A year of revolt and repression in Syria: 8,500 dead, 200,000 displaced

The Syrian army took control of the rebel stronghold of Idleb on Wednesday and intensified repression in other centers of protest in Syria, as a rebel leader said that Bashar al-Assad deserved a fate "worse" than the Libyan Muammar Gaddafi who was lynched when captured by rebels.

As the conflict entered its second year on Thursday, U.S. President Barack Obama reiterated that President Assad will step down no matter what as he spoke before his guest, British Prime Minister David Cameron.
