They know exactly what the crisis is all about. The Assads, in their words, need to Fuck Off.* *Sunday October 16, 2011 * 9 people were killed by pro-Assad militias in protests that took place throughout Syria. The dead include 6 in *Homs City* (where 40 were also reported wounded), 2 in *Khan Shaikhoon* in Idlib Province and 1 in the town of *Zabadani* in Damascus Province. The death toll is expected to mount as pro-Assad militias continue their attack on neighborhoods in Homs City, towns in Homs Province (Teer Mallah and Ghanto), in Idlib Province (Khan Shaikhoon), Deraa/Hauran Province (Harrah, Ankhel and Mseifrah) and Damascus Province (Zabadani and Madaya). Meanwhile, the *Arab League* to reach consensus on freezing Syrias membership, and ended its extraordinary meeting by calling for dialog between the Assad regime and all opposition groups. The League also announced the formation of a special ministerial delegation to pay a visit to Damascus and carry message in person to the *Assad regime*. The move is based on the *Arab League Plan* calling for holding free presidential elections in 2014, a plan that was rejected by the regime and most opposition groups. The position of the *Syrian National Council* on this issue remains unclear as its spokesmen continue to issue contradictory statements to the media. *Links* *Syria escapes suspension from Arab League<http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/ed17cef4-f834-11e0-a419-00144feab49a.html> * *Assad, his raids on Lebanon, and Syria's slow slip into civil war<http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/assad-his-raids-on-lebanon-and-syrias-slow-slip-into-civil-war-2371624.html> * *Syrias Alawites go on arms shopping spree<http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=241940> * *The children in Maarrat Hourmah in the Idlib Province out their demands very succinctly and in English so everyone can understand.
