Syrian opposition launches iPhone app to fight government

PanARMENIAN.Net - A mobile application which documents the Syrian revolution has allowed users to follow opposition groups and the latest news across the country.

Al Arabiya reports that the application named Souria Wa Bas (which roughly translates as “Syria and That’s All”) is available for the iPhone and iPad, and has even documented the recent attack on intelligence headquarters in Damascus.

It included links to footage showing an aerial photo of the complex, complete with arrows believed to show the three directions from which fighters launched their assault.

The app also covers the actions of other opposition groups, including the Local Coordination Committees which claim to have members across the country.

Souria Wa Bas includes links for news, videos, a map of opposition hot spots and the revolution-themed jokes.

The app’s creators say they produced Souria Wa Bas to counter regime accounts of the opposition’s activities.

The unrest has claimed the lives of more than 3,500 people across the country since protests erupted in mid-March according to United Nations estimates.
