Omar, another activist in Homs, dismissed the gathering as a failure. “It was lawyer talk, not war talk. The message is ‘We’re with you on paper but not more than that’,” he said.
A doctor in the rebellious town of Zabadani, who asked not to be named, said: “I love the people of all countries but it’s clear none of them are very concerned about us or our crisis.
“I’m sorry to be so depressing, but I’m really frightened that after all these efforts we will still end up like Hama in 1982, killed while the world waits and watches.”…
