"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Syrian opposition wants UN monitors armed- Al-Akbhar


Syria's main opposition group was "surprised" by the UN observer mission's suspension, it said on Saturday, calling on the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution under Chapter VII to arm the monitors.

"At a time when the regime is committing its worst crimes against the Syrian people, we are surprised by the UN observers' decision to suspend their work, because of what they described as 'an intensification' of violence," the Syrian National Council said in a statement obtained by AFP.
The SNC's statement said the UN monitors had failed "to pinpoint the source or type of violence in question."

Suspending the mission, the statement added, "serves the criminal regime's interests, and denies the Syrian people the little protection they had."
