Syrians Demonstrate Against Government Bombing
The people of Mare 1, a town of 10,000, dedicated 2 Friday prayers to the people of Azaz, 20 kilometers away. Azaz was bombed two days earlier in a Syrian government air strike. It was one of the deadliest air attacks since the uprising began 17 months ago.
A demonstration 3 in support of Azaz and a show of defiance 4 against the government of President Bashar al-Assad followed the prayers.
Air strikes remain indefensible
Abu Mahmoud, commander of a local brigade of the Free Syria Army, said the FSA cannot defend the people against air strikes.
“The only thing we need is anti-aircraft weapons and missiles,” he said.
Despite the tension, Mare's central market teemed 5 with shoppers preparing for the three-day feast that follows the end of Ramadan.
Ahmed Baru, a grocer, said business is bad because people have not been paid their wages and prices have gone up because of the war. But he said his business will stay open.
”The future? We want him [Assad] to fall. God willing, he will leave."
People say they are praying for an end to their suffering, but they vow 7 to resist until the Assad government is gone.
