The latest news from the world is that the protestor’s city of Deraa is under attack

Syrian army has launched an attack on the southern part of Syria called as Deraa. Sources have reported this latest news from the world through an unverified video. Around 3000 soldiers are estimated to have entered the city of Deraa, armed with heavy armour, firing all around the city. Online news reported that the tanks supporting their troops had surrounded Al-Omari mosque in old city. Foreign journalists are prevented from entering the country making it difficult to verify the news.

Around 95 people were reported killed on Friday while 12 more were added to the list on this Sunday. There are also several reports that say electricity and communications are cut off by the government making it virtually impossible for the protestors to act. It looks that the government has waged a savage war on the protestors and is completely determined to annihilate the democratic protests.

It all stated from a group of protestors demanding a democratic government in Syria. After then news with views to set up a democratic government in Syria were on air. Demonstrators want the President Bashar al-Assad to step down and end his autocratic rule. The government seems in no mood to do so. They have launched severe military actions against the demonstrators. National emergency was also implemented, which was removed just last week in order to calm the protestors.

Till now around 350 people are reported been killed since March. The Human rights commission has started an international enquiry for all these killings. ‘The government has taken a completely brutal approach to deal with this issue’ says a local activist. Governments all around the world have condemned this act of Syrian government. The online news in India is also reporting the event since March thus making their citizens aware of the happenings of Syria.
