Syria Civil War 2013 - Battlefield Syria: Heavy Fighting Clashes And Firefights. Heavy Fighting, Heavy Clashes and Intense Firefights. This pictures do we get if we look up the internet for Syria Videos. No war ever before was so well documented  by alternatet sources like the Syrian Civil War. In 2013 there was such an high amount and flood of informations, pictures and videos about this conflict that it is impossible to cover them all up in just one video. This compilation brings back some famous scenes of the conflict that apeared on the net in 2013. It shows footage of the Syrian Army and also of the Syrian Rebells in HD. It dont seems like this storm of raw information will end in 2014 as there is still no end of the conflict in sign.

Description and Timeline of the Happenings:
00:11-1:15 T72 oboard GoPro films Syrian Army Bmp driving on an IED during SAA Assault on Rebel held positions in Damascus. 

1:15-2:44 T72 onboard GoPro films Rebel ambush on firendly T72 Tank wich results in the lost of one Tank. The View also switches to the rebel perspective and shows their view on the Tank Unit.

2:44-6:26 Al-Nusra Front in heavy intense urban fighting firefight action against government forces in Deir-eZ Zor. The Al-Nusra Front is a radical islamists group fighting to establish a religious state under the sharia law in Syria. 

6:26-8:27 Members of the Islamic Front in heavy fighting against government forces in Eastern Ghouta during the rebel Ghouta Offensive. The Islamic Front is a merger of seven rebel groups involved in the Syrian civil war who joined their forces together in November 2013.

discussed if the fighter seen in the Video are regular FSA rebels or radical militants from outside but according to their group behaviour,comunication and movement during the whole combat situation it is very likely that they are sunni ex-army members who defected to the Free Syrian Army. Also you can see a kuran lying in the dirt next to him. Radical islamists wouldnt do this because for them the kuran is to holy to let him lying on the ground. Also their accents where clearly identyfied to be strong Syrian Aleppo Accents wich means they are Syrians.

The Spanish-led consortium working on a giant project to expand the Panama Canal is threatening to suspend the operation if its demands for payment are not met.

It has warned the Panama Canal Authority that work will stop in three weeks\' time in a row over who is responsible for cost overruns. Led by Spain\'s Sacyr Vallehermoso, the consortium - which also includes Impregilo of Italy, Belgian firm Jan De Nul and Panama\'s Constructora Urbana - is claiming $1.6 billion (1.16 billion euros).

The project - to build new locks to accommodate larger ships of up to 12,000 containers instead of the current 5,000 - is nine months behind schedule and is now due for completion in June 2015.

Shortly after work began in 2009, there was a four-month delay as the authority considered the cement the consortium was using to be of poor quality.

Heavy security surrounded Cairo\'s National Police Academy complex Wednesday, where the incitement trial for ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was set to take place. Morsi failed to attend due to bad weather halting his transfer to Cairo from Alexandria, resulting in the trial being postponed until February 1.

Morsi, alongside 14 Muslim Brotherhood figures, is accused of inciting violence which resulted in the death of protesters outside the presidential palace during clashes in December 2012.

A helicopter reportedly carrying some of the defendants arrived at the National Police Academy complex in Cairo on Wednesday morning. According to state media, Morsi was set to be airlifted also but his flight was delayed owing to bad weather conditions. He is currently in a jail near Alexandria.

FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO: http://ymlp.com/zKJiYw ---------- REFERENCES MADE BY NELSON MANDELA PLO: The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) was created in 1964 with the purpose of advancing the struggle for Palestinian self determination. The PLO is recognised as the "sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people" by over 100 countries with which it holds diplomatic relations. Like South Africa's (now ruling ANC) the PLO was considered by the United States and Israel to be a terrorist organisation until 1991. In 1993 Israel officially recognised the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people. YASSER ARAFAT: Late leader of the Palestinian people as well as chairman of the PLO. ------------------------------ ABOUT THE VIDEO - 1990 Town Hall Meeting with Nelson Mandela on Palestine, Cuba and other issues The above video is from a 1990 town hall meeting, held in New York City and chaired by Ted Koppel of ABC Networks (click here to watch the video on YouTube). The meeting formed part Nelson Mandela's first visit to the USA immediately following his release from prison. A significant part of the town hall meeting focused on Nelson Mandela's advocating (on behalf of the African National Congress and the larger South African liberation struggle) for sanctions to be applied against Apartheid South Africa, his and the ANC's support for the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) as well as his close friendship with Yasser Arafat (of Palestine) and Fidel Castro (of Cuba). The town hall meeting took place in 1990, long before the world had embraced Nelson Mandela as a "giant of justice". However, even then, when it may have been unfashionable and unpopular to support the Palestinians against, what Mandela termed, Israeli "colonialism", Mandela stood firm and resolute on his principles and the policies of the ANC - Mandela was, after all, conveying the long-standing positions held by the ANC and the larger South African liberation movement. Nelson Mandela supported the Palestinian struggle when it was unfashionable and unpopular, he was a true leader.

It has warned the Panama Canal Authority that work will stop in three weeks' time in a row over who is responsible for cost overruns. Led by Spain's Sacyr Vallehermoso, the consortium - which also includes Impregilo of Italy, Belgian firm Jan De Nul and Panama's Constructora Urbana - is claiming $1.6 billion (1.16 billion euros). The project - to build new locks to accommodate larger ships of up to 12,000 containers instead of the current 5,000 - is nine months behind schedule and is now due for completion in June 2015. Shortly after work began in 2009, there was a four-month delay as the authority considered the cement the consortium was using to be of poor quality.

Heavy security surrounded Cairo's National Police Academy complex Wednesday, where the incitement trial for ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was set to take place. Morsi failed to attend due to bad weather halting his transfer to Cairo from Alexandria, resulting in the trial being postponed until February 1. Morsi, alongside 14 Muslim Brotherhood figures, is accused of inciting violence which resulted in the death of protesters outside the presidential palace during clashes in December 2012. A helicopter reportedly carrying some of the defendants arrived at the National Police Academy complex in Cairo on Wednesday morning. According to state media, Morsi was set to be airlifted also but his flight was delayed owing to bad weather conditions. He is currently in a jail near Alexandria.

Lord have mercy.. +Copts' bitter enemy is Saudi Arabia. Wake up Copts, PLZ. In 1955, representatives of 38 Muslim governments met at Jeddah in Saudi Arabia to decide about "cleansing" the Middle East of its Christian minorities. committed Egypt to a policy of persecuting the country's Christian Copt population. He declared that in 40 years the Copts "will emigrate or be transformed to shoe polishers...or converted to Islam". About 15% of this embattled minority left Egypt in subsequent years. Wahhabi petro-dollars penetrated the Egyptian media, brainwashing the country through religious radio broadcasts, on television, and in the press. Shari`a (Islamic law), rather than secularism, captured the moral high-ground in Egypt, while blocking the Copts from military, civil service, professional, and academic positions, or advancement. It was forbidden to repair churches and build new ones. Preaching disdain and hatred of Christians (and Jews) became the staple Islamic Wahhabi ideological and cultural diet in Egypt, as it was in Saudi Arabia. -Read this & see the Photos plez...

"WHAT IS THE DEMOCRACY?" Thailand political crisis 2013 is another example of Dictatorial Democracy countries in this world. This Dictatorship is run by Thaksin Regime and his sister's government, Yingluck Shinawatra Administration. Although they claimed that they came from election and people should have no rights to overthrow them, millions of massive Thai people disagreed and were out on the streets risking their lives as they could not stand them to corrupt the country anymore. Whether the peaceful protests of millions of people can overthrow a shameless government is remained to be seen. We fully support the bravery Thai people and hope Thailand can reset and reform before the next election. January 3, 2014.
