A call for Muslims in Syria demonstrated against the government in Damascus failed, despite the mobilization was promoted by activists on the Internet as the "Day of Rage", an echo of protests in Egypt. Only yesterday the rains flooded the streets of the Syrian capital, since no anti-government demonstration disrupted the daily activities of that country, whose government is one of the strictest regimes in the Arab world.
For one week, activists promoted the event in the social networking site Facebook as "a peaceful revolution Syria 2011" to "put an end to corruption and tyranny," and even until this Friday more than 10 000 people had indicated "like" the call did not resonate. The streets inside the walled Old City were quiet afternoon, without a protester in sight in front of the parliament building in Damascus, where he was the appointment, according to footage aired by the Syrian satellite television TV Channel.
The call for the "Day of Wrath" was launched by a group called the Syrian Revolution 2001, inspired by the protests in Egypt and Tunisia. Just last week, Syrian President Bashir al-Assad, said it was unlikely to register protests in Damascus, because "there is no difference between the government and the general population." He said that to avoid riots governments must be closely linked to the beliefs of the people.
"That's the central point."
