| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Three serious incidents took place in the regime-loyal parts of Homs city, but they pass through without any punishment or action taken. First one was in Abassiyeh neighborhood when many armed people advance toward a barrier for the regime and shot toward guards shouting "Ya Hussein" then they tossed in the calaboose You have the right to remain silent... guards and prevented anyone from interfering. The second incident was when a cycle of violence driven by a driver in military uniform hit a child with his mother in al-Khodari street, the child died and no one tried to rescue him, the driver run away without any attempt to catch him, then the driver's friends came and took the cycle of violence without any action taken against anyone, and the story got forgotten. In Nuzha district the third incident took place, when quarrel started between many people, then one of them held a hand grenade and threatened of exploding it among people who gathered to see what was happening. Hardly people convinced him to return it to his pocket, where no police or authority to act in such case. People in government-held areas of Homs suffer of its armed figures and their shocking practices and feel threatened of them more than fighters outside. "for a bag of bread, they threaten with a gun, for a gas bomb they raise grenades, and for a girl a Kalashnikov is open, but in fighting, all hideaway" a regime-loyalist summarized the situation and reality of regime's gunnies. Homs was once dubbed "the capital of the revolution" against Assad. Most of the city, except the battered district of Waar, has returned to regime control in 2014 after two years of bombardment and siege. |
