At least 29 dead as Assad speaks on reforms
Several neighborhoods of Damascus and Aleppo, Syria's second city, were shaken Friday by unprecedented demonstrations, joining tens of thousands of people across the country demanding the ouster of the regime.
The regime's forces again fired on demonstrators in "Friday OF the popular resistance", killing at least one and injuring a dozen in the district of Mazze, in the west of the capital, according to a Syrian NGOs.
"This is the first time that the demonstrations spread to uptown," Moaz Chami, from the local coordination committees - the umbrella of the protest movements, said. Relatively unaffected by the revolt, the city of Aleppo saw large demonstrations on Friday.
"We will not back against tanks and guns," chanted demonstrators in Idleb province (northwest) which has seen massive demonstrations. Huge protests reported in Deraa province (south), where one person was killed by gunfire.
In total, the violence killed at least 29 people Friday, including five civilians in the district of Baba Amr in Homs.
In Damascus, days after the announcement of a referendum next week on a new draft constitution, President Assad spoke about reforms, which must be concurrent with "the return to calm." This comment came during a meeting with the Mauritanian Prime Minister Moulaye Ould Mohamed Laghdaf.
Mr. Laghdaf was in Damascus to urge Syrian President to "cooperate with the Arab League." The Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, who opposes a "regime change brought by force", is also expected Friday in Syria.

I would like to offer something which can keep u on the road to everything you want that will benefit each one without wasting time - Abraham Maslows hierarchy of needs - it is in the shape of a triangle and incorporates each ones' needs and the environment - which leads to fulfilment and autonomy - all over the world people are not fully compos mentis and I give the example of Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton - we had a video on the tv which told us their were 7or so different Saddam Husseins , it was a documentary. Bill Clinton sent us the live coverage of OJ Simpson's murder case and his of Monica Lewinsky - I know that both of these things were used at the time of the war in yugoslavia to intimidate woman and children and families and it is to no good purpose that showed us this we did not believe that Bill Clinton was 'all there' and we did not believe that Saddam Hussein was"all there" , but in South Africa , just the same. We "each and everyone in a real sense do not believe there is law for the ordinary person ; some of us follow the process but we know it is to know avail - on esperanto/cybernetic communication/bush telegraph/witchcraft/voodoo they use this illegal form of communication to make you kill each other just like in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe , Rwanda and Burundi, but they are not there , everytime us look at an Assad man(if you are not in that group do you get and unreasonable rising of anger so strong that you have to walk away or maybe you kill him but is in a kind of madness - this is all described in Rational Behaviour therapy ; Maxie Maultsby - it is a group of physiological symptoms including the increasing of adrenalin released in the brain as well as increased blood pressure, increased heartbeat , less oxygen to the brain, and maybe shallow breathing, a lot of thoughts which maybe personal and general and all this can be done by satellite by very bad people and when they did the investigation on pagad and alqaeda , it led back to South Africa for many reasons , it is another torture as I have said before that we hear the people here laughing when there is a bomb or a shooting of people because they make us hear the confusion and if I understood your language they make me hear the words and they make us feel all the injuries your people sustain so when we feel as if part of our head is blown away or that we are shot or stabbed and there is no one near us we know that somewhere someone has been hurt or killed - I am not the one who does these things but I know some of these people and they persecute , separate families, cause vehicle accidents and torture us in every way you can think of - one of the people told me in a threatening way when I came back from Israel that "now they have found the place in the "dna" where the soul is. It is better if you all put your guns down and maybe you will have to destroy all the nuclear arms everywhere - keep USA doing all their work in their own country - and keep looking at Abraham Maslows hierarchy of needs and to restore potential and full brain function you can use Montessori's prepared environment to retrain your senses - she did this more than 100 years ago and this is one reason why there was never supposed to be a first world war - karen
