Litteraturfest med den syriske poeten Adonis. Utenfor unge menn med flagget til Syrian National Coalition, the
Syrian Interim Government. During the ongoing revolution, the Syrian opposition, represented by the Syrian National Council, then by the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces[7] (commonly named the Syrian National Coalition) used a modified version of the independence flag first used in 1932. The modified flag began to be used as a universal display of the protesting opposition in late 2011. The opposition wanted to distinguish themselves from the current Syrian government and favoured the use of the flag used when Syria gained its independence from France. Khaled Kamal, an official from the Syrian National Council, now believes this flag to also represent independence and the end of Bashar al-Assad's government. Today the flag is mainly used in areas controlled by the Syrian National Coalition. (Wikip.)
