Syrians Stage Mass Rally in Solidarity with Syria in Sydney, Australia

The Syrian community in Australia, activists from friendly countries and "Australians for Syria" Group staged a mass rally against the fierce attack imposed on Syria.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The mass rally flooded the streets of Sydney city, as the marchers waved the Syrian Arab flag and photos of President Bashar al-Assad. They carried several placards demonstrating their condemnation of the attack on Syria and the desperate attempts to undermine its steadfastness. They roundly denounced the crimes committed by the foreign-backed armed groups against the innocent citizens of Syria, lauding the sacrifices of the Syrian army for the sake of restoring security and stability to Syria, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported. Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country. Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes. The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad. In October 2011, calm was almost restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies sought hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots to topple President Assad, who is well known in the world for his anti-Israeli stances.End item/ 149
