Syria - All Plannings Exclude Assad

Last UPDATE (1st August) added further down !

While fierce fighting is going on for supremacy in Aleppo, Syrias biggest town, thousands of civilians are fleeing the country (picture above).

Meanwhile, the Free Syrian Army is considering how to replace the old Syrian system in case Assad would leave the country. That option has been urgently offered to Assad by Leon Panetta, U.S. secretary for defense, following a similar proposal by the PM and foreign minister of Qatar who spoke on behalf of the community of Arabic nations some days before.

الجيش السوري الحر يقترح مشروع إنقاذ وطني للمرحلة الانتقالية بعد سقوط نظام الأسد

The Free Syrian Army proposes a plan of national rescue for the period of transition after the fall of the Assad regime.

الجيش السوري الحر: أي حكومة تشكل من دون أن تتبنى كامل مطالب الثورة لن تحظى بأي شرعية وطنية و ثورية

The Free Syrian Army: [Any] government formed without [coping with] all demands of a revolution will not benefit from [any] national and revolutionary legitimacy.

Makeshift prison of rebel forces:

Prisoner belonging to a pro-government militia with typical tattoos showing his loyalty to the ruling family (above: portraits) and Hezbollah (below: Arabic writing). The prisoner's skin is showing deep cuts probably indicating indecent treatment by rebel guards. Other prisoners, belonging to regular government forces, seem to be better treated than militiamen who are being related to arbitrary killings of civilians.
