Dara’a. The city remains under siege. Snipers occupy Minarets and rooftops of official building, tanks are seen everywhere, and the army remains stationed on every street corner. Thousands of security men are roaming the city outskirts for any sign of trouble. Syrian TV is filming empty streets to show that it has pulled from Dara’a.
