In death, a 13-year-old becomes a symbol of Syrian opposition

On April 29, people near Daraa, Syria advanced on the city looking to bring an end to the horrendous military siege going on there. These people wanted to bring Daraa many important supplies because the military rule there was so bad that bodies were left in the streets and secret medical clinics had to be established. On April 29 Daraa citizens were fired upon without reason by local security forces. Many were killed or wounded while still countless others were detained. Of the many detained was a young child named Hamza. Hamza was separated from his father during the shooting and on May 29 he was returned home. Unfortunately, despite his family's hopes, Hamza was given back to them dead with the body in terrible condition. His whole body was covered in bruises and he received several gunshot wounds to the chest on top of other injuries. No one is certain precisely what happened to young Hamza but the three gunshot wounds are extremely likely to be the primary cause of death. The death of this boy has brought much attention to the Syrian government and their terrible brutality against their own people.

CBT's
This situation demonstrates the CBT of sin. It shows how totally depraved we are due to our sinful nature. Without God mankind will continue to do things such as this. This is why God has had to intervene and set up government to help restrain us. Ultimately, we must make a conscious decision to serve Him and turn from our evil ways if we truly want to not see more things like this.
