After seizing the outskirts of Damascus, The Free Syrian Army has withdrawn. A fierce counteract by forces loyal to Bashar Assad, has retaken these suburbs.

The Syrian army has regained control of some Damascus suburbs recently held by rebel forces, reports say.

Huge deployments of troops and tanks were used, and the suburb of Saqba is still under bombardment, activists say.

Opposition groups say six people have been killed in the city, with another 13 dead across the country.

French Foreign Minister Alan Juppe is due to travel to New York on Tuesday to press the UN Security Council to take action.

The Arab League suspended its observer mission on Saturday amid the upsurge of violence.

The fighting continues and I could not be more happier!

    “The fighting continues and I could not be more happier!”

    …And may all the other enemies of civilization, freedom, and humanity likewise consume each other.
