Waer neighborhood still under Assad's siege, No truce


Shabiha, Pro-Assad militia has breached a planned truce in al-Waer neighborhood in Homs which was supposed to open all blocked crossings to allow people breaking the siege after 3 week of suffering, local sources told Zaman Alwasl.

Also, sources said that 7 people have been killed, including two women and child girl by Assad artillery shelling on al-Waer neighborhood.

In relevant context, a prominent rebel commander in al-Waer, Abdul Karim al-Adawi has been killed during the last clashes with Assad Army.

Assad forces, baked with Shabiha, have tightened the grip on  the city of Homs, 90 miles, for its strategic crossing linking the capital with army bases in coastal regions controlled by Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam that has dominated majority Sunni Syria since the 1960s.

Syria's conflict began in March 2011 largely as peaceful protests against Assad's rule. It escalated into a civil war after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent.

More than 115,000 people have been killed in the conflict, according to the U.N.'s recent estimate.
