About a month after the creation of the SNC, Tunisia finally recognized it ; it only is the second country to do so, after Libya. Next step to show support to the syrian revolution is to recognize the SNC as the official representative of the syrian people.

Arab League

The Arab League called for the end of the slaughter, the release of all prisoners, the opening of the borders to let international medias and arab observers in, and a national dialogue ; the syrian government finally said yes. The next day the death toll doubled in Homs, some prisoners were released but more than 2'000 people were arrested in the area of Damascus. Now the whole city of Homs smells like gunpowder because of the shelling in Baba Amr.

Homs has been the capital of the revolution for a long time ; almost half of the people killed during the uprising died in Homs. Baba Amr was the first area in the city of Homs to be surrounded, and for about ten days it is shelled and bombed to such an extent that now the whole city smells like gunpowder.

Comment : So that's the reform Assad was talking about ? Encourage people to kill themselves instead of shooting them ? Saying they're cowards because they'd rather die than suffer humiliation and torture in jail ?

Comment : As they say, more than 10'000 soldiers have defected, which means that out of the 1'000 soldiers that the regime announces killed by protesters probably a lot were simply shot by the security forces like other demonstrators. Beware of what the Assad regime says...

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. UN-supervised cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties to protect civilians 3. All parties to ensure provision of humanitarian assistance to all areas affected by the fighting, and implement a daily two-hour humanitarian pause 4.
