So in the following articles, you'll be able to read the last news plus the news about what happened some time ago, in order to have everything in here. Storified by yaat · Tue, Aug 28 2012 02:04:53 Precisions about the terms frequently used - Précisions sur les termes fréquemment utilisés Please stop using the word "rebel", they're not rebels, they're people fighting for their freedom, their dignity, their country. They're people fighting for their rights. The word "revolutionnary is much more appropriate. And once again, it is NOT a civil war, but an uprising against a regime that is killing its own people. S'il-vous-plaît, arrêtez d'utiliser le mot "rebelle", ce ne sont pas des rebelles, ce sont des gens qui se battent pour leur liberté, leur d

Vous pouvez aider ! Aleppo - Alep The shellings continue in Aleppo , as the "rebels" (I don't like using this word) announced they controled about 60% of the city . The regime forces almost don't dare entering the city and are now shelling from helicopters . They're using heavy weaponry . On August 5th, the citadel , that had been spared till then, was finally hit by rests of shells . It's one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. Some Aleppines fled, some others didn't, not knowing where to go, as the refugees are not really treated well and as the rest of Syria is shelled too. And a lot of Syrians prefer to die at home than to miserably survive outside Syria. " We didn't have anywhere else to go. All of Syria is being bombed. Where are we supposed to go ? " Fighting for Aleppo Casualties Les bombardements continuent à Alep , comme les "rebelles" (je n'aime pas utiliser ce mot) ont annoncé qu'

500 days later ... Yesterday, Syria has been rising up for 500 days, and no one has helped. Who would have thought so ? I used to believe in humanity , now I don't know anymore... Because what's happening in Syria is not a political matter, as medias and politicians seem to believe, it is a humanitarian matter . People are dying for what we take for granted, in Europe : freedom. Freedom of speech, right to choose, dignity... But it's also a matter of survival too, after all these slaughters. And the fact that the fall of the regime would change everything in the region shouldn't matter when people are dying. The fact that selling weapons to Syria makes Russia earn money shouldn't matter when people are dying. So as humans, we should all be concerned . These are our human brothers, people we could have known, with dreams, families,... I personally am so lucky my close family is still alive, may God protect them. But they lost relatives. A friend of mine lost f

UN Resolution - Résolution de l'ONU The UN Security Council met on July 19th to talk about a resolution concerning Syria, which was of course vetoed again by Russia and China . This is the third time they veto a UN resolution concerning Syria. The following day, the Security Council decided to extend the length of the observer mission of one more month. What for ? So that people think they're trying to do something ? If it was useful in helping Syrian people, Russia and China wouldn't let it be. Homs Le Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU s'est réuni le 19 juillet pour se mettre d'accord sur une résolution concernant la Syrie, sur laquelle la Chine et la Russie ont évidemment mis leur veto . C'est la troisième fois qu'ils le font. Le jour suivant, le Conseil de Sécurité à décidé de prolonger la mission des observateurs d'un mois. Pourquoi ? Pour que les gens pensent qu'ils essaient de faire quelque chose ? Si cette mission aidait

Support a kickstarter project to go to Syria and document the events (or watch the very graphic video) : here How I wished I could join... News - Nouvelles Nawaf Fares, ambassador of Syria to Iraq On July 11, Nawaf Fares, ambassador of Syria to Iraq, announced his defection . It's a very important defection, because not only was he an ambassador, but he was a very close friend of the regime . He was not chosen as an ambassador because of his diplomatic carrer (which he doesn't have) but because he was a close relative of the regime members. According to him, he was supposed to go back to Syria and work for the regime when he defected. Good sign, Assad is apparently loosing even close supporters . But why do all these people still work for Assad ? Here's what a shabbiha said : "We love Assad because he gave us power and strengh. If I want to take something, to kill someone, to rape a woman, I have the power to do so . The State pays me 30'000
