Following are excerpts from a Cairo rally featuring Syrian children in support of the Syrian revolution, which aired on the Al-Jazeera network on December 9, 2011:
Syrian child: Today, we have received the information that 10,000 soldiers are heading toward Homs in 400 tanks. But for five months, Talbise has been besieged by 16,000 soldiers and 285 tanks. They shelled the mosques and every neighborhood of the city. Talbise is part of Homs. The army bombarded it, using 285 tanks and 16,000 soldiers. 50,000 people live in Talbise, but the army sent 285 tanks to besiege it. Assad's regime is about to collapse, and his bridge will break down, one plank after the other.
