The regime has fallen! * *Friday June 17, 2011 * Aleppo offers her first martyr as Assad security forces kills 19 protesters as part of their ongoing crackdown. The dead also include a 13-year old boy who fell in Dael City in the Deraa Province, and two protesters in Deir Ezzor who tore posters of Hafiz and Bashar. Protests took place in Deraa City, the cradle of the revolution, once again, due to a recent decrease in the numbers of troops and security forces assigned to the city. Protesters used called for toppling the regime. Protests also took place in Mouarrat Al-Nouman and Saraqib, despite being besieged by the army and despite the migration of many of residents to the relative safety of the borders with Turkey. Protesters used called for toppling the regime. Protesters in Lattakia, who flooded many neighborhoods despite massive army and security presence, carried banners in many languages asking for the departure of Assad. One banner in Chinese criticized the Chinese government for its pro-regime policies. Protesters used called for toppling the regime. In Hama City, and in response to the organized pro-Assad rally that took place in Damascus on Wednesday, in which supporters sported a 2500 meter long flag, local protesters brought out a 3,000 meter long flag combining the current Baath flag with the Independence flag adopted at the Antalya Conference. While loyalists wrote on their flag God, Syria, Bashar, protesters wrote on theirs Hama will not kneel, as they called for toppling the regime. Meanwhile, Hama residents threatened to go on a month-long strike should army tanks recently stationed outside their city venture into the city. The towns of Rastan and Talbisseh also witnessed mass demonstrations despite heavy army and security presence. Protesters in the neighborhood of Bayadah in Homs came under heavy gunfire leaving 2 dead. Meanwhile the City of Damascus witnessed a number of demonstrations. For while security officers were busy trapping and brutally assaulting over 700 protesters at Hassan Mosque in the traditional Midan District, another Midan Mosque was the focus of huge demonstration where with protesters calling for toppling the regime and shouting slogans against Bashar, Maher and their cousin Rami Makhlouf. The most important development in Damascus though was the demonstration in the Jadat area in the Muhajireen District, an area close to the presidential palace, foreign embassies and the houses of many government officials. The rural areas surrounding Damascus fielded dozens of major demonstrations, including in the suburbs of Douma Madaya, Zabadani, Al-Qadam, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, Qatana and Qarrah. They were also massive demonstrations in Saqba, Hammouriyyeh and Jisreen which later merged together in the main square of the nearby town of Kafar Batna. The northeastern communities of Deir Ezzor, Mayadeen, Qouriyeh and Alboukamal also witnessed mass protests, with protesters attempts to court the army yielding few more defectors, a development that prompted security officers and Assad loyalist to open fire on said defectors killing an unspecified number. Residents of Deraa Province, the cradle of revolution, took to the streets again in the 10,000s in another show signifying the futility of the violent crackdown. A 1,000 deaths later, and following weeks of terror living under the control of the 4th Division, the fear barrier has not been rebuilt. The regime has indeed fallen. Kurdish-majority communities of Al-Qamishly, Amoudeh, Kobani/Ayn Al-Arab continued to take part in the protest movement. Indeed, protesters in Amudeh burnt a Russian flag as an expression of their discontent with Russias pro-Asasd policies and stands. As Angelina Jolie visits Syrian refugees in their camps in Turkey, some (refugees at the Yayladagi Camp) have gone on a hunger strike to protest their treatment by Turkish authorities, who wont allow them to contact the outside world, receive visitors or organize anti-Assad demonstrations. The situation in other refugee camps seems to be better though. *Links Syrian refugees fear army reprisals<http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/82ed05a6-9909-11e0-acd2-00144feab49a.html?ftcamp=rss#axzz1PZY5Admv> * *Six killed at anti-Syria rally in Lebanon<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/8583334/Six-killed-at-anti-Syria-rally-in-Lebanon.html> * *EU Set To Adopt New Syria Sanctions<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304319804576390064216455594.html?mod=googlenews_wsj> * *Violent Clashes as Thousands Protest in Cities Across Syria<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/18/world/middleeast/18syria.html?_r=1> * The Assad dynasty is being consigned to the history books, where it will probably be the subject of a paragraph or two.
