Revolution that’s what we have been hearing in the news across many countries in the North Africa and the Middle East. This revolutionary movement was completely unpredictable and unprecedented. The common mass has now wakened up and is demanding for better governance and accountability.
Tunisia and Egypt’s uprising stirred Syrian to protest against its own ruling government. They have tolerated Assad Family’s tyranny for 41 years and now their demand is nothing but democracy and political freedom. Under Assad family’s regime they have suffered poverty, unemployment, lack of freedom of speech, and even the emergency law was also imposed on them. Syrian opposition activists have shown their rage against their ruler for tightening of internet censorship, restriction on travel outside their country and the arrest of many people.
Mass uprising against the government has pervaded in every city of Syria. Merciless Bashar Al-Assad who is no less than Saddam Hussein has taken lives of hundreds of protestors with the help of his savage security forces. Thousands have been arrested and are brutally being tortured. Rogue soldiers have shown their inhumanity on small children and young women. It is heart wrenching to see such brutality happen to innocent people who are demanding nothing but freedom.
Seeing the assault thousands of ordinary people have fled into the hills or have taken refuge in Turkey. Hundreds of them made the temporary camp close to the Turkey border for their safety. For them it’s like a nightmare and they never thought by sacrificing the lives of many martyrs they will pay the price of freedom.
The Syrian government is not allowing foreign journalists into their country. We can witness the atrocity only through videos uploaded in you tube. They have diplomatically snubbed UN access in this matter.
Ruling government is always seen as a beacon of human rights and here it’s just the opposite. God will not forgive Assad for his act of genocide.
From here we can only pray to Allah for ouster of Assad and to liberate Syrians from 41 years of indigenous dictatorship.
