Armament Offers, One of Which Was Lebanese, Rejected
The offer was categorically rejected, said Manna who informed those concerned in Daraa, his home town that armament offers should be rejected regardless of their origin, and weapons should never be used. The reply he received was that no weapons shall enter the district of Daraa.
However, Dr. Mannaa revealed that this was not the first armament offer of its kind. "There were two other armament offers, one of them came from a Lebanese party that is currently at direct political odds with Syria," Dr. Mannaa was quoted as saying. As for the parties that give great heed to arms being an effective element in winning the battle against the Syrian regime, Mannaa specified them as the following:A - American parties or parties related to the American administration.
Dr. Haytham Mannaa, spokesman of the Arab Commission for Human Rights, narrated the story of a phone call he had received for an important meeting at a cafe in the French capital, Paris.
Speaking to Al-Manar Website, Dr. Mannaa cited that a Syrian businessman - holding a second nationality - attended the meeting accompanied by three Syrians, along with another man working as a reporter for a giant Arabic TV network that belongs to a major Gulf State. In the meeting, talks were focused on Syria and “the needs of the youth in Daraa, Syria. The Syrian businessman with the Western nationality offered to arm Syrian opposition groups both qualitatively and quantitatively. According to Dr. Mannaa, he and the delegation with the businessman were stunned at what they had heard. The offer was categorically rejected, said Manna who informed those concerned in Daraa, his home town that armament offers should be rejected regardless of their origin, and weapons should never be used. The reply he received was that no weapons shall enter the district of Daraa.However, Dr. Mannaa revealed that this was not the first armament offer of its kind. "There were two other armament offers, one of them came from a Lebanese party that is currently at direct political odds with Syria," Dr. Mannaa was quoted as saying. As for the parties that give great heed to arms being an effective element in winning the battle against the Syrian regime, Mannaa specified them as the following:
B - Lebanese parties which were recently dealt severe political blows by the Syrian regime.
C - Those who have amassed fortunes in diaspora, and conceal hatred and desire for reprisal while having no interest in Syria’s internal affairs.
"Citizens of Southern Lebanon recognize the nationality of Syrian citizens, who welcomed the displaced families in their houses during the July 2006 war. Anyone who tries to push the Lebanese resistance or the Palestinian resistance into a confrontation with the Syrian people is certainly serving a foreign agenda rejected by Syrians altogether. The two elements of conspiracy in the Syrian criminal law are money and arms. Both are totally rejected in all forms by the people of Syria. He who receives money from any Lebanese or American party will be treated the same under the law. Martyrs’ families do not accept to hear the names of those financed by the former Lebanese PM or by the extreme right-wing American institutions. There were no members of Hezbollah in Daraa. The elements of the problem are the Syrians themselves, be it in power or outside it."
The former Syrian opposition MP (Ma’moun Homsi) had claimed that members of Hezbollah were present in the province of Daraa. However, Homsi’s claim had been discredited in an official Hezbollah statement.
Moreover, the chief of “Damascus Declaration National Council Abroad” (Abdul Razzaq Eid), who describes Hariri as “Mahathir of Arabs”, also claimed that Iranian agents were present at the place as well.
While Dr. Mannaa stressed Daraa people’s rejection of all kinds of armament, he pointed out that those who had offered arming him, had made the same offers to other Syrians, “but the rest of provinces have also expressed their categorical rejection of all such offers.”

On the involvement of some Lebanese parties with what is going on in Syria, Mannaa said “there are people who receive a monthly salary from Lebanese Caretaker PM Saad Hariri, for talking about Hezbollah more than talking about the Syrian people.”

The spokesperson of the Arab Commission for Human Rights revealed that there were some agents who had been distributing false statements on behalf of Daraa’s tribes, families, and the Syrian Assembly of Tribes at different times. “They would even introduce sectarian rhetoric and calls for vendetta. All these statements inspired by Washington and distributed via what is known as “Reform Party” led by (Farid Al-Ghaderi – who had visited the Israeli Knesset in 2007), or via pseudonyms such as “Amirat Taamor, - (Princess of Taamor) who works with him.

Syria, in the Eye of the Storm –
Part II By Nidal Hmedeh
Translated by: Eslam al-Rihani
No doubt that what happened in Syria in the past two weeks had caught the attention of many countries in the Arab region and the world. It is also unequivocal that what applies to Tunisia, Libya and Egypt does not apply to Syria. Those countries are not “states of confrontation” (with Israel and the US-Israeli project), but on the contrary, they are very close to Israel, with which they coordinate militarily and politically.
Therefore, Western circles tackled the Syrian question in a different way. The US provided the “Syrian opposition”, who are few in numbers, with the remnants of its regional followers, alongside with human and technical capabilities to pressure Syria through protests demanding reforms.
Websites and social communications networks like “Facebook” and “Twitter” were not the only means used to manage demonstrations on the ground; a significant foreign element was introduced, by sending dozens of UAE Thuraya mobile satellite handsets to specific activists in Syrian districts.
According to available information, an Emirati Crown Prince was behind sending the phones, which entitled their holders to communicate directly via satellite without going through fixed and mobile Syrian networks, in addition to Jordanian and UAE SIM cards.
As for weapons, reliable Jordanian sources have confirmed to Al-Manar Website that arms have been smuggled into Syria by pack animals.
But how were moves on ground managed?
Thuraya phones were the backbone of the operations room, and provided foreign leadership for small groups of people, who have been trained to perform under similar circumstances.
Communications were carried out between groups within Syria and others abroad, while inside the country, and according to exclusive information, the work had been focused on small groups comprising two individuals in some cases.
At the beginning of April, former Lebanese MP Nasser Qandil revealed serious information about Syrian opposition figures arriving to Lebanon to manage the “sabotage” operation in Syria.
Qandil said: January 18, 2011, PM Saad Hariri’s consultant Hani Hammoud went to Paris where he met with US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro,
US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffery Feltman, and March 14 prominent figure and former Minister Marwan Hmedeh.
During the meeting, Hariri’s Future Newspaper journalist Fares Khashan was commissioned to coordinate with the Syrian opposition abroad. He requested that a few Syrian opposition figures come to Lebanon, and in fact, their entrance was
secured through private jets and they did not have to check in at the airport.
Ma’moun Homsi, Farid El-Ghaderi,and Ribal Ref’at Al-Assad took their positions in Lebanon to direct the sabotage operation in Syria.
The Future Movement’s Secretary General Ahmad Hariri went to Tripoli and stayed at the Quality Inn hotel,which he transformed into an operations room where the organization process began. Why did the Secretary-General of the Saudi National Security Council Prince Bandar Bin Sultan threaten Qatar with a Wahhabi uprising if Al-Jazeera and Sheikh Yousuf Qaradawi did not take part in the campaign against Syria? Isn’t it because Syria is the key to drawing
geo-politics in the region?
