Dera is the capital of the revolt that has shaken Syria, the last country to have been invested by the Arab spring. That 's where the Baathist regime of Bashar al-Assad is focusing more violent repression of dissent and, day after day, the reports coming from the city are increasingly dramatic. Some witnesses report that this morning members of the security forces, backed by tanks and armored vehicles, entered the city, firing in all directions.
A story confirmed by the pan-Arab television, the only international witnesses to what is happening in Syria for months. According to Al Jazeera security forces opened fire on the crowd, just after the dawn prayer. The reporters present report that the houses were converted into emergency hospitals.
At least five dead even if the activists speak of at least twenty casualties under fire from security forces and snipers on rooftops. Numerous sources have confirmed the presence of corpses in the streets near the Omari mosque. Forces loyal to the regime occupied the city center where they were deployed eight tanks and two armored vehicles.
High sources say that some helicopters have lifted off from the capital Damascus to Dera. They shoot and die in other cities. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported today that the pro-Assad's forces have shot dead at least 13 civilians in Jable. Security forces were deployed yesterday in the Sunni district of the coastal city after it had been a demonstration in support of democracy in the city, as stated by local activists.
A human rights activist in Damascus said on Saturday that Syrian security forces are continuing to intervene in the capital, and in particular in the suburb of Duma, shooting unarmed civilians and arresting residents. There would be injured, but when their number is not indicated. Also increase international tensions.
The authorities in Damascus had closed the border with Jordan. According to the Assad regime, we would be behind the riots Amman. In recent days President Assad denounced the neighboring country to be complicit with respect to the demonstrators against the Syrian government. He had also claimed that many of the people involved in managing the revolt against him came from his Jordanian border.
Also on the international front, four European countries of the UN Security Council - France, Britain, Germany and Portugal - while they are circulating a draft statement condemning the violent repression of demonstrations in Syria. The unknown is now represented by the position of Russia and China, already wary of the Libyan situation.
No initiative has been submitted for possible sanctions, a solution that is under consideration instead of the United States.
