The Syrian population has a lot of toughness. Even after multiple massacres in town after town, they won't back down. They listened again to Assad but of course, he had nothing to say nor any changes to discuss. After the speech they hit the streets chanting "no to dialogue with murderers." Al Jazeera:
Protesters have taken to the streets across Syria to denounce a speech by President Bashar al-Assad, saying his address did not meet popular demands for sweeping political reform.
In a 70-minute televised speech, Assad acknowledged demands for reform were legitimate, but said "saboteurs" were exploiting the situation.
Although he called for "national dialogue," he said, "There is no political solution with those who carry arms and kill."
Rallies against Assad were held in major cities including Homs, Hama, Latakia and in Damascus suburbs.
