[edit] Homs
homs
Kadesh, is not the same as Homs, Kadesh is a near by town known today as Tel Al-Nabi Mand.
[edit] Siege of the Industrial Zone
There is no way to properly document the incident of beatings. I stated the beatings as reports which is true. I personally know people who were present that day and were beaten up. I personaly got beaten up while inline waiting for my goverment issued ID. It was typical even in normal times. That incident is a fact., the Military intellgence forces rounded up the industrial zone and gave everyone a beating as a show of power. I say its proper to be mentioned as it bruzed the memory of the people of Homs. I am hoping that you are not asking for judicial statement from the syrian goverent to admit it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Syrianhomsi (talk • contribs) 08:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC).
- I remain highly skeptical of this. Like I said earlier, the source provided is comparable to a blog, and it does not form a reliable source for information. I will not remove your edits, but I would appreciate a better source, with credibility being a main requirement. Asabbagh 09:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I found more refrences on the internet describing the incident. nothing scholary which is to be expected given the nature of new reporting in police state. Thanks Asabbagh.

[edit] massacre in Homs
Assad led a massacre in Homs around 1982 and killed 25,000 people. It's not mentioned in a single word. 132.69.228.88 21:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

- Good job, but there's a small issue; the map is actually for the governorate, not the city, and it would be better if we had an image for the city, a skyline view for example. Asabbagh 06:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
