SYRIAN UNREST

 

Protests in Syria started on 26th January 2011 and were influenced by other protests in the region. Protesters have been calling for political reforms and the reinstatement of civil rights, as well as an end to the state of emergency which has been in place since 1963.

 

Since March 2011 demonstrations have taken place in many cities across Syria. Thousands of protestors gathered in Al Hasakah, Aleppo, Damascus, Daraa, Deir Ez Zor and Hama. After the first day of the protests there were reports of approximately 3,000 arrests.

 

In Damascus, security forces broke into the Omayyad Mosque and violently attacked protesters. Several people were injured, and several others were arrested. In the southern city of Daraa, people chanted against Rami Makhlouf, the cousin of the Syrian president. The regime replied by sending helicopters and water cannons to confront the protesters. At least three people were killed by security forces.

 

As a result of the protests, the Governor of Daraa was fired, but this did not satisfy the protesters. Demonstrations increased and on 24th March 2011, it was reported that more than a hundred had been killed.

 

The entire Syrian cabinet was asked to resign by the president. Adel Safar was named the new prime minister and his new cabinet was sworn into office on 14th April 2011.

 

The cities of Baniyas and Homs have also fallen under siege by government forces. Army tanks have begun heavy shelling of residential areas.

 

On 18th May 2011, the United States imposed sanctions on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and six other senior Syrian officials as a response to Syria's bloody crackdown on political protests.

 

In June 2011 Syrian troops and Gunmen loyal to President Bashar al-Assad arrested 70 people and set houses on fire after tanks entered a town near the Turkish border. 19 people were shot dead in the assault.

 

There is also a growing sense in the region that the regime's days are numbered. Turkey, one of Syria closest allies, has warned al-Assad that time is running out and urged him to step down.
