People should know about the continuing anti-Assad, anti-Nusra protests in the opposition controlled town of Ma'arat Numan. This was posted in Facebook by Kenan Rahmani on 4/14/16:
'4/13/2016: Amazing, amazing anti-Assad, anti-Nusra protest in Ma'arat Numan with Syrians singing "Yalla irhal Jolani" to the tune of "Yalla irhal ya Bashar." This protest marks the 32nd consecutive day of anti-Nusra protests in Ma'arat al-Numan.
"Yalla irhal" means "Get out" so they are calling on Jolani, the head of Jabhat al-Nusra, to get out.
Keep in mind that these protesters are the ones that so many pro-Assad people tried to dismiss as undercover extremists. Also a huge number of women can be seen in the protest supporting the revolution against Assad and ISIS/Nusra.'
Re "the opposition’s charges that the regime spoiled the cessation of hostilities": what is your assessment of the many charges that the regime has continued sieges of civilian areas, notably Darayya, which is only 10 km from downtown Damascus, throughout the cessation? Many have said that these sieges constitute war crimes.
A very significant development: among the many Friday demonstrations have been those in Ma'arat Nu'man town in rural Idlib, against both Jabhat al-Nusra and the Assad regime.
4/8/2016: A woman explains, "We are in a protest first against the oppression of Assad for five years, and then Nusra came [and oppressed us too]." Another woman explains that they are protesting, "for the blood of the martyrs, the innocents."
