  1. Dearest tweeps: I'm getting concerned messages, so I'm reemerging to assure y'all I am safe & sound in Beirut. Thanks for worrying about me!
  2. @diplomasyeh I am indeed, still in the Sham. Where are you based?
  3. @diplomasyeh I'm still here, thanks so much for checking. Very frustrated not to be tweeting.
  4. Please note the Burberry purse on the desk at 1:29. That is all. http://youtu.be/vjleYAA3dKs
  5. @wissamtarif Wissam, I'd like to DM you, could you please follow? Many thanks.
  6. Names? Foreign or Syrian? RT @wissamtarif: Three journalists arbitrary detained in #Damascus few minutes ago. #Syria #Daraa #March15
  7. Well, that's an interesting way of putting it, Russia. http://bit.ly/gb53nk
  8. Reliable source. RT @abdulhaykal: Martial law in #Syria will be lifted within hours. Confirmed (and wonderful!) news.
  9. Should be up and running again soon.
  10. Guys, I've gone dark while figuring some things out. Please follow @LaurenBohn for yesterday's updates and @RulaAmin for Al Jazeera's takes.
  11. All of Syria is holding its breath right now.
  12. @Seleucid In Aleppo, too, eh? Went until like 3 am in my neighborhood, then started up again at 7 am or so. Lots of rouh and dam.
  13. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. RT @Seleucid: Got the Shaaban video guys! http://youtu.be/pyh78vF5Xzk
  14. @Seleucid Oof, never mind. Bah.
  15. The lack of media in Syria today, especially in Daraa, is deeply troubling. Even internationals aren't writing for fear of being kicked out.
