The 45-year-old is facing the most serious crisis of his 11-year rule. Assad has promised to consider reforms, but this has failed to calm protesters’ anger. The government says its hated, decades-old emergency law will be lifted, but has not said when.
Dozens have died in pro-democracy protests in the southern city of Deraa and surrounding towns. The military are on the streets of Latakia, where 12 people died in demonstrations on Saturday. |
