How the Assad Regime Destroyed Syria

Posted on by المترجمون السوريون الأحرار

Written by: Dr. Khaled Al-Huroob

Published on 11th June 2012

The chain of historic disasters that the Assad’s (the father) regime brought upon Syria and the Arabs in the past decades are being crowned by the catastrophic additions of his son’s regime. These disasters will place him on the wrong side of history.

The regime’s mouthpieces and means of propaganda have been boasting and clapping for its “defiance” and “resistance” (to Israel and the super powers in the world). They keep repeating dumb slogans and tailoring all the crimes and disasters that were committed by the regime to accuse the Syrian people and its revolutionaries. Where the regime creates the disasters and fabricates the financial, political and ethical crimes and accuses the opposition of creating them through starting the vulgar whining and weeping claiming innocence and virtue. This is not too smart on the regime’s part, it is in fact a total ethical degeneration repeatedly cloned and reproduced  in a manner more repulsive than anything else. Having said that, we have to admit that the regime proved superiority in the ability to continuously manipulate many voices that are still deceived by the tales of “the regime’s resistance” and “the strategic plan” aiming at toppling it.

Rumors

            His Exc. Mgr. Mario Zenari, the Apostolic Nuncio to Syria, in response to the declarations issued by Agenzia Fides, the official Vatican news agency (See Fides 21/03/2012), and in indirect renunciation of the earlier claims of sister Agnes-Mariam of the Cross and others, confirmed to Adnkronos International (AKI), an Italian independent news agency, that the city of Homs is not subject to ethnic cleansing. In this context, the Nuncio exalted the efforts of whoever stayed in Homs from the people of the Christian neighborhoods to aid the arriving displaced Homsi Syrians from other neighborhoods. As for the Faruq Brigade, in their proclamation released on 22/03/2012, they denied Fides’s accusations that the Brigade is correlated to al-Qaeda, and that it is responsible for the displacement of 90 percent of the Christians of Homs. استمر في القراءة ←

Only in Homs, the Mothers Shroud their Daughters

In memory of the martyr Rama Barghouth

When I entered the Martyrs’ graveyard in Tal Al-Nasr with her sister, only two men have volunteered to come along and help us bury our young and beloved Rama Barghouth.

Rama! See her off, her brother, and…her father could not…
Lay his eyes at the shining smile resting upon her face…her father could not…
As she bids farewell to this Earthly world… while her bleeding stop not…
Whisper, words of a pride into her ear,… her father could not…
(rest in peace my child, and heaven be your home, a gift from God)…

The Damascus Bureau

True news and stories from Syria

Razan Zaitouneh, 13 June 2012

Long months of work, disagreements, conciliations, ill feeling, laughing, receiving news, exchanging invitations to our favorite, popular meals, and promises of celebration in the freedom square; yet I neither know his name nor his features.

I imagine him to be in his early twenties: nice and intimate; he is quick-tempered and quick to smile as well. He is too inquisitive to the extent that each time I had to beg him “son, please stop nagging”.

Interview with Bassel Shahade about Freedom Days’ Activity: Currency of Freedom

Posted on by المترجمون السوريون الأحرار

The voices of the non-violent and civil activism in Syria are not heard among the sounds of guns and whizzing of bullets, but a group of young activists still believe in the possibility of toppling the regime through non-violence resistance.

Activists printed pamphlets calling for civil disobedience against the Syrian regime on money-like papers, and threw them in the streets of several cities, including Damascus and Aleppo.

Freedom Days is an alliance of non-violent and civil activism groups in Syria.

Syria’s Youth

Originally published on 23rd May 2012

Nowadays, Syria’s youth are facing unparalleled circumstances of a tragic and dangerous nature. Situations that were rarely encountered by the youth of any other country, be it Arab or foreign. It is enough to be a Syrian youth today to be a suspect, and in turn be chased or wanted, targeted for arrest and torture till death, or be shot at. What is interesting though, is that the party that is opposing these youth, just because they are the youth, subjecting them to ruthless suppression, is a regime that has long been boasting the youth of it’s President, that he would turn a new page in the history of the nation of Syria and its people, and that he would renew both society and state, all with his youthful mentality.
