“Ready For Peaceful Resistance”

November 19, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

If I were preparing for a coup, I’d be shaking in my boots for reading this:

“March 14 in its entirety is ready to launch a peaceful civil resistance if March 8 forces target citizens, areas and public utilities,” Ad-Diyar newspaper’s Friday edition quoted an anonymous March 14 source as saying. March 14 will consider any attack on any citizen or region to be a blow against the entire country and its regime, the source added.

And that is supposed to make the coup mongers think twice before trying anything stupid.
