A Human Being’s Revolution for Life

The 2nd Anniversary of the Syrian Revolution

Day 2: 16 March 2013

“Haven’t you had enough of our blood yet  ….But where to now??!! “

Red color will be the identity of this day in reference to the blood that was and still being shed by the  regime all over the map of the country for the throughout the past two years.

Since the regime took over power, complete sections of Syrian soils were given up. It relinquished the rights of our people in Golan heights with its Syrian identity. It  remained silent towards the Israeli occupation; even towards its hostilities holding on to “the right to retaliate.” Furthermore, it infringed on people’s liberty, monopolizing politics and state institution and accusing whoever opposes it politically of deviating from the principles of the so-called “The Revolution of The Eighth of March”.

With the revolution’s outbreak, sectarianism was its most awful weapon. The regime has been working hard throughout the past two years utilizing its repugnant media and horrendous practices to divide and segment the country into conflicting cantons that are defined on pre-civil bases like Sunni, Alawite, Shi’i, Ismaili, Christian, and fundamentalist, etc. It, moreover, associated  the security of Syrian minorities with its persistence, and went on to threaten the whole region with a war that shall redraw the political and even the demographic map in case of its fall.

Since the beginning of the uprising, the regime has relied on a policy of arbitrary arrests and forced disappearance for all those who tried to get involved in the Revolution of Dignity. It crushed on the peaceful civil movement  brutally, meeting it with systematic killing. And as the voices asking for freedom become louder and louder, it started bombarding and devastating the country, demolishing its institutions and destroying its infrastructure. The Syrian people as a result were forced to desert and seek asylum in order to save their lives. The regime has also drained all of the country resources and put them in the service of its repressing machine, implementing thereby its motto: “[either] al-Assad or [otherwise] we burn the country!”

This day comes to document practices of the regime over the past two years, exposing it out in front of those who are still supporting it by asking them a question: “Where is this country heading to now? When will you have the courage to accept our right rise up in revolt: The Human Being’s Revolution for Life?”

A Human Being’s Revolution for Life

The 2nd Anniversary of the Syrian Revolution

Day 1: 15 March 2013

Blue will be used as the defining colour of this day in reference to the colour used in the UN’s logo as a reminder of its role to protect human rights and defend liberty.

The Syrian people felt betrayed. International conventions and treaties which were put in place to defend human rights were all but ignored in the face of the economic and political interests of the world’s powers. The Syrian people felt that these treaties are nothing but pieces of paper which are taken out of the drawer or hidden according to the wishes of those powers. Meanwhile, international humanitarian organisations have abandoned their true mission under political and logistic pressures to become unjustifiably silent and almost obsolete towards what is happening in Syria. The martyrs, detainees, and displaced refugees of the Syrian people have become nothing but numbers that are collected by these organisation at the end of each day, without working on any real solution or playing a significant role to stop the bloodbath and cycle of destruction.

On this day we want to send our message as human beings directly to our fellow human beings bypassing governments, politics, statements, and empty promises and condemnations. We scream out to all of humanity to move and respond to our tragedy and stand besides us as one against injustice, indignity, and cheap death, to support us in our revolution – the revolution of a human being for life.

The glorious Syrian revolution didn’t erupt all of a sudden by a magic touch. The outbreak of the Syrian revolution was the product of several preceding events that have been accumulating throughout decades of political repression by the regime of Assad the father.

The Constitution Uprising in the seventies then the events of the eighties were an expression of the people’s refusal of power monopolization by al-Assad.

The Damascus Spring and the political demands associated with it didn’t last long in the face of the regime’s oppression. It ended in 2001.
