Syrians Demonstrate Against Government Bombing

The people of Mare1, a town of 10,000, dedicated2 Friday prayers to the people of Azaz, 20 kilometers away. Azaz was bombed two days earlier in a Syrian government air strike. It was one of the deadliest air attacks since the uprising began 17 months ago.

A demonstration3 in support of Azaz and a show of defiance4 against the government of President Bashar al-Assad followed the prayers.

Air strikes remain indefensible

Abu Mahmoud, commander of a local brigade of the Free Syria Army, said the FSA cannot defend the people against air strikes.

“The only thing we need is anti-aircraft weapons and missiles,” he said.

Despite the tension, Mare's central market teemed5 with shoppers preparing for the three-day feast that follows the end of Ramadan.

People pray, persevere6

Ahmed Baru, a grocer, said business is bad because people have not been paid their wages and prices have gone up because of the war. But he said his business will stay open.

”The future? We want him [Assad] to fall. God willing, he will leave."

People say they are praying for an end to their suffering, but they vow7 to resist until the Assad government is gone.
