| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Pro-Syrian regime people in Homs started moving their dead relatives' remains from the deaders' graveyard to their home villages. Sources mentioned that families refused to bury their killed sons in Fardous graveyard, the one allocated for Alawite people in Homs since the Seventies last century, and preferred to bury them in their villages. Moreover, after the increasing number of the killed soldiers brought to the graveyard, almost 3000, its name has been turned into "Martyrs' graveyard". Eye witnesses mentioned that a state of panicking prevails the pro-regime's area of Homs after the significant achievement in Hama and JisrAlshughour, as many sand bags and walls are being installed to separate these areas from the rebels' held areas. Activists expect that reasons behind noticeable defending procedure is the fear of sudden attacks by Homs' rebels at regime's security branches and military bases. All those security developments coincided with the announcement of re-opening Khalid bin al-Walid street, that connects Waer neighbourhood and the Baladi Stadium, as part of the truce between regime and rebels. |
