  • Story Text: Hundreds of anti-Assad Syrians rallied outside the Syrian embassy in Amman following Friday prayers on (April 27) to continue their support for the Syrian revolution and the Free Syrian Army.
    Protesters danced with Syrian independence flags while chanting against President Bashar Al-Assad's regime.
    They also criticized Arab and Islamic governments' response to the situation in Syria.
    "I came two months ago to this country to deliver a message and to send a real warning, from rebels (inside Syria) for Arab and Islamic government in this Arab region, who only support us by talking. I know for a fact that this embassy, I swear, will not last for more than a few days," Sultan Doughemi, a protester, told Reuters.
    The spokesman for international mediator, Kofi Annan, announced on (April 27) that fifteen more ceasefire monitors of a total advance team of 30 are expected to be in Syria by Monday.
