Shakeeb Al-Jabri (@LeShaque) April 12, 2012Syria is coming to a ceasefire today as the Assad regime has taken (more than likely) a short break in the shelling against his own people.
Rallies are planned tomorrow to test the strength of the ceasefire, but some rebels report through online media that not all fighting has come to a halt yet despite the “deadline” set in place.
sporadic gunfire in several areas of #Syria, but real test of ceasefire will come tomorrow when people go out to protest en masse—

Assad is using the cover of peace talks to finish the job in Syria! Do we need 9,000 more dead before the world takes real action!? #Syria—

After hours of a reported slow-down in the killing of Syrian people, news is breaking now on local state TV from the regime that Syrians who’ve done nothing wrong should come forward and surrender. This is highly controversial because of Assad’s past and known record of a show-no-weakness strategy to his people.
