Bab Amr - Homs - Syria - They are being massacred!

Today Bashar Al Assad is telling the world that the US is inside his country helping the armed gangs. Because the US somehow has managed to come into the country and man the tanks with which they shell the living daylights out of residential areas.  Right.  This guy is delusional. But what to expect from a dictator aligned with Iran, and other dictators.  There may be a few people deluded enough to believe this, but seriously they couldn't come up with a better lie?  

One thing the Assad regime has been doing for months now is attacking Homs, some areas worse then others. The Bab Amr area is one of areas that has been taking shelling for months, but this time it's like the regime is determined not to stop until they have flattened the area into nothing but rubble, with the people left buried as they died.  Here is a statement from Bab Amr from today:

Important statement From Bab Amr Coordination in Homs 7.11

 

We, the working team of Bab Amr Coordination, condemn and declare to the public what the Assad regime did today. We condemn that Assad regime brought buses full of shabiha and they marched in support of the regime in the neighborhood of Bab Amr and Dunia Tv filmed this process as if the residents of the neighborhood are the ones who are cheering for the regime.

They also filmed the Consumer Institution working normally as a sign of normal life. Yet the Consumer Institution is just a center for security forces and shabiha for months and is also used as a detention centre.

We reiterate that Bab Amr neighborhood is being bombed for the sixth day in a row and the people of the neighborhood are suffering from lack of water, electricity and all types of communication. lack of medicines and all means of life. What are the normal aspects of life that the regime is talking about?

We ask the Syrian regime to stop its lies and to film the demolished streets and homes, the graves of the martyrs in the gardens, the wounded concealed in homes and the displaced families. We ask the Syrian regime to film at this moment how the Syrian army is invading the neighborhood and how they are arresting innocent people, stealing from homes and destroying property inside. 

We are telling the Arab, international community and human rights organizations and humanitarian organizations that Bab Amr neighborhood is in a crisis situation not back to normal life as the Syrian regime is portraying.
