vote for Aoun when he is a crook and corrupt with a private jet, and what has he done for the Christian areas?

Don't mix up everything. We were the victims of the El Assad family, not of the syrian people...
