Blog 2 Syria Massacre Kills Over 30

Friday morning chaos erupted as machine-gun fire and mortars struck the Syrian city of Homs. It all started Thursday when a string of kidnappings and killings swept through the cities of Sunnis and Allawites. Activists stated that 11 bodies were found bloodied and piled on to beds in a building that had been hit in the city by machine-guns. The bodies included five small children, five women, and a man who varied in ages. 29 people including 8 children were killed in one building when it was struck with machine-guns and mortars. Another bombing occurred at a checkpoint outside the city of Idlib but the number of deaths in this bombing was not released.  Today (Friday) the U.N. Security Council held a private meeting to discuss this outburst and to hopefully find a solution or propose a new draft resolution to Syria. Navi Pillay who is the U.N. Rights Chief spoke and stated "Some areas are completely closed, such as parts of Homs, we are unable to verify much of the information that's coming to us. We are watching the figures, working closely with civil society organizations, and sifting through all the information that's coming to us.”

These massacres are unbelievable and it is hard to think that these kind of acts are going on across the country. If armed forces or authorities are not sent to Syria to help control these massacres it will only get worse. The political system in Syria is struggling right now and the Council needs to get together and work this out and find the best solution to this problem. The people of Syria are crying out for help but nothing is being done about it. Too many small children are being killed to ignore the problem. All of these problems are because of the unstable government and all of the disagreements people are having over it. They need to find a government that everyone agrees with or at least most everyone agrees with and fix the problem. The people of Syria are trying to matters in to their own hands by committing all of these crimes in hopes that they will get their point across and hope that the government will realize there is a problem. If this problem is not fixed soon, the whole country of Syria will be destroyed and it will be nothing and be wiped off the map.
