Sirijsko ministarstvo informacija izdalo je proglas u kojem stoji kako se upravo vodi snažan medijski rat. "Nakon današnjeg napada u Damasku, stotine web stranica, društvene mreže i satelitski kanali plasiraju ogromnu količinu informacija, vijesti i fotografija s ciljem kako bi srušili moral sirijskog naroda. Radi se o gomili lažnih informacija i fotografija koje plasiraju zapadni obavještajni aparati putem svojih centara za psihološko ratovanje", stoji u proglasu. Također se ističe kako ovi mediji, koji plasiraju lažne informacije, "neće uspjeti destabilizirati Siriju, baš kao što ni oružane bande nisu uspjele", prenosi SANA.

У тренуцима када се рат у Сирији води по квартовима главног града Дамаска, Кофи Анан убеђује Путина а Бан Ки Мун врши притисак на Кину да ипак прихвате резолуција која у крајњој тачки предвиђа и војну интервенцију у Сирији
Како ће се и кад завршити дипломатска иницијатива западних земаља и водећих људи УН-а? Да ли Русија и Кина штите режим Башара ел Асада или, како је рекао председник Сирије, САД, Катар и Саудијска Арабија наоружавају и финансирају побуњенике?
Док траје дипломатско надгорњавање, рат у Дамаску све је бруталнији, јутрос су гореле касарне у непосредној близини председничке палате а преко сто хиљада Сиријаца већ је побегло из земље.
