About a year ago, June 27th 2011,  Ibrahim Qashoosh  wrote his dabke. On July 4th 2011, his vocal cords were ripped out and he was killed.  RIP News - Nouvelles On June 21st, the first  Syrian pilot defected  by flying to Jordan, where he was granted asylum.  Three others followed , one Lieutenant Colonel and two colonels.

Hi everyone ! Sorry, news coming soon, but to keep you waiting here's a short movie some of you may want to see. It's based on the story of a Syrian, adapted of course so that we cannot recognize whose story this is. And probably adapted for the movie too. It's been filmed in Lebanon, so it's meant to be a fiction. It's been done in french at first if you want to see the original version (which I advise you to, because the colors are much better)   here   it is, and   here   is the subtitled version. News to come very soon. Français  : Salut tout le monde ! Désolée, les nouvelles arrivent bientôt, mais en attendant voilà un court-métrage que quelques uns d'entre vous pourraient vouloir voir. Il est basé sur l'histoire d'un Syrien, adaptée bien évidemment, afin que l'on ne puisse reconnaître de qui c'est l'histoire. Et probablement également adaptée pour le film. Il a été tournée au Liban, c'est censé être une fiction.

The opposition wants any kind of help, but the Security Council and the Arab League are  against any military intervention .

According to Laurent Fabius, Russia wants at least a  part of the regime to stay in place  in order to defend its own interests, but the opposition will never agree on this after all these slaughters and all its losses. Lavrov denied it and said Russia was ready to let Assad go only if that's what Syrians want. The thing is that by "what Syrians wan

Save the children of Syria here  and ask Russia to take action here Ambassadors & Houla - Les ambassadeurs & Houla After Houla was bloodily slaughtered about a week ago, the international community reacted by sending back to Syria some representatives of the regime , the diplomats, the ambassadors, the envoys. The opposition has been asking for this for about a year not, and they waited for more than 1'000 children to die for them to react. But better late than never, this is already a good step forward. Apparently about 15 countries did it , including the United States, the Netherlands, Australia, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Bulgaria, Canada, Turkey, New Zeeland and Switzerland (whose ambassador is actually the same than in France, but who said that she was not welcomed anymore). And the honorary Syrian Consul to California resigned, to protest against the Houla massacre. Talking about the Houla massacre, after it happened everyone talked a lot a
