NICOSIA: Syria's opposition on Monday called for "international protection for civilians" in the central city of Homs, besieged by the forces of President Bashar al-Assad and theatre of deadly clashes between soldiers and alleged army deserters.
Declaring Homs a "humanitarian disaster area," the Syrian National Council urged the United Nations, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League to act "to stop the massacre committed by the regime."
In a statement received by AFP in Nicosia, it called on the international community to send "Arab and international observers, instantly, to the city of Homs to oversee the situation on the ground, and prevent the regime from continuing to commit brutal massacres."
The Syrian National Council, which groups the main currents of the opposition, also called in its statement for the evacuation of civilians away from "areas that are under shelling and destruction."
The group said the Syrian regime had "launched a large-scale attack" overnight Sunday to Monday on the neighbourhoods of Homs and that "indiscriminate slaughter is being committed by the regime's militias."

Former Syrian vice president leads new opposition group

A new Syrian opposition group backed by Bashar al-Assad's former Vice-President Abdul-Halim Khaddam said on Monday it wanted to unify the various opposition strands and use "all means" necessary to oust the Syrian leader.
The National Committee to Support the Syrian Revolution was unveiled in Paris on Monday with 65 founding members including lawyers, businessmen and doctors as well as Khaddam, who served Assad and his father Hafez al-Assad for nearly 30 years.
The group, which has yet to make contact with other opposition groups such as the Syrian National Council (SNC), said it had grown frustrated by the various opposition groups' inability to unite and cited a lack of an emblematic figure as a main obstacle to galvanising Syrians.
"This committee is not in competition with anybody," Khaddam, who fled to Paris in 2005, said. "We don't want to discredit the SNC or its members and respect everybody that is working towards ending the massacres, but for now the opposition is not united ... and despite all these initiatives we don't have a clear message -- to bring the regime down."
Khaddam tried four years ago to establish a government-in-exile but fell out with other opposition groups and is widely mistrusted by Syrian dissidents who recall his time in office.
"We will support the opposition by using all means whether inside or outside the country," he said.

The Syrian opposition and a former member of the People "Muhammad Mamoun al-Homsi," Chairman and members of "the Syrian National Council (SNC)" urged resignation immediately, accusing "Burhan Ghaliyoun" opportunistic mind!!
And the "Al-Homsi" attacked the so-called Syrian National Council Syrian (SNC), according to the Egyptian newspaper "al-Yaum al-Saabia", "We do not doubt the skill of Ghaliyoun or in the sweet talk, but we do not trust him, especially since history is full of volatile and opportunistic."
He also questioned "Homsi" in the statement that the Syrian National Council receive the support of 80% of the Syrian people.

Al-Malikiyah: Intelligence services prevent student demonstrations

KURDWATCH, November 7, 2011—Since October 31, 2011, armed members of various intelligence services have been preventing demonstrations by students at secondary schools in al-Malikiyah. The schools are surrounded so that students have no opportunity to gather on the street after school. There have been no altercations to date.
The Kurdish Freedom Party in Syria (Azadî) divided
http://www.kurdwatch.org/index?aid=2170
KURDWATCH, November 7, 2011—In a declaration on October 30, 2011, the Kurdish Freedom Party in Syria (Azadî) stated that the second party congress since the party´s formation had taken place in Aleppo. Mustafa Jum'a was chosen as the new secretary and Bashar Amin was chosen to be the new assistant secretary. Moreover, the selection of a new politburo was announced.
The Kurdish Freedom Party in Syria (Azadî) originated on May 21, 2005 as a coalition between the Kurdish People´s Union Party in Syria under Mustafa Jum'a and Khayriddin Murad´s Kurdish Left Party in Syria. Murad was appointed secretary of the new party. He and the former members of the Left Party were not invited to the conference in Aleppo. Thus their position is that the Azadî remains under the leadership of Khayriddin Murad, and that the Azadî under Mustafa Jum'a´s leadership is merely a splinter group of former members of the Kurdish People's Union.
Thus there are currently two parties called the Kurdish Freedom Party in Syria (Azadî).
