Cannot wait to meet The Sopranos Of Syria? Then here we go to take a look at the news about The Sopranos Of Syria.

For 7 straight weeks Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has ruthlessly suppressed protests calling for reform, flexibility, and increasingly the overthrow of his regime. Insan, a regional human rights organization, estimates that almost more than 600 people have been killed. Hundreds far more have been arrested. Last week, the U.S. imposed sanctions on two of Assad's family members: his cousin who is head of security in Deraa, the epicenter of the uprising, and his brother Maher who commands an army division. He was involved in the horrifying 10-day siege of Deraa. Nowadays, the European Union announced a travel ban and an asset freeze on 14 Syrian officials. The EU hasn't launched names but, but Bashar Assad is not on the listing. (Even with objections from the French who want to maintain him accountable). An unnamed diplomat told the New York Occasions that "it would be appealing to keep the lines of communication open to the Syrian leader." That is somehow a kind of naive considering. There's a prolonged history with the Assads who have constantly played the West for a bunch of fools, ever before considering that Hafez al-Assad grabbed ability in 1971. They have treated Syria as their fiefdom at any time since.  

What's really shocked us is that it is said that some key family members of Bashar al-Assad are straight out of the Godfather, or the Sopranos.
