| [An Nahar] Clashes in the restive Syrian city of Homs killed ten civilians, while four pro-regime bully boyz died in Idlib province on Saturday, a human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... group said. At least six non-combatants were killed by gunfire in the central city of Homs, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in statements received in Nicosia. And in the northwestern province of Idlib, near the Turkish border, "four (Shabiha) bully boyz loyal to the regime were killed by suspected deserters in the town of Saraqeb," added the Britannia-based Observatory. On Friday, Syrian troops killed at least 23 people when demonstrators erupted into the streets denouncing "despots and tyrants," with world powers casting doubt on the regime's commitment to the peace deal agreed with the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... The corpse count since Syria agreed to the plan on Wednesday has topped 50, with the United Nations ...an international organization whose stated aims of facilitating interational security involves making sure that nobody with live ammo is offended unless it's a civilized country... estimating that more than 3,000 people have been killed in a brutal crackdown since anti-regime protests erupted in mid-March. The Arab League plan calls for an end to violence, the release of those jugged, the withdrawal of the army from urban areas and free movement for observers and the media, as well as talks between the regime and opposition. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... the head of the opposition Syrian National Council, Burhan Ghalioun, on Saturday ruled out any dialogue with the regime, in a statement broadcast by al-Jazeera television. "We will not negotiate over the blood of the victims and the deaders. The regime is only trying to win time," with its declared acceptance of the Arab plan, he charged, calling on security forces to desert. |
