In the effort to calm antagonised anti-Assad Sunni Lebanese groups authorities
released Shadi Mawlawi, an outspoken critic of Syria’s leadership. The
cleric had been accused of sparking several days of clashes in northern
Lebanon that killed eight people.
Violence erupted in Beirut on Monday followed the killing of another
anti-Assad Sunni cleric Sheikh Ahmed Abdul-Wahid.
Rocket-propelled grenades smashed into buildings and machine guns fire was
exchanged between supporting and opposing Damascus groups. The battles
increased fears that protracted violence in Syria could drag Lebanon into
renewed civil war.
Meanwhile, a blast that killed five people in Qaboon neighbourhood of the
capital, Damascus on Tuesday, was planted by a militia affiliated with the
Free Syrian Army, an activist and resident of the area told The Daily
Telegraph.
“The bomb exploded in or near a restaurant. There were five shabiha
[government paramilitaries] closeby so the FSA targeted it,” said the
activist who asked not to be named.
At least 59 people died nationwide on Monday including 31 loyalist troops who
were killed in pitched battles with rebel fighters, the British-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights reported.
The violence is rendering redundant the UN ceasefire that came into effect on
12 April.
Gunfire erupted as a team of UN observers, part of a contingent of 260 unarmed
monitors, visited Busayra in Deir Ezzor province in the northeast. Rebels
said the police had opened fire on a crowd that had turned out to greet the
monitors, leaving two killed.
As armed militias proliferate across Syria, other opposition activists are
struggling to maintain the fabric of peaceful revolution. “There are
two revolutions now,” said Nadim Houry, Human Rights Watch’s Deputy
Director for the Middle East.
“The [non-violent] opposition movement Freedom Days is still continuing in
Damascus,” said Omar al-Khani, Secretary General of the Syrian Revolution
Coordinators Union speaking from the capital . “But they are struggling to
find new ideas. It is harder to move, there are checkpoints on every street
here”.
Peaceful demonstrations broke out at dawn on Tuesday in several neighbourhoods
of Aleppo, the country’s second city which until recently had been largely
spared the unrest shaking the country since March last year.
