Activists in Syria's Homs have released a grim video satire in which they find gallows humour in two years spent under a crippling army siege and frequent bombardment. The YouTube clip, entitled "Official Statement," takes the form of a ****** of video statements based on those commonly released by Syrian armed groups, with a commander reading a proclamation as fighters brandish guns and flags behind him. In the first "statement," set at the start of the uprising, the fighters vow to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad in an amateurish video punctuated by miscues and laughter. The seven-minute video was released Friday by a group called A ***** of Light from Homs and has been viewed over 6,600 times on video-sharing site YouTube.
