The Truth about Syria | Against the Zionist-Wahhabi media misleading. The Two Syrias: How design frames our perspective | Peace For Sale. Two weeks ago I was in Eastern Turkey working with the Center for Democracy and Civil Society in Syria. It was an amazing time that I will cherish and hope to relive soon. While I was there the Economist Magazine released their now “infamous” cover featuring the illustration below ( number 1).
The concept is pretty straight forward – country imploding from civil war, destruction and fatalism. It is true that in the international sphere and from a geo-political perspective it seems pretty accurate. But… When I asked the my Syrian friends what they thought about the cover…they were alot less angry than the tweets I head read about it. Two days later a new image (number 2) was going around the internet. There are many Syrian Ghandi’s and Mandela’s – now if the mass media would shut up long enough to let the smaller- quieter voices of peace to raise up.

It’s tempting to rubberneck at the catastrophic ruination of Syria the way a child might stand all agog before a presentation of animatronic dinosaurs gobbling each other up like hot dogs at a ball game. It seems so atavistic, like a microcosm of legendary cultural implosions from the distant past, like the Visigoths storming Rome, treating its elegant stone buildings like a quarry, slaking their thirst with ale drunk from petrified skulls.

MOSCOW, March 11 (RIA Novosti) – Russia should cut arms supplies to Damascus in order to pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad into negotiations with the opposition, members of Syrian moderate opposition said on Monday. “Russia has plenty of potential trump cards for negotiations that haven’t been played yet,” Raja al-Nasser, secretary-general of the Syrian National Coordination Committee for Democratic Change (NCC), said at a press conference in Moscow. Along with cutting arms supplies, means of influencing Assad’s regime include vetoing or approving “important international decisions,” Nasser said, when asked by RIA Novosti to elaborate.
Moscow has admitted to supplying Assad’s forces with weapons and doing maintenance work for their military equipment, though claimed it did so under contracts made before unrest broke out in Syria in March 2011. NCC representatives will hold talks this week with US diplomats and the UN Envoy on Syria Lakhdar Brahimi, Manna said without elaborating.

Archieffoto Reuters / Jamal Saidi Buitenland De Libanese premier Najib Mikati heeft het ontslag van zijn regering ingediend, meldt Reuters. Reden voor het ontslag is onder andere een impasse in zijn kabinet over de voorbereiding van nieuwe verkiezingen en de verlengde aanstelling van een van zijn generaals. Het kabinet van Mikati werd het niet eens over de verlenging van de aanstelling van generaal Ashraf Rifi, het hoofd van de binnenlandse veiligheidsdienst.
Daarnaast kon het kabinet het niet eens worden over de oprichting van een orgaan dat toezicht zou moeten houden op de parlementaire verkiezingen aankomende juni. Het ontslag van Mikati gaat overigens pas in als president Michel Suleiman het aanvaardt. “Het is een heel gevaarlijke situatie in Libanon; het is normaal gesproken al een instabiel land met al die verschillende facties, religies en partijen.

Sectarian narratives promote troubling agendas, not justice - Opinion. Sectarianism is not simply a form of prejudice, but a way of thinking and speaking which, consciously or not, enables various unjust agendas. The Syrian uprising, and the regional struggles in which it is enmeshed, show us how such a discourse can take on local and regional dimensions. Take, for example, Khalid Amayreh's October 2012 theory for Iran's continued support of Bashar al-Assad's regime, despite the mass killing. "The main and central reason behind Iran's murderous embrace of the Assad regime," Amayreh explains, "has mainly to do with the immense hatred the Twelver Shiites (who follow the twelve god-like imams or saints) harbour for Sunni Muslims.
" Such attitudes have become commonplace, despite a vocal contingent of anti-sectarian voices in the Syrian uprising. Although Amayreh is an Islamist writer, religiosity is not a prerequisite to today's sectarianism (if it ever was), as even those who never fast or pray will not hesitate to indulge in it.

For almost four decades, the Israeli-Syrian border has been Israel’s quietest border, a Jewish publication recently noted. Now, however, tensions are mounting rapidly and the prospect of a serious conflagration there is growing steadily. “Bashar Assad vowed that Syria would retaliate against Israel for an airstrike on a weapons convoy in the Damascus area last month, which foreign news outlets attributed to the IDF,” reports Ynet News. In my forthcoming novel, Damascus Countdown, Syria gets drawn in to a catastrophic war against Israel after a series of Israeli airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities. “Assad told the British newspaper Saturday night that Syria had always retaliated for Israeli actions, ‘but we retaliated in our own way, and only the Israelis know what we mean,’” reported Ynet.

AlArabiya_Eng : #Saudi Arabia warns of #Syria... Saudi Arabia warns of Syria crisis’ regional spillover. Al Arabiya With Agencies Tuesday, 26 March 2013 Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz, in a statement to the Arab League read by Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, warned of serious repercussions of the Syrian crisis on the Middle East’ regional security. King Abdullah said the Syrian regime of embattled President Bashar al-Assad is bent to spoil any initiative to achieve a diplomatic solution to the crisis. Syrian opposition representatives took the country's seat for the first time at an Arab League summit that opened in Qatar on Tuesday, a significant diplomatic boost for the forces fighting President Bashar Assad's regime.
In a ceremonious entrance accompanied by applause, a delegation led by Moaz al-Khatib, the former president of the main opposition alliance - the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition - took the seats assigned for Syria at the invitation of Qatar's emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani. “They ask who will rule Syria.
