Weeks demonstrations in Syria reached a turning point this week. In the third city in the country, Homs, Tahrir style was broken up by a sit-in when police in the amount raised. More than 20 pro-democracy, demonstrators were killed since Monday in the city. But the switch in many minds happen earlier. It was known that he almost half a century of the State of emergency would end up as President Bashar al-Assad was. As a bold, patronize it. It was a problem of communication, he said. There was a conspiracy (the demonstrations), there were reforms and there were "need of the citizens, not only economic ones". Was he sure that its citizens understand, but as could appreciate it, what was going on when the Government not to explain what happened?
President Assad audience understood all too well. By the regime of the Salafist intruders, Muslim Brotherhood bin Stooges, saboteurs of Lebanon Saad Hariri and Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar Sultan or of the Israeli secret service Mossad and the CIA agents supported is accused of the protesters as Syrians demanded to be heard. Chants for reform gave way to songs for regime change. "From the street, alley, from House to House, we want to rush you, Bashar", Sung mourning at a funeral. Since them, trying to rebuild at great cost, to a Syrian Tahrir square, have a physical epicenter of the revolt in a big city.
The Assad family (there are Bashar's brother Maher al-Assad, Commander of the presidential guard and his cousin Rami Makhlouf) now available to draw less political leverage, although there are many institutions of military ones. Ministry of the Interior instructions unheard. Protests continued overnight in Zabadani, based and Aleppo. A character that is inviting to join the urban Sunni population remained closed in Homs, the shops, is launched. You will be reduced not by sacking of the Governor in Homs or the head of security in Banias. What began with a brutal but routine, local incident, when police beat and tortured a group of graffiti artists in Deraa, has become a nationwide protest.
It's tempting to see regional opportunities in Syria turmoil under. This is not only the Arab League, a summit planned for may moved, paralyzing but also promote the Assad's opposition allies believe, Iran, which Hezbollah and Hamas, would be to lose with his departure. Some can be trying to identify, that foments dissent in Syria is worth a risk. This is folly in any part of the Middle East, but especially for a country with Syria's borders. No Arab spring has yet has been fuelled by foreign intervention. It could be killed by one.
