The Wait. →
This is a guest post by @BigAlBrand who is an activist living in Homs, cradle of the Syrian revolution. He agreed to share some insights from his everyday life.

A Cannibal in Syria by @intensionality →
This ought not to be an important subject - one crazed guy in a horrifying video and a disturbing interview. Some insist that it takes attention away from far worse atrocities.

The Angry Arab Interviews Himself About Syria →
The Angry Arab has been conducting a series of interviews with journalists and analysts about the situation in Syria for a while now, asking questions that you would never see in the ‘mainstream media’ as he calls it. He had promised to interview himself at the end of the series, and we are lucky that he decided to allow us to publish this remarkable interview which sheds so much light on one...
