Overnight the crisis in Syria has intensified with Damascus stepping up its assault on rebel-held areas in the city of Homs. The picture in the media is of massive disaffection with the regime, but Adelaide Syrian refugee Abbas Al-Khafaji disagrees.

Abbas said the majority of Syrians support the al-Assad regime and the international media are exagerating the events. Abbas talked about concerns for his family in Syria and the dangers they encounter as Assad supporters.
