Egypt & Syria Explode - Buffet of Violence, and Guess Who Kills?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

And none of this is Israeli activity in Gaza or the West Bank. These are not "settlers" or some other bogeyman. Now there are some that think that Israel's abandonment of the settlements will bring sweetness and light to this part of the world. What this shows is that maybe negotiations just won't work with these people. They seem to love violence, in spades.

Could it be that post WW I independence for many of these areas was a bad idea? Maybe they're just not ready for self-rule.

Thoughts?

Egypt's president declared a state of emergency and curfew in three Suez Canal provinces hit hardest by a weekend wave of unrest that left more than 50 dead, using tactics of the ousted regime to get a grip on discontent over his Islamist policies and the slow pace of change.

Angry and almost screaming, Mohammed Morsi vowed in a televised address on Sunday night that he would not hesitate to take even more action to stem the latest eruption of violence across much of the country. But at the same time, he sought to reassure Egyptians that his latest moves would not plunge the country back into authoritarianism.

The unrest was sparked on Saturday by a court conviction and death sentence for 21 defendants involved in a mass soccer riot in the city's main stadium on Feb. 1, 2012 that left 74 dead.

**************

At least another 11 died on Friday elsewhere in the country during rallies marking the second anniversary of the anti-Mubarak uprising.

There’s no clashes between the FSA (rebel Free Syrian Army) and the regime, only shelling and bombing from the regime positions,” he said.

According to Feras, regime officers are afraid that their platoons of conscripts could desert at the first opportunity, while the rebels are too low on weapons and ammunition to forge ahead.

The result is a stalemate which has made life impossible for the Kurdish civilians who used to live in the 60 villages in the area, in the northern reaches of Latakia province.

And so he [the Muslim] advances on his fatal road until another force comes forth to oppose him, and in a mighty struggle hurls the heaven-stormer back to Lucifer. Germany is today the next great war aim of Bolshevism. It requires all the force of a young missionary idea to raise our people up again, to free them from the snares of this international serpent...

There's always something on the menu over there, nothing constructive though.
