The Syrians are outraged again take to the streets Monday in some neighborhoods in cities like Damascus and Homs, Hama, Aleppo and Idlib. Protests were also held in various suburbs of the capital and the coastal city of Latakia.
The Syrian opposition activists and refugees in Turkey also expressed their disappointment at the speech and said they were "disappointed" because they expected "ads clearer" and "concrete measures".
