Indeed it is Ramadan Massacre what has been taking place in Syria in the last 24 hours , it is a true massacre by all measures. I bet that El Assad boys would have done it like their papa and uncle in 1982 if it were not for the media exposure.
The death toll is over 100 so far , in Hama according medical sources to CNN not less than 115 were killed while other sources speak about 200 martyrs “ I would go for 200 in these circumstances”. Bodies are all over the streets according to eye witnesses in Hama. It is just a déjà vu from 1982 indeed. Hospitals need blood and doctors are asking people to prepare first aid bag at the entrance of houses and buildings as the regime troops targeting buildings and mosques. Snipers are reportedly over the rooftops of certain hospitals , police stations and electricity stations in the Hama targeting the civilians. People are asked not to turn on the light in any room with a window and to stay away from windows so they will not shot down by snipers.
People were reportedly killed in Reef Dimshaq , Aleppo , Daraa .. it has become a norm actually after all these months but yesterday we are speaking about , I do not know how to describe it. The army has entered another city in Hauran which means more civilian casualties. People are exchanging over twitter and Facebook on how to stop tanks like in guerrilla warfare. Not less than 10 were reportedly killed in Kiswe,Reef Dimshaq. There was a strike in Latakia in solidarity with Hama. Arwad , the island opposite to Latakia protested tonight in solidarity with Hama.
Now you must know that a group of protesters will try to have a sit in at Umayyad square after the Tarawih prayers. It is not the first time the Syrians try to have a sit in there.
Below a compilation of videos that are extremely graphic and heart breaking , there is more than a human tragedy in Syrian now. “ Graphic warning +18”
This kid can be of Egyptian ancestry by the way “El Masry” usually refers to Egyptians who accompanied Mohamed Ali Pasha in his quests in Levant.
Now that video below from Hama shows the buses of thugs entering the city yesterday’s morning.
There are night protesters all over the country , in fact several cities and towns protested in solidarity with Hama , Daraa and Deir El Zor. There are protests even in Damascus , in fact it is huge development that there were several protests tonight in Damascus.
Now in Cairo things are intense and hot indeed. Yesterday there was a small protest in front of the Syrian embassy in Cairo at 5 PM , the numbers were not big due to the terrible traffic condition but I believe the voices were high enough to the embassy officials and the world when young Egyptian protesters screamed that they do not want the Syrian embassy in Egypt anymore. The protest was surprising for the army force protecting the embassy but I feel it was not that surprising for the embassy , I think there were not too many employees in the embassy.
Many Egyptians now want to expel the Syrian ambassador out of Cairo, Wael Ghonim summarized when he said :
Our presidential candidates also have not spoken yet except one and actually I am not surprised that Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei was the only prominent Egyptian to speak about Syria and its Ramadan Massacre like that whether in English or Arabic.
Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei said in Arabic in his official twitter account :
Bashar Al Assad is now featured in Tahrir square graffiti.
According to my knowledge there were several protests in front of the Syrians embassies today not only in the Arab world but across the world. Young Arabs do not want Syrian ambassadors in their countries anymore and want to withdraw their ambassadors from Syria like Qatar.
Wait for more update insh Allah , we will see if the attack , if the genocide will continue or not on the first day of Ramadan , in fact the Syrian revolutionaries do not escalate the protesting and start to protect their country and their families as they should.
@10:49 AM Update :
Bashar El Assad made an interview to the Syrian army's magazine to celebrate the 66 anniversary of the Arab Syrian army !!
Carlos Latuff made a cartoon about Syria.
Yara Kassem also made another cartoon

Many Egyptians now want to expel the Syrian ambassador out of Cairo, Wael Ghonim summarized when he said :
I am not honored as an Egyptian to have in my country an ambassador for Bashar Al Assad’s criminal regime.Officially there is no reaction from Cairo so far regarding what is taking place at our soul mate nation. Nabil Al Araby has not spoken yet about the massacre that took place today especially after stating last week that his his conscience comfortable regarding Syria !? This is the real test for Nabil Al Araby , the man who went to Tahrir square on February 1,2011. Dr. Al Araby please resign if you can a stand as a secretary general for the LAS , take the stand as a free man , as a man who used to be judge one day.
Our presidential candidates also have not spoken yet except one and actually I am not surprised that Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei was the only prominent Egyptian to speak about Syria and its Ramadan Massacre like that whether in English or Arabic.
Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei said in Arabic in his official twitter account :
Allah’s peace upon Syria’s martyrs. Shame on every Arab and on every human.And said in English in his official twitter account :
The world is watching the slaughterhouse in Syria. Shame on usTomorrow Egyptian activists are going to have another protest in solidarity with Syrian people at the Syrian embassy in Cairo again at 10 PM. You know Egyptians love the sleepless nights of Ramadan. Of course I do not know what is the use of having a protest at 10 PM when no one is at the embassy at that time !!
Bashar Al Assad is now featured in Tahrir square graffiti.

The electricity
This is a live stream from Hama , it was updated from an hour ago and it is just horrible. The narrator speaks on how the city is being shelled from all the four entrances of the city , it is so emotional when you hear the shelling and voices of the men saying Allah Akbar , death and not humiliation and the people want to topple the regime.
Many are reportedly injured and killed , I expected tomorrow's morning hundreds as hospitals are currently being shelled. Not less than 7 have been killed according to Al Jazeera.
Now people living near the central prison in Hama have reportedly heard screams and gunfire , people are assuming that there was an attempt for mutiny.
