Syrian Revolution Digest, April 4, 2011
As Douma set about burying its martyrs, condoled by thousands of supporters pouring from nearby suburbs, arrests continue to mount in Homs and Deraa. Douma witnessed massive funeral marches in support of the protesters killed last Friday, with inhabitants of nearby suburbs showing up to show their support.
Meanwhile, a new Governor was appointed in Deraa, a retired Lieutenant General by the name of Muhammad Khalid Al-Hannous. Al-Hannous is originally from Hama, but spent most of his military service in Deraa.
As for Lattakia, there are reports of major outreach efforts between members of the Murshidiyyah, an Alawite sect with its own separate religious institutions, and Lattakia Sunni notables, in an attempt to bring the tense situation in the city under control.
