Syria Music Video: #SYRIA (Offendum)

The artist Omar Offendum offers a tribute to and hope for the Syrian protests --- lyrics, taken from his blog, below the video:

Audio Sample taken from the largest Syrian protest to date, in Hama on 22 July 2011 --- "alsha3b yureed isqaa6 al-nitham (the people want to overthrow the regime)"


"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." --- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Verse 1

The purpose of these verses is to unify the masses
7oms up to 7assakeh … Banyas to Damascus
City streets to countrysides
Mountaintops to coastal tides
Muslim / Christian / women / men & children
Lets keep hope alive
Stand in solidarity with all your fellow citizens
Peacefully protesting for an end to all the militance 
Torture & imprisonment
Murdering of innocence
Proving that this lying/lion leader's rule is illegitimate
Like father --- like son
Mobster or president?
Censoring their people
Trying to stop the embezzlement 
Heavy-handed iron fists
Dropped on the residents
Déjà vu... 
'82 - '11...

We are all Deir Ezzor … We are all Dar3aa
We are all Jisr il-Shughoor … 7alab & the 2al3a's (castles)
We Are All 7amza ... We Are All 7ama ... 
We Are All Syrian … Hands to the samaa2 (sky) saying:
 
"alsha3b yureed isqaa6 al-nitham"

Syria 1st-Hand: The Growing Opposition in Damascus (Black)

A rally last night in Harasta, northeast of Damascus


On the face of it, Damascus is calm. The bloodiest frontlines of the revolution may be in Homs, Hama, Idlib and Deraa, but the appearance of normality in the capital is deceptive. Intrigue, fear and anger are just below the surface.
