Over a Million Syrians March in Support of Assad

Press TV
October 13, 2011

Waving Syrian flags and pictures of Assad, hundreds of thousands of government supporters converged in a main square in the capital on Wednesday to show the level of support that the Syrian president enjoys.

”The army and people with you, Bashar al-Assad” and “Syria is our country and Assad our president,” read some banners held by demonstrators. Demonstrators also condemned foreign interference in their county’s internal affairs and called for national unity.

”Today’s rally is a message for the West and the Arab World to let them know that the president is legitimate,” said a demonstrator, adding that ”Assad represents economic and security stability. He’s our guardian. We don’t know how the next president will be.”
Demonstrators also thanked Russia and China for blocking a UN Security Council resolution against Syria.

The rally, which was huge in comparison with recent anti-government gatherings in the country, also aimed to denounce the “Syrian National Council (SNC),” an umbrella body formally set up on October 2, pulling together most of the groups opposing the Syrian leader.

  1. My govt-funded (sponsored by the Dept of Health and Human Services!) local CBS news affiliate radio station, kyw 1060 am, is mute on this but six weeks ago blasted that Syrians were holding up signs calling for NATO to save them when it was relatively few calling for NATO intervention and were most likely paid to do so since the global financial mafia is looking for a pretext to go in there.

  2. Demonizing the leaders of sovereign states who defy the Anglo-American megalomaniacs will not work for much longer.
    Manufactured consent will soon be a thing of the past.
    The brainwashed are waking up, the soldiers are waking up and small countries finally see a chance in defying the greed machine.
