SNC - Syrian National Council

The SNC was formed in Istambul at the end of August, most of the opposition activists are part of it and the syrian people supported it by naming their last Friday of demonstration : Friday "SNC represents me". The first country to recognize it as the legitimate representative of syrian people was Libya, followed by Egypt. The other countries simply said they were waiting for it to develop.

Pro-Assad demonstration

Wednesday 12th October, some people were forced to go to a pro-Assad "spontaneous" demonstration, some because of their work, some others because of their family. A few months ago, another had taken place where a lot of people went ; this time, Assad was not able to bring together more than 80'000 people, and most of them went away as soon as they could. The guy chanting slogans even said "Assad is gonna fall" instead of "Assad is not gonna fall" once, by mistake or not.

People going out of the bus (really spontaneus, the bus, of course all these people woke up in the morning and told themselves they would demonstrate for their president, already knowing where and at what time - apparently there even was security forces giving pictures of Assad) : here

Annan plan Here is Annan's six-point-plan, if you've not seen it : 1. Syrian-led political process to address the aspirations and concerns of the Syrian people 2.

Add to this that  there's no timetable included ... And the second point asks for the cessation of
