Permanently moving our blog to Wordpress

As some of you may have noticed, we operate on a number of platforms these days. Wordpress.com, this blog account, Twitter to share news, commentary and articles, Facebook to put out news, share articles, etc.

However, spreading out our work to two blogs (on wordpress and blogger) minimises our ability to spread articles and attract an audience, as they will be divided between two sites, instead of being able to focus on the one site. As a result, we are moving our blog permanently to wordpress.com, where we have already been running a blog for some time. It is a better platform for blogging, sharing articles, gaining a following (and thus spreading the word about the cause of freedom, etc).

Thus, this will be our last post on this blog, as we shift our efforts permanently to wordpress.com. You can find our new blog here, where we will post from now on. Thanks go to all who have viewed this blog and shared posts from it so far. We will continue to keep it up for archival purposes.

We will also continue to post from our Twitter account (Radio_FreeSyria), Tumblr accountand Facebook page.

Regards,
The Radio Free Syria team.

Notable Syrian Activsts Surrender to the Regime in a "Deal"

This post was directly put out via Qusai Zakarya's managers at his Facebook page, blog, etc. The notable activist has turned himself in to the Assad regime, a selfless act in an attempt to save the lives of the starving people of Moadamiya. His life is now directly in danger, as he is utterly at the regime's mercy. Please share this post widely in an attempt to spread the word! If there is enough awareness, the Assad regime may think twice before harming him as they have harmed millions of other activists and innocents:
"QUSAI ACCEPTS DEAL TO LEAVE MOADAMIYA
Yesterday, Qusai Zakarya and several other opposition leaders and activists from Moadamiya accepted the regime’s offer of a face to face meeting as part of a deal for them to be allowed to leave the besieged area. Moadamiya’s fifteen month siege has not allowed people in or out and not allowed the entry of food.
The local council has been eager to finalize a truce so that larger food supplies would be allowed in – some supplies had entered after the local council first signed a truce with the regime on December 26.
Qusai and other opposition leaders had initially opposed the truce and continued to call for breaking the siege. The regime then demanded that certain activists in Moadamiya leave as a condition of the truce. Due to increasing pressure from residents who want the food shipments, Qusai, along with other activists, yesterday agreed to leave Moadamiya for a meeting with government officials. Their safety was guaranteed by the regime as part of the deal.
Qusai ‘s group was taken to a hotel in central Damascus. They are waiting for a meeting tonight – presumably with officials from the Ministry of Reconciliation and the Fourth Armored Division Headquarters.
A member of Qusai’s Facebook team has spoken with him and is hopeful that negotiations will be productive and permit him safe passage out of Syria."
Thank you for your help. May Gog bless and protect you Qusai, and may God protect Syria!

Show your support, end the siege!

Children, elderly people, and anyone who cannot obtain food, are dying of starvation and the Assad regime's brutal bombardment in Moadamiyet al Sham (a.k.a. Moadamiyeh). Not only that, but the regime has tormented and tortured the people using the disgusting tactic of claiming that they will allow food aid into the besieged neighbourhood if they fly the regime flag, only to give them token amounts. This is one of many such disgraceful atrocities: http://stopthesiege.wordpress.com/2014/01/03/a-few-brave-hearts/
Please show your support and solidarity with the starving people, and brave hunger-striker Qusai Zakarya, here, while there is still time.
